MSI N285GTX Superpipe 2G PCIe Graphics card

3DMark is a popular synthetic gaming benchmark used by many gamers and overclockers to gauge the performance of their PC’s. All 3DMark runs were performed a total of 5 times, with the highest and lowest results being removed and an average calculated from the remaining 3 results.

 
 
 
 
Results Analysis

After a shaky start in 3DMark 05, the GTX285 began to dominate the single GPU field with only the dual GPU cards causing the 285 any difficulties. Perhaps most significantly was the advantage the 2GB 285 has over it’s 1GB card from the same stable. I was very surprised at the difference as I only expected the extra GB of memory to only really come into play when the resolutions were increased but this is plainly not the case here.

Let’s see if this transfers over to our real world gaming benchmarks.
