To be more accurate, the GeForce GTX 480 is roughly 50% to 100% faster than the GeForce GTX 285 in DirectX games. It is also up to 2.5x faster in PhysX calculations and up to 3.5x faster in ray tracing operations. With this kind of processing power, the GeForce GTX 480 will have no problem tackling 8x anti-aliasing or better.
