BFG GTX 260 896MB Video Card Review

Topic:

Hardware Canucks published a review of the BFG GTX 260 896MB video card.

Quote from the review: "Both the GTX 260 and the GTX 280 were launched a little over a month ago and while the higher end 280 was available immediately at launch, the less expensive 260 was greeted with a paper launch. Since that time, Nvidia seemed to have been surprised by ATI's launch of the HD4800-series of cards which turned out to be extremely successful and performed above what many expected them to.

I4U Review Round-up: XFX GTX 280, Logitech GT Wheel, BFG 9600 OCX

Topic:

Last week we reviewed new hardware gear including the freshly announced NVIDIA GTX 280 card. Shane took a look at the XFX GTX 280 that runs at stock clock speeds. This video card now sits at the top of the performance hierarchy in the NVIDIA line.
His verdict is: "The new XFX GTX 280 is a fantastic performer and bests all but a few of the highest overclocked 9800 GX2 cards at stock GTX 280 clock speeds. XFX also bundles the card with the game Assassin’s Creed for some gaming action right out of the box. Overclocked versions of the XFX GTX 280 are coming soon and will bring even more performance. The XFX GTX 280 is an awesome high-end video card for those with the budget." Read the full XFX GTX 280 Review.
