Best High-End Graphic Cards 2012 – Benchmark Comparison

 

High-End Graphic Cards 2012 Review

 

Our technological world has got surrounded with graphical manifestation all around. Be it your gaming needs or your video playback, graphics card is needed by every person who works with graphic oriented applications. Graphic cards are the actual base behind the extraordinary graphics performance we are delivered with.

When it comes to buying a Graphics card or making selection on the GPU configurations, we undergo a state of confusion. In the world of Technology, where we tend to move faster and speedier day-by-day through different devices there it gets quite confusing for a user to select the best graphics cards which can deliver fastest and efficient graphics performance. Here is our guide to find the best graphics card for your machine amongst top Graphics card in the world:

 

  • NVidia GeForce GTX 690 –NVidia brought their two best GPUs (Kepler GK104) placed on one card, crowned with excellent cooler in GeForce GTX 690, making it one of the fastest Single-board Graphics cards. The GPU runs 3072 Cores at 915MHz clocking speed which can be over clocked to 1,019MHz. It also includes 4GB memory of 512 bit GDDR5 and the GPU boost technology which is the real power source behind its performance.

 

  • AMD Radeon HD 6990 –AMD Radeon HD 6990 cards place two Cayman XT GPUs – R6970 on a single board. Featuring high speed GDDR5 memory of 4GB and up to 830MHz clocking speed, expect some high resolution gaming in faster speeds with Radeon HD 6990. Its PowerTune Technology ensures over clocking of speed and handles intelligent power management during its faster performance.

 

  • NVidia GeForce GTX 590 – NVidia GeForce GTX 590 is the combined prototype of 1024 NVidia SUDA architecture, 6 Billion Transistors, GDDR5 memory of 3GB and over 2200 individual components, all incorporated in 11 inch dual card slot. Experience some high definition Gaming experience through its NVIDIA 3D Vision surround technology which allows intense and stereoscopic gaming which can be configured on four different displays using its four separate video outputs.

 

  • AMD Radeon HD 7970World’s first 28nm silicon GPU is the configuration of multi GPU in a revolutionary GCN architecture using Silicon Fabrication process. It holds the capacity to double the system interface bandwidth to 32 GB/s and became the first card to come incompliant with Microsoft for shipping its major new version of Windows.

 

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX570 – Excellent performance and solid DirectX 11 capabilities with 480 CUDA Cores on an improved structure defines NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570. The core of this graphic card operates at the clocking speed of 732MHz and along with 1.2 GB of GGR5 Memory it speeds up to 950MHz against 1002MHz of GTX 580. 480 CUDA cores on NVidia Fermi architecture is what perfectly defines the structure of this Graphics card.

 

  • AMD Radeon HD 6870 X2 –HD6870 card combines two Barts processor on single board graphics card as crossfire configuration. The card can deliver 2560 x 1600 resolution performance and multiscreen setups with its PowerColorHD Feature. The card comes with 2GB GDDR5 memory which in combination with BartX processor can deliver the clocking speed up to 900MHz.
