Overall Review: Excellent mid to high end performance and a perfect card for the average user (I'm more than average but don't feel a need for a 30" monitor) using common LCD's with native resolutions of 1680x10x1200. and rebates are a marketing scam that companies only offer to snag consumers into a purchase with the statistical expectation that the majority will forget to send them in, so DON'T FORGET. It runs like butter at 1680x1050 (my monitor's nĬons: I just ate a bunch of Triscuit crackers topped with Jalapeno's and Pepperjack cheese and my mouth is on FIRE. I can also actually play Fallout 3 with AF as well as AA (tested 8x, didn't test any higher). As a baseline test comparison it's totally valid.
GEFORCE GTX 275 REVIEW 3DMARK DRIVERS
In any case the Vantage results show the Pro's of this card since the days of cheating via drivers are long gone. I had the benchmark numbers for both but forgot to back them up when I just did a clean format. My System: Core2Quad Q6600 GHz / 8 GB GSkill are comparison benchmarks:įar Cry 2 runs almost twice as fast.
so I did some research and pulled the trigger on this GTX 275.
GEFORCE GTX 275 REVIEW 3DMARK UPGRADE
It was a tough call to upgrade only made easier by the option of using the 8800 in a budget system I built for my father. I was running a BFG 8800 GTS 512 (G92) and was still very pleased with it's performance even in today's software. Pros: I had been contemplating a video card upgrade for about four months. Some people mention length, but its standard length for a preformance card (and no issue in a Full Tower anyway). In the crysis GPU benchmark, at 1440x900 with 8x MSAA and everything very high except shadows and shaders (which are high) the FPS averages about 40.Īll in all, an excellent card, great deal, and probably the best OCing GPU I have encountered.Ĭons: The thing totally said "informatino, software, and case stickers" or something like that, BUT THERE WERE NO CASE STICKERS!. In Call of Duty 4, with alll settings maxed at 1680x1050, it gets a constant 60fps (the v-sync rate). At those clocks, I run the fan at 100% (noisy but I can't hear it when gaming anyway) and, even after a while, it only got to 67C. It seems perfectly stable (ran several benchmarks and looped crysis benchmarks for a while) and I could probably go higher. Right now I have the card OC'd to 720MHz core, 1160 memory. Never had an EVGA before, but I will probably stick with them from now on, if only for the EVGA Precision software. Threw this in there,, got better performance with the stock clocks than with my old ones OC'd. Pros: This was an upgrade from 2x 8800GT's in SLI.
