The Most Important Part in Your Gaming PC, Period.
- Pros: I am very satisfied with the one that I current own. It's one of the highest factory-overclocked GTX280 out there. I have so far tested two XFX GX280NZDDU cards, and, despite seemingly high temperature during load, both work very well and stably. I also open the case and put another side fan to cool it.
It is worth mention that a faster Core i7 or high-speed DDR 3 memory can't help you push FPS of some games even higher, and the most important component in a high-end gaming PC is still a fast video card. I personally tested this card and my Q6600 system and found that the XXX edition runs better then those equipped with a non-overclocked GTX280 with Core i7 Q965! You may go to vr-zone and compare my figures and its figures. It tells us to invest in graphics cards, not expensive CPUs!!
- Cons: Price may be a con, but it is totally worth it. The performance you gain from increased frame rate under high resolution such as 1920x1200 or 1680x1050 can't be help much once you have installed a decent processor such as Q6600 or Q9550 running over 3GHz.
My Results:
Resolution - AA - Min FPS - Average FPS - Max FPS
1280x800 - 0xAA - 24.95 - 41.64 - 55.64
1600x1200 - 0xAA - 20.72 - 29.38 - 37.11
1680x1050 - 0xAA - 20.51 - 30.84 - 39.25
1680x1050 - 2xAA - 17.80 - 25.88 - 32.28
1920x1200 - 0xAA - 16.96 - 25.31 - 31.44
1920x1200 - 2xAA - 14.37 - 21.31 - 25.96
Results from Vr-zone
It has a Core i7 @3201MHz, DDR3 memory, but a non-overclocked GTX280 with the same driver like mine:
Resolution - AA - Min FPS - Average FPS - Max FPS
1600x1200 - 0xAA - 16.82 - 24.64 - 31.62
1920x1200 - 0xAA - 14.16 - 21.38 - 26.18
- Other Thoughts: With the launch of Core i7, have you noticed that almost all reviews use GTX280 as their standard graphics card in their configurations? Well, I was wondering how much can a new Core i7 help me to increase FPS in some games. Above are my test results running Crysis Warhead ambush map:
System Configuration:
Q6600@3294MHz
Thermalright Ultima-90i with a 9cm Panaflo fan@2450rpm

The King of GPUs
- Pros: Super Fast single card solution. Has No problems whatsoever running games at high resolutions(1920X1200), with AA and AF turned on. Nice price drop on these cards as of late. Grab this card if you can, you will not be dissapointed
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: I bought this card to pair up with my BFG GTX 280 OCX, to run in SLI. My system specs: XFX 680i LT SLI mobo, E8500 wolfdale(stock clock), 2X2gb OCZ SLI memory, Windows XP. I can run crysis at 1920X1200, direct X 10 hack, 8XAA and 16XAF, and average 34 frames per second. My system runs all my games flawlessly, no hiccups while maxing out everything. A great card, I highly recommend it for single solution or to SLI with another overclocked model.
Beast.
- Pros: This thing rips through Crysis on 1650x1050. Everything is on high, and im getting 80 FPS! used riva tuner to get the fan speed up, and it runs cooler than my 9600 GT. Stock fan speeds, with a well ventilated case, it runs just as cool as the 9600.
- Cons: none. fits in mid and full atx cases, size is large, but it doesnt matter. ( i actually like it, makes it look more powerful. )
- Other Thoughts: Do not tri SLI unless you have something like an Antec 1200 case. Thats what i have, and it stays really cool, even under pressure. If u squeeze it in lanboxes or small mid sized cases, itll fit, but overheat, especially because the fan is pointing down (and cold air sinks (because hot air rises)) itll be like blowing hot air onto ur cards GPU.
