Feel free to add your own, maybe some sites will cover this (or maybe they have and I missed it), and people can link to sites which do. Or maybe nice users with the cards required will cover the questions.


1) DX11 feature impact comparison between Fermi and HD58xx and between GTX480 and GTX470
e.g. AvP with different settings on and off to consider the impact of each DX11 feature (shadow options, tessellation etc).

2) Super high res benchmarks (using TripleHead2Go to emulate future capabilities where required).
e.g. triple-monitor 1680x1050 or 1920x1200 setups comparing GTX480 SLI (using TH2Go rather than the as-of-yet unimplemented surround view feature) with various ATI Eyefinity capable cards.

3) Comparison of the GTX480 and 470 in tessellation at various clock speeds to show the impact of the disabled cluster on tessellation performance if there's a sensible way to try and do it (equalist overall throughput performance by having a GTX470 clocked higher on core and mem than GTX480 so that theoretical fillrate and mem bandwidth are equal?)

4) Performance hit from using hardware PhysX features, especially the effect on minimum frame rates (also the effect of the CUDA water effects in Just Cause 2)
