GeForce G310 Fermi - Nvidia news! 2010

Devil May Cry 4

For this game, we used the integrated benchmark, with maximum quality settings, DirectX 10 APIs, and Anti-Aliasing 4x. This game doesn’t have a highly demanding graphic engine, so here’s the results:

Values are expressed in FPS

GeForce GTX 480

- 2560 x 1600 - 100
- 1920 x 1200 - 154
- 1680 x 1050 - 184

Game Tests

Crysis Warhead

For this title, the Hocbench benchmarking tool was used. The map chosen was Airfield, and through the benchmarking tool, the AF was set to 16x and no anti-aliasing. Crysis is usually a heavy title that doesn’t really need any particular filters in order to push the maximum from the card.

The settings were at very high and only with DirectX 10.

GeForce GTX 480

- 2560 x 1600 - 20
- 1920 x 1200 - 32
- 1680 x 1050 - 39
- 1280 x 1024 - 49

GeForce GTX 470

- 2560 x 1600 - 15

In a nutshell, this card deserves the best performance award, but it’s recommended only to those who really are able to fully experience its potential, with, for example, a 24″ monitor with 1920×1200 resolution and a high-end configuration. Otherwise, it’s a waste of money, since the card isn’t necessarily cheap.

PRO:

- High level performance
- Possibility of performing other tasks beyond the gaming due to the CUDA technology
- PhysX library support
- Low idle energy consumption
- Very beautiful aesthetically

CONS:

- High temperature when working to its full potential
- High maximum TDB
- Dissipator isn’t completely made of copper
- Very high price.
