Advantages: flexible, single slot design
Disadvantages: runs very hot temperature

As a standalone 3D graphics card, and depending on the game, AMD's new $180 ATI Radeon HD 4850 is very competitive with Nvidia's $229 GeForce 9800 GTX+. What's potentially more exciting is that the 4850 also seems to scale better in dual-card Crossfire mode than anything Nvidia has for the same price. It's also only a single-slot card, which gives you more flexibility in the kind of system you can use it with. Physical convenience aside, if the price ... Read review

Advantages: easy overclocking
Disadvantages: expensive

When the GeForce GTX 200 series originally launched I covered some of the basic processing architecture, so feel free to reference that article to get a feel for the GTX 200 series. The processing architecture of the GeForce GTX 280 video card has 240 shader processors that are arranged within 10 blocks of 24 as seen in the diagram above. Each of these blocks is called a TPC (Thread Processing Cluster) and is where the focus will be for this article. ...
...thanks to the eight 64-bit memory controllers that are also seen in the above image. In order to make a lower cost part that more people can afford, NVIDIA then made a part with less TPCs and memory controllers by disabling certain areas of the core. The result of 'neutering' the GTX 280 was the GTX 260 seen here. The quick and easy way to give the GeForce GTX 260 a performance boost was to enable/add one more Thread Processing Cluster, which contains ... Read review

Advantages: For Quad monitor
Disadvantages: None

ATI's FireMV multi-view 2D workstation acceleration cards are designed exclusively for the financial and corporate marketplaces. FireMV products ensure system compatibility and investment protection.The FireMV design utilizes passive cooling for a higher mean time between failures (MTBF) providing greater reliability. Its inherently lower power consumption helps reduce the overall power load without sacrificing performance - an increasingly important ...
...You can span the video output on up to four monitors. Great for daily multi-tasking such as dispatch centers,financial markets, or anytime you need multiple screens for displaying information. Do not use in the small form factor computers as the power requirements from the videoa card are higher than what the motherboards PCI express slots are rated. It may work for a few days, but the screen will eventually flcker and go blank. May not work on all ... Read review

Advantages: direct x 10 , open gl 2.1
Disadvantages: None

The best of nvidia series i think which a middle class person could afford. With direct x 10 it could run any game. Support for 16 x anti aliasing relly is shocking. It seems like we are in real world of gaming. Why wasting too much money on graphic cards like 9500 etc when 8600 is available at double the cost. it is the best of 8000 series. Open gl 2.1 also opens a wide variety of options. I had played gta 4 pc version (patched) and is running without ... Read review
