GeForce GTS 450 SLI scaling performance - tech|
(hx) 11:24 PM CEST - Oct,09 2010 |
Benchmark Reviews take a look at the GeForce GTS 450 SLI scaling performance. Since a single $129 GeForce GTS 450 can outperform an AMD Radeon HD 5750 and match the 5770, what kind of performance do you get from two GTS 450's for $258? Check it out!
The NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 requires a single six-pin PCI-E power connection for proper operation. Resting at idle, the power draw consumed only 16 watts of electricity... 6W less than the ATI Radeon HD 5770, and half the amount required for the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, GTX 280, GTX 465 at idle. Once 3D-applications begin to demand power from the GPU, electrical power consumption climbed to full-throttle. Measured with 3D 'torture' load using FurMark, the GeForce GTS 450 consumed 122 watts, which nearly matches the Radeon 5770 yet still below the 8800 GT. Although GF106 Fermi GPUs features the same 40nm fabrication process as the GF100 part, it's clear that NVIDIA's GTS 450 is better suited for 'Green' enthusiasts.
In summary, a single GTS 450 offers considerable power for the money when driven at the most common monitor resolutions (1280x1024 and 1680x1050), but two GTS 460's combine extremely well to fill the $260 price point and beat several more expensive options. We tested the GTS 450 SLI set to work especially well with NVIDIA's 3D-Vision Surround technology, even when performance was modest at 1920x1080. Priced at time of launch for $129.99 the mid-level 1GB GeForce GTS 450 video card is a far better choice than AMD's $120 Radeon HD 5750, and in many cases it makes the $150 Radeon HD 5770 look unfit for its price point. Add a second video card for a grand total of $260, and there's almost nothing that competes in the segment.
NVIDIA's GeForce GTS 450 is a real winner for SLI enthusiasts.
Pros:
+ Tremendous overclocking potential!
+ Cool operating temperatures at idle and load
+ SLI consumes only 32 watts of power at idle
+ Great value at $260 - easily beats Radeon 5850
+ Excellent price-to-performance cost ratio
+ Enables triple-monitor 3D Vision Surround capability
+ Fan externally exhausts heat outside of case
+ Quiet cooling fan under loaded operation
+ Outperforms Radeon 5870 in many games
+ Adds 32x CSAA post-processing detail
Cons:
- Triple-SLI not supported

last 10 comments: psolord | (12:09 AM CEST - Oct,10 2010 ) | That's a bit old matey.
Was released on GTS 450 launch day. Yeah nice scaling though. Most mainstream cards scale well. | |
| (12:14 AM CEST - Oct,10 2010 ) | Yeah I know it's older article... but still worth mentioning. Low temps, low power consumtion...low noise...nowadays it's seems to be difficult to choose a gaming graphics card. | |
psolord | (12:45 AM CEST - Oct,10 2010 ) | Actually I was arguing with a guy in B3D about this.
I was saying that GTS 450 SLI, is a very viable option compared to the 5870, since they offer essentially the same performance, while costing a lot less (around 100$).
Still the 450s SLI consume 50W more at load, but even that, is not so much. It's not like you hold onto them for life anyway. The money you'd save from the purchase, would be more than enough to counter a tad higher electricity bills. | |
psolord | (12:50 AM CEST - Oct,10 2010 ) | PS The fans do not exhaust the temperature out of the case. Where did they see that? Truth be told, this site has always been a little biased in favor of Nvidia, but that's OK. Still a nice review. | |
gx-x | (06:10 AM CEST - Oct,10 2010 ) | SLi/CF is meant for hi resolution gaming, since that is the purpose for what is the whole thing meant for. Hi resolution is defined from generation to generation. 3 years ago it was 1980x1200, today it's 2560x1900 or some eyefinity/ nvidia surround. Sli or CF is NOT menat to replace a single graphic board in rendering HD like resolutions. 4870x2 vs 4870 was not an excellent performer or scaler until you crank up AA to 8x or resolution to 1920+ with AA. That is what is sli for.
450 SLi is meant to confuse "n00bs" into thinking that is some sort of a type of a graphic adapter that they can get for 100$, they mostly don't realise that SLi/CF involves TWO graphic cards of that type. Say what you will but even gtx 260 will devastate Sli 450s in HD resolutions with 4xAA turned on in most of actual gameplay scenarios.
I got hooked up once on 7300gt SLi being able to outperform even 7900gt, and it was so on 1280x1024 in 3dmark 2005, but god was I wrong when I compared them in quake 4 1680x1050 with 4xAA. Not only 7800gt was faster, but it was so lame on 2x7300gt that it was simply a waste of money.
sli/cf is for hi res gaming with AA on. For mainstream resolutions single gpu will always give more bang for the buck. ;)
PS. Don't forget that it all depends on the actual test levels. I had less than 40fps in BFBC2 in some areas with highly OCed 5850 in 1680x1050 and 2xAA... | |

I think some clarifications are required here.
First of all, two 7300GTs are weaker than a 7900GT. In order to get higher performance from a dual gpu solution, compared to a single one, the combined specs must exceed those of the single gpu solution.
The more heavy the load, the more performance you get from a multi gpu solution. Multi gpu solution is NOT worthless.
To illustrate my point better, here are a couple of my Mafia 2 benchmarks on my 5850s equipped rig.
YouTube - MAFIA 2 BENCHMARK 1920x1080 AAon ATI 5850 CORE i7-860 @4.0GHz
YouTube - MAFIA 2 BENCHMARK 1920X1080 AAon CROSSFIRE 2X ATI 5850 CORE i7-860 @4.0GHz
47fps for the single card, 80fps for dual cards. This is nothing to shake a stick at. Same goes for all heavy games. | |
gx-x | (03:17 PM CEST - Oct,10 2010 ) | I didn't say it's worthless, quite the opposite, I said it makes sense just in cases such as your example, except that I was talking about two weaker cards competing against one stronger (well, I didn't write that post very well in terms of dividing the content hehe :) )
also, 5850 is not a middle end/low end card, quite the contrary. In the main article (that we are commenting) you can see that 2x450s cant outperform single 5850...
PS. As for my previous post, I meant 2x7300 vs 7800, 7900 was a typo the first time. In benchmarks and in most games they did outperform 7800, but only in lower resolutions. When actual width of the bus and amount of memory come into play, those 2x7300 simply become almost just like a single one. With that comparison I meant to point out that weak cards in SLi are "worthless" compared to giving 20-30$ more to get only ONE but higher class card. Same goes for CF of course. | |
