 BFG GeForce GTX 280 OC edition review

Info: BFG Technology

BFG GeForce GTX 280 OC edition - GeForce GTX 200 SeriesTeam green, NVIDIA, released their new flagship product to the market, a 1400 million transistor counting piece of merchandise that raises the bar of single-GPU graphics processing. Of course that's just not enough for some manufacturers. So BFG figured, hey for the same launch price we can introduce a slightly overclocked version, fire off a life-time warranty at it and slap an OC label on there.

And so they did, today a review on BFG's GeForce GTX 280 1024MB OC edition. It had to go something like this; the minute BFG finished designing this product they got all giddily and figure .. ooh we gotta send Hilbert one ! Yeah it's not busy, we can manage another review ;)

So a couple of days ago, prior to the actual GTX 200 series product launch, we received that OC model from BFG. And guys .. it surely does impress. Now then, please understand that this article will not go through the in-depth paces as our reference review, so we'll stick a bit more to the basics. You guys learned from that reference review that with the help of CUDA there's a lot more to the modern day graphics cards than gaming. Yet for this review we will shift over to the purpose you'll actually buy this product for ... gaming.

And gaming is just so much fun with a card of this caliber. So over the next few pages, a brief into to the GeForce GTX 280, the BFG bundle and a little chat about warranty, a comparative test between the reference clocked models and this OC version and obviously .. the man, the plan, the one and only .. the verdict.

But first a quick peek at the product we are reviewing today.
