Gaming Graphics Charts Q1/2008
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.
