Default Nvidia's GeForce GTX 480 and 470 graphics processors

Seems like we've been waiting for these new GeForces for a long time now. Nvidia gave us a first glimpse at its latest GPU architecture about half a year ago, right around the time that AMD was introducing its Radeon HD 5870. In the intervening six months, AMD has fleshed out its Radeon HD 5000 series with a full suite of DirectX 11-class GPUs and graphics cards. Meanwhile, Nvidia's GF100 chip is later than a stoner to study hall.

Fortunately, our wait is coming to an end. The GeForce GTX 470 and 480 are expected to be available soon, and we've wrangled several of them for testing. We can say with confidence that the GF100 is nothing if not fascinating, regardless of whether it succeeds or fails.
We've included the Matrix 5870 2GB in our tests, alongside a regular Radeon HD 5870. The Matrix card is labeled as "Radeon HD 5870 2GB," but keep in mind that its performance may be more influenced by its bumped-up core clock speed than by the additional video RAM. In fact, memory may be a limiting factor in this card's performance, since its clock speed hasn't budged from the usual 1200MHz.
