Pre-Overclocked GeForce GTX 260 & 280 Comparison
bit-tech has just tested three factory overclocked GeForce GTX series graphics cards; the ASUS Geforce GTX 280 TOP, BFG GeForce GTX 280 OCX, and Zotac GeForce GTX 260 AMP!.
Here’s an excerpt:
“The Zotac GeForce GTX 260 suffers from the same issues that troubled the stock model, namely competing with the phenomenal Radeon HD 4870; a card priced a full £45 below it and delivering very comparable performance. While the extra performance is certainly welcome, it’s still just too expensive when compared to ATI’s wonder card.
However, it's only £10-15 more expensive than stock clocked GeForce GTX 260s so if you really are in the market for a GeForce GTX 260, then a few quid more for a performance that almost always exceeds the Radeon HD 4870 and even scratches the ankles of the stock GeForce GTX 280 cards, certainly seem a tempting offer.”
Between these three cards, the Zotac definitely stands out as the model that benefits the most from its overclocked state. Having said that, if money is no object and an overclocked GTX 280 is on your “must-buy” list, then I would advise that you wait for the impressive XFX GeForce GTX 280 XXX (670Mhz/1458Mhz/2500Mhz) to be released.
