GeForce GTX 485M Review

GeForce GTX 485M is a high-end mobile GFX based on the 2010 Fermi architecture.
It's based on the Fermi GF114 Core and offers 384 Shader Processing Units, 64 TMUs and 32 ROPs on a 256-bit memory interface of 2GB GDDR5. The central clock runs at 575MHz and the memory clock operates at 750MHz. Expect a power consumption of up to 100 Watts.
GeForce GTX 485M was later tweaked and released as GeForce GTX 580M using the Fermi GF114 Core - a power optimized Fermi GF104 Core which allowed higher clock frequencies while still consuming the same power.
Expect modern demanding games to be playable at 1080p with fluent frame rates (30+).
