GeForce GTS 450 1GB SLI Testing
While I didn’t have time to run the complete gamut of performance tests in our system configured with SLI GTS 450s, I was able to run a handful of benchmarks at 1920×1200 with two of the reference cards from NVIDIA. Let’s take a look at the results:






The scaling percentages that NVIDIA continues to pump out are impressive.
Also note that in our SLI testing the pair of GTS 450s is faster than the single GTX 470 in all games except Metro 2033 due to the heavy use of tessellation and the GF100 GPU’s advantages there. Considering you will be able to get a pair of GTS 450 cards for about $250 and that a single GTX 470 will still cost you about $280, that combination should definitely be a consideration.
- Far Cry 2: 89%
- HAWX: 94%
- Metro 2033: 93%
- 3DMark Vantage: 91%

Thanks for taking your time
Thanks for taking your time writing this review. I just purchased a new pc with GTS 450, should be receiving it tommorow. I think it’s a good card for a good price for anyone who’s not a high end game graphics maximalist.
As long as you are not
As long as you are not looking for a rebate, the GeForce is an OK product though I have had to replace my GeForce video card twice since my PC’s purchase six years ago. If you are expecting a rebate then this is not the product for you. I have been jilted twice on rebates and it won’t happen again.
