Gigabyte GTX 275 1792MB Super Overclock Review


Tue 2009-11-03 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Hardware Canucks have posted a review of the specially-binned, enthusiast-oriented Gigabyte GTX 275 1792MB Super Overclock graphics card.

Here's what they had to say:

"Reviewing a product such as the GTX 275 Super Overclock really isn’t easy since it’s one of those cards that could have been a market leader if its release was just timed right. Gigabyte overclocked this thing to unbelievable heights and its performance belittles the GTX 285 again and again. This made its benchmark performance somewhat bittersweet since the Super Overlock is being released unbelievably late.

On the positive side of things, we believe that Gigabyte really does have a winning combination with their Super Overclock series. We were impressed by the first card sporting this moniker –in GTX 260 216 guise- and the follow-up GTX 275 follows closely in its footsteps by delivering suitably stunning performance. One interesting aspect of this card’s parity with the GTX 285 is that it actually consumes less power then its big brother. That additional efficiency would lead us to recommend the GTX 275 Super Overclock over a GTX 285 for a high-end folding rig. The additional memory also comes into effect in some rare scenarios which allows this card to really pull away from both its reference kin and the higher end NVIDIA cards."


Although this is a great card, it was released too late and it is simply too expensive at this point in time when compared to the Radeon HD 5850.
