Covering 403 desktop graphics cards, this comprehensive comparison allows you to easily compare 20 different specifications for each and every card. If you need to find out about the specification of any card, just come over and check out our Desktop Graphics Comparison Guide.

We hope it will prove to be a useful reference. We will keep this guide updated regularly so do check back for the latest updates.

Here are the latest updates in Revision 18.6 :

Quote:

- Added the NVIDIA GeForce GTS 240 graphics card.
- Updated the specifications of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 and GeForce 210 graphics cards.
- Renamed the NVIDIA GeForce G210 to the NVIDIA GeForce 210.

it's no longer going to be OEM.

70w power consumption, 96 CUDA cores.

Yeah, just received a sample.

A few quick things to review (just the latest stuff, no time to go deeper);

The G310, or really the Geforce 310, is only a rebranded Geforce 210 , ie GT218 using the same model number - VG885AA all at the same clocks.

NVIDIA GeForce 310 DP PCIe x16 Graphics Card (VG885AA) specifications - HP Small & Medium Business products

Every PC needs good graphics.
Every PC needs good graphics.

It is not Fermi based. And even the above has it as DX10.1 not DX11.

For ATi Redwood is supposed to still be 40nm not 32nm (despite the hopes of many 32nm won't be ready yet), I doubt Cedar will be 32nm either, and actually they're supposed to go straight to the optical shrink 28nm again skipping the entry level 32nm process going straight to shrink, but that's likely not until the refreshes in the summer/fall, when TSMC and Global Foundries will be producing GPUs on the shrink of the 32nm process.

Also for the power #s of the HD5770 and 5750 they both seem a little high according to Xbit's look at the draw at the connectors, under Furmark (most others average the system not the card itself;
ATI Radeon HD 5970: Uncompromising Monster (page 5) - X-bit labs

And also the 5770 has 800 ALUs and the 5750 has 720 , clocked 850 on the 5770 not 825 as in the list and texture count is 40/36 not the 56 listed for both and the ROPs 16 not 24 (which wouldn't match for the memory interface at that #), I think the 24 number is a left-over from the 192bit rumour days.

Plus if you look for the HD5970Hemlock (which you still have listed as the HD5870X2), the reason it's underclocked to 5750 levels (not overclocked as you have in the guide) is so that it's rated power draw is under 300W as required by PCI-SIG, and the actual draw is below that at stock speeds (which is what you have listed) as seen above it's just over 200W. And the launch date needs to be changed to November 18 not Oct 20;
AMD Introduces ATI Radeon? HD 5970: Fastest Graphics Card in the World

Plus you might want to change the code names to the chips if you're sticking with #s versus code-names, using the RV870 instead of Cypress and RV830 instead of Juniper, because you know the previous generations also had name codenames, only most people didn't know them except when Fuad bragged about the FUDO and then probably lamented the superior Rodin.

Also Adrian, do you still really believe that anything Fermi based will be in market before the end of the year?

Isn't it more realistic to put the GTX3xx series as Q1-2010 for everything, and maybe even Q2 for the lower end offspring?

A good article on the Fermi architecture is at the Tech Report, written by Rys from Beyond 3D;

Thanks as always for the lists.
