Galaxy’s GTX 480 SuperOverclock – The World’s fastest single GPU video card!
DiRT 2
Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is a racing game that was released in September 2009, and is the sequel to Colin McRae: Dirt. It includes many new race-events, including stadium events as your RV travels from one event to another in many real-world environments across four continents. Dirt 2 includes five different event types even allowing you to compete at new locations. It also includes a new multiplayer mode. Dirt 2 is powered by an updated version of the EGO engine which was featured in Race Driver: Grid. This updated EGO engine also features an updated physics engine.
We are using the Dirt 2 full retail game built-in benchmark at the highest “ultra” DX11 setting with 8xAA applied. First we test our top cards at 2560×1600:
The GTX 480 pulls ahead in a fairly tight race. What about 1920×1200?
The Galaxy GTX 480 SOC gets the DiRT 2 checkered flag on the DX11 pathway as the GTXes pull further away at 1920×1200.
i read that 2 gtx 460 nvidia video cards in sli are blowing out the 480 version so its better to buy 2 gtx 460 cards and set them in sli then buying 1 gtx 480 card because 1 gtx 480 is really wasting money
There are always advantages of a single powerful GPU over multi-GPU. You also have no upgrade path from GTX 460 SLI as you do with a single GTX 480 or GTX 580.
I am running benchmarks for a brand new article that will cover this subject: EVGA FTW GTX 460 vs. Galaxy GTX 460, versus GTX 480 and GTX 580. It should be up in a week or so.
I couldn’t concur more. Effectively Said!
