Nvidia GeForce Graphic Cards performance Chart
Nov 15th
ATI‘s Radeon series graphic cards have a simple linear kind of naming. It’s easy to guess the performance of an ATI card by just looking at its name.
On the other hand, selecting an Nvidia card for your desktop can be a headache, thanks to their confusing naming hierarchy (used to be much better when the series went as 8600GT, 8800GT, 9800GT etc…). With the present naming system it is just impossible to make up a chart in your mind to find a rough performance of the card. This performance chart from the GeForce website could help you find the right card for your PC. Make sure to get it printed and keep it with you when you go out shopping for an Nvidia GPU.

ATI HD5970 – Worlds most powerful GPU
Dec 8th

The launch of ATI HD5970 marked the introduction of the most powerful dx11 based graphics processing unit (GPU) in the market. ATI now monopolizes the GPU market by providing more affordable cards and also the most powerful ones. At the launch time it was priced around 600$, varying for overclock versions. It is about a feet long (12.5 inches, that is huge for a GPU), probably the longest one in the market, not considering nVidia‘s quadro series.
The net performance of some overclocked versions reaches close to 5.0 Tera flops, or 5 trillion floating operations per second. A factory edition does around 4.6 teraflops. Number of stream processors are 1600X2. This can run every game presently available at full HD resolutions ie 1080p, with anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering beefed up to the max at playable frame rates. To utilize its full potential you’ll need a monitor that supports atleast full HD. To avoid CPU bottle-necking intel core i7 processor is a must!
