ATI Radeon HD 5870 vs. NVIDIA GeForce GTX285
When we for the first time encountered DirectX 10 graphics card, it was signed by NVIDIA. It was legendary GeForce 8800GTX that was, in some way, ahead of its time. Although, a lot of us were excited about new DirectX 10, while biggest surprises were Stream Processing and unexpected performance increase offered by new NVIDIA GPU. G80 is the GPU on which NVIDIA based its entire product lineup in past few years. ATI on the other side had bumpy ride since they didn’t enter the DirectX 10 era with too much pomp. These days situation is drastically different, compared to 2006, so the fact that G80 is still base for a lot of NVIDIA graphics cards aren’t exciting news anymore. Nevertheless, ATI over the past few years presented a lot of new features, and despite the fact that they weren’t first with DirectX 10 accelerator, they were first to present DirectX 10.1 compatible graphics card that competition stubbornly refused to implement and support. After that ATI implemented better manufacturing processes, first 55nm and than 40nm manufacturing process. Even implementation of new generation of memory was done without a hitch. All in all, DirectX 10 era was very interesting, but it has come time to present you first and, at this moment, only DirectX 11 graphics card that marks the beginning of DirectX 11 era.
