My Gosh.....that card might outdo the next gen consoles let alone the current HD consoles.

 

My graphics card is a year and a half old, it still outperforms the current gen HD consoles.

I Run Fallout 3 on High with Quad AA @1680x1050,  It's always >30FPS

Left 4 Dead plays on maximum settings as do Dead Space, Warhammer Online.

In fact the only game i can't play on High even when i apply a Massive OC to the card is DAMN CRYSIS lol.

 

As the Next Gen consoles are already in development I would think it's likely they'll probably be about equal in power to the high end cards of today.

 

Admittedly that's not a given anymore due to the Wii and the "recession" (AKA Greedy Scaredy Cat Banks). It's entirely possible they'll use graphics tech (from PCs not consoles)  from between 2 years ago and now to keep costs down.

 

 

Also, in case anyone wondering why the GTX295 with 1792MB GDDR3 has comparative issues at higher AA, it's because with the GX2-type cards that nVidia release, the Graphics is mirrored for both cards, where as with this card the full amount of RAM should be available.

 

Edit Was For: Resolution change - It previously said 1680x10500. Interesting Rez eh?
