Once again, we've updated the VGA charts with all of the latest cards on the market. The updated version includes a wealth of new information, as we've added a large number of new graphics cards from both Nvidia and ATI. From the Nvidia camp we've benchmarked the new DirectX 10 Geforce 8800 GT in both single card and SLI configuration, as well as the midrange Geforce 8600 GTS and low-end Geforce 8400 GS turbocache edition. On the ATI side, we've added the new DirectX 10.1 Radeons 3870 and 3850, and augmented the Radeon 2900 XT results with a crossfire configuration. We've also included the Radeon 2600 PRO and 2600 XT, both in single and Crossfire configurations as well. Finally, as the counterpoint for the 8400 GS turbocache, we've added the Radeon 2400 Pro hypermemory edition. While this might seem to be a large amount of information to soak in, our simple interface has proven invaluable to those of us who need to compare various graphics card performance in specific titles.

Featuring 101 different combinations of single, dual, three-way, and four-way graphics card configurations, our VGA Charts for 2008 include the largest collection of benchmarks we’ve ever published — almost 7,000 scores, in fact. We have five generations of cards covered here, from AMD’s X800-, X1000-, HD 2000-, HD 3000-, and HD 4000-series to Nvidia’s GeForce 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, and GTX 200-series boards. Our tested resolutions cover 1280x1024, 1680x1050, and 1920x1200—with and without AA/AF. So, whether you’re looking for the best value in graphics for your favorite game or investigating the benefit of multi-card rendering through CrossFire and SLI, this year’s VGA charts are the most comprehensive yet.

In the marketplace, new technologies can save both time and money; however there are many products to choose from. If you are like most professionals, you might not have the time to see what graphics product will improve efficiency as well as maintain your bottom line. That is why we dedicated a chart for workstation graphics cards. We wanted to give you the definitive tool that cuts out the research to help you make wise purchasing decisions. We take a look at performance in 3D Studio Max, Maya, and Solidworks in 19 separate benchmarks This page is updated on a regular basis and provides a unique resource for everybody who is looking for a workstation graphics card.
