BFG BFGEGTX275896OCE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 OC 896MB VGA Card Reviews

Large card, both length and width, April 30, 2009

By David L.

I can't give a performance review, but as far as BFG is concerned, they did an excellent job. First things first, though. The GTX 275 reference is large. It measures:

Length: 10 9/16"

Height: 3 7/8"

Width: 1 3/8"

Measurements taken from the face of the rear plate, not the mounting lip. So if you have a midtower, and have hard drives in the lower front quadrant of your case, you may have trouble fitting this card. This is the problem I ran into, so I'm returning it. Thanks Amazon, for the awesome return policy!

A Solid card (mostly...) 3/13/2010

Pros: Well... it's the 5870 - it's fast. Although the only games I've got that really test it are probably Call of Pripyat and the new Aliens Vs. Predator game (it looks really good I have to say). It does a great job in both games. I can crank all the DX11 effects and the regular "sunrise slowness" in Stalker isn't really noticeable with this card.

EVGA GeForce GTX260 Core 216 Superclocked 896MB Graphics Card User Reviews

EVGA GeForce GTX 260, September 4, 2009

This card is based on Nvidia's most current GPU architecture, the GT200. Priced at $200, it's the least expensive model we tested that's capable of running Crysis at 60-plus frames per second.

If you shop for a GeForce GTX 260 card, make sure you're comparing apples to apples: Core 216 models like the one you see here are manufactured using a 55nm process, and are outfitted with 216 shader processors. Conversely, cards based on the original 65nm GTX 260 GPU remain on the market but possess only 192 processors. Both versions have a 448-bit interface to 896MB of GDDR3 memory.
