The GeForce GTX 480 shines in nearly all games in our test bench, giving out the highest performance figures for a single-GPU graphics card. It especially performs well in some of the newest DirectX 11 generation tests, something worth discerning.
[H]ardOCP:
The GTX 480 is quite simply not a “Radeon HD 5870 Killer.” We don’t know if we were supposed to think it would be or not, but with the power consumption this beast requires, you would hope it would be providing a bit more performance than it is. We can’t say that any of the real world gameplay advantages blew us away compared to the experience of gaming on a Radeon HD 5870.

Even so, when we tally up the results out of all titles tested, the GeForce GTX 480 wins nearly everywhere except in Anno 1404 and ironically 3DMark Vantage. There are scenarios where the GTX 480 is very close to the 5870, but there are also scenarios where the GTX 480 completely and utterly kicks the Radeon HD 5870 in the proverbial nuts. When we focus solely on the GTX 480 now for a minute, substandard and topic of discussion obviously has to be the TDP — the card when stressed will utilize nearly 250 Watts and that certainly is pretty steep power consumption, especially compared to ATI’s Radeon 5870 with a TDP of only 188W. You are going to need a decently ventilated PC as the heat the GeForce GTX 480 produces is plentiful. Make no mistake, the card will get hot, very hot. So that’s definitely something you need to keep in the back of your head.

Yes, the GTX 480 offers great performance in our test games, especially in Dirt 2 and Bad Company 2, but compared to the competition, it doesn’t make a strong enough case for itself, especially when you consider that there are just so many caveats involved with buying this card. The higher price, the 100W of extra power consumption, scorchingly hot temperatures and a much noisier stock cooler are all extremely detrimental to its desirability. The HD 5870 remains a far better choice if you’re a gamer; while we’ve yet to see how the GTX 480 performs with CUDA apps and Folding, at this stage Fermi looks like a flop.
