GTX285 vs GTX260+ vs 4850 Performance Test

Pros

• Fastest single GPU available.
• Over 30% faster than a GTX260+ in many situations.
• Best anisotropic filtering in consumer space.
• Flexible profile system allows the user to force their preferred settings into games.
• A wide range of AA modes, including full screen super-sampling.
• Robust drivers that work well in a range of games and settings.
• Outstanding 3D image quality.
• 1 GB video memory for taxing games.
• Excellent dual-slot cooler with great thermals, especially when idle.

Cons

• Extremely poor performance with 8xMSAA in some games, especially OpenGL titles.
• TrAA doesn’t function in OpenGL.

Conclusion

I find the GTX285 to be a great upgrade over the GTX260+ because it’s over 30% faster in many real-world gaming situations I use. And as a single GPU, it has none of the inherent disadvantages of multi GPU solutions.

In a nutshell it offers everything the GTX260+ gave me, but it’s faster, so it’ll be a great asset for my gaming sessions.
