GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition vs GeForce GTS 450
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition |
Around 39% higher average synthetic performance. |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Tesla), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
PhysX support, however PhysX performance on newest games may be poor |
Reasons to consider GeForce GTS 450 |
98 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition . |
This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
Supports PhysX |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Fermi), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
