Noise has long become a serious problem of contemporary high-performance computers. Both - users and component makers have united their efforts in battling this factor. Today we are going to check out Gigabyte’s contribution in the form of their new silent solution.

Performance in Strategies

Red Alert 3: Uprising

The game has a frame rate limiter fixed at 30fps. We could not disable it.

The Radeon HD 4850 are unrivalled whereas the GeForce GTS 250 feels no better even with 1 gigabyte of graphics memory. The bottom speed of all the cards, expecting the Radeon HD 4870 1GB, is not quite comfortable, yet this parameter is not so important for this game as for first-person shooters or flight simulators.

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault

The recently released add-on to the original game does not introduce any technical innovations but contains a new plotline that allows you to play for the USSR.

Neither side can claim victory in this test: the Radeon HD 4850 and GeForce GTS 250 cannot provide a comfortable bottom speed even at 1280x1024 if you use full-screen antialiasing. As usual, the total noiselessness of the GV-R485MC-1GI becomes the winning feature here.
