I will try to update with the figures after I have finished overclocking if possible. All tests were conducted with the gtx 280 at stock clocks (will be overclocking next ) so there is still some potential of extra performance and so far I would say the performance will probably the same if not slightly higher than with my 8800 gtx sli setup. Overall I am happy with the change as the difference is hardly noticable and even though the max and average fps seems to be a bit lower at certain places the min is almost always higher with a gtx 280 in comparison to 8800 GTX Sli on my system, in my opinion the minimum fps is what really counts most of the time. Tested using fraps with a run through Anvil.Īll tests looped 3 times in 64-bit mode, time of day 9.ġ600x1200, 2x AA, all high settings, dx10ġ600x1200, 4x AA, all high settings, dx10Īlso one Crysis test conducted in dx9 mode: I was also able to further overclock the GTX 280 to 715/1430/1550, I feel the core can do more but presently it is not possible to go any further with the shaders unlinked.Īll tests were run in Vista 圆4 using forceware 177.41 and all in dx10 mode for games that support dx10 with the exception of one test in crysis. The GTX 280 was run at default clocks of 600/1300/1100. I also did a few benchmarks to further evaluate that decision in terms of performance, I kept the 8800 GTX at a clock rate of 600/1450/1950 which falls roughly in between 8800 GTX and 8800 Ultra in terms of performance. EVGA NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 280 SSC SERIESWell after taking into consideration factors like how quickly the 8800/9800 series is losing market resale value, the heat and power used in sli and the possibility of furthering improving performance in the future with gtx 280 sli I decided to go for it. granted sometimes there is just a bad card in the bunch.Like myself quite a few people are in the position where we own 2 of the last generation's higher end cards such as the 8800 GTX/Ultra or 9800 GTX in sli and are unsure as to whether it would be wise to move to the new series' high end GTX 280 and what sort of performance hit can we expect. ive played a few games on this card and havent got the temp on this card high enough to shut it down. i play games like crysis\warhead, EVE online, farcry 2, call of duty 4\5, and a few other games. Overall Review: i am running 1000 watt psu, q9450 3.2ghz(liquid cooled), 1066ddr2, x38 chipset (hence y i am using the 280, had to rma my 780i which makes the gx2 useless at this point in time), 2x150 WD raptors (10,000 rpms). ![]() you dont need water cooling for this or any part of your setup, just leave room for airflow in the case. EVGA NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 280 SSC INSTALLjust make sure if your buying this card, that you have the space to install it. ![]() in a mid tower case its an extremely tight fit, and if you crowd with other cards like a sound cord, and cables, it will cause air flow problems and cause it to over heat. This is a very long card, 11 inches or so. its too close to say which one is truly better. EVGA NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 280 SSC UPGRADEthen the 280 does better on some games such as the 24" monitor can handle.īasically all im saying is, if you have a GX2 then keep it, dont upgrade to the 280. the gx2 does well on some games at higher resolutions like your 30" monitors can handle. even though its the latest from nvidia i also own the GX2, on a proper setup the cards contend with each other for who is the best and the fastest. you see all these bad reviews about the card being too hot, get your case out of the corner and make sure the case has good air flow and that the card isnt cramped in the case.Ĭons: high price for just a single gpu card. well made card the block keeps it nice and cool. lowering the settings to gamer i get about 60. on games like crysis warhead with the settings to max/enthusiast, i get 20-30 frames with SMOOTH game play. I own this and the GX2 and with MY current setup this card runs better on the games i play then my GX2. superclocked, gives it a little more bang. its very fast and so far i havent had any heat issues with it.
