NVIDIA GeForce GTX 200 Series Review Roundup
Driverheaven, Guru3D, and TweakTown have reviewed various NVIDIA GeForce GTX 200-series based graphics cards from Galaxy, MSI, and Sparkle.
Let's see what they had to say:
- Driverheaven: Sparkle 285 GTX 2GB Review:
"Do not discount the Sparkle 2GB 285 GTX - is it the best value 2 gigabyte 285 GTX right now and has a 3 year warranty direct from Sparkle for ease of mind. When you combine the low noise levels, physX support and good overclocking capabilities it is hard to ignore."

- Guru3D: MSI N275GTX Lightning put to the test - The most Ultimate GTX 275 to date?þ:
"From ground up the design of the MSI N275GTX Lightning is absolutely amazing. It is the most dynamic and versatile design GTX 275 we have seen and tested to date. MSI literally thought through everything they could and implemented it. The 10 layer PCB, 10 phase Voltage design, active phase switching which can be monitored with little led lights in the card, voltage monitor points, standard overclock, all new TwinFrz II cooler, nearly 2 GB of memory, wide connectivity in the form of VGA, DVI and even HDMI connectors, the list is nearly endless.
Combine all these things with a very high quality build and you'll quickly realize that this card is among the best of the best in the GTX 275 series. Now I expected the product to be much more expensive and really that's not the case. This 1792 MB version will cost you just under 300 EUR, and sure, that is a premium price difference over the regular GTX 275 alright, but just look at what you are receiving."

- TweakTown: Galaxy GeForce GTX 295 Single PCB Overclocked Graphics Card Review:
"Galaxy has done a good job with its GTX 295 OC video. It's good to see that the company has done more than just re-released the GeForce GTX 295 in its new single PCB design. They've decided to ramp up the core, shader and memory clocks. The good news is that they haven't just decided to give a small bump that isn't really all that significant; they've really given us a good bump in clocks that result in real and tangible performance gains.
Sure the bundle is a bit lacking considering the price, but once you have the GTX 295 OC from Galaxy in your system with the drivers installed, you're not even going to be thinking about what the bundle did or didn't come with when you are busy fragging in quality frames."

- TweakTown: MSI GeForce GTX 260 Lightning Graphics Card Review:
"On to the card itself, clocks are good out of the box. If you want even more power, though, you're going to have to install the AirForce Panel. It was a bit sad to see that the temperatures on the card weren't that much better to the stock GTX 285, but we found ourselves pleasantly surprised when it came to noise levels which were significantly better than both the other cards we have here.
It's nice to see MSI step outside the box. It takes courage to mix it up and we're glad the company has decided to do so. The good news is if you take away the AirForce Panel, you still have a great card on your hands. "
