We have said time and again that with a certain amount of overclocking, the GTX 275 would easily surpass the GTX 285 in performance and the FTW does just that and then some. There are no two ways about it: this card is insanely fast. EVGA on the other hand has been successful in binning enough chips that their own FTW edition was released…and with a 713Mhz core speed to boot. Certain board partners have struggled to release their high end products due to the simple fact that so few of these GPUs can run above 700Mhz. BFG’s GTX 275 OC offers just that and wins our Dam Good Value Award.Īfter talking to a number of manufacturers and even doing a few tests ourselves, it is pretty obvious that there is very little overclocking headroom in the GTX 275 cards. In today’s economic climate, consumers are looking for less frills and more value. Granted, you don’t get a massive list of accessories or balls-to-the-wall clock speeds but not many people are looking for those types of extra (sometimes costly) items. At the time of writing, it was the least expensive of all the cards here while offering a lifetime warranty and the possibility of trading up to a better card once one becomes available. Where BFG’s GTX 275 OC really comes into its own is in the value it offers for your hard earned dollars.
The increases look good on paper but that’s about it. However, those same clock speeds also prove to be this GTX 275’s greatest enemy as well since they are just not high enough to make a perceptible impact on gaming performance. Let’s get on to a few final words about each card, shall we?īFG’s entry into this roundup proved itself to be perfectly placed to offer a bit of extra performance with it’s higher than stock clock speeds. The same goes for custom cooling solutions as well but at least these same manufacturers have been gung-ho to increase clock speeds to stratospheric levels. Unfortunately, the show and tell portion of this roundup was a bit dull due to the fact that when it comes to higher-end cards, most of Nvidia’s board partners just don’t have the luxury (or R&D money) to develop their own custom designs. As we mentioned in our original review: GTX 285 performance for a lot less money. Indeed, when you look at things from a pure price / performance standpoint, the GTX 275 is extremely hard to beat. In its stock form this card provides surprisingly good value when compared to Nvidia’s top of the line GTX 285 and proves itself to be a perfect alternative to its closest competition: ATI’s HD4890 1GB. As such, quite a few people held off purchasing Team Red’s new wunderkind until they saw exactly where Nvidia’s card would end up price-wise. Truth be told though, Nvidia played their hand perfectly as the announcement of the GTX 275 was timed perfectly to take the wind out of ATI’s sails on the HD 4890’s launch day. At first, things didn’t look too good for it considering its paper launch and subsequent unavailability at most retailers for weeks following the “official” availability date.
