EVGA GTX 280³
 

Here it is, the EVGA GTX 280. And yes, it is fast, and in some cases a single GTX 280 is faster than Quad SLI!

1GB of framebuffer with a 512bit interface eliminate all the microstutters with the GX2 that were noticeable on WiC and Vantage, just smooth goodness :D

Here is the highest overclock I was able to obtain, nearly a 2600MHz memory clock! Over 165GB/s of memory bandwidth.. wow :headexplode:
Stock: 600/1296/2214
OC: 684/1472/2592

And finally, some Crysis screenshots at 1920x1200 with 4xAA/16xAF everything maxed to the fullest! You can see the framerate and card temperatures in the top left hand of the screenshot. For the first time ever, Crysis is very playable with 4x/16x Very High DX10 settings :D

Don't lie..you had this for months....

Nice ><

Re: EVGA GTX 280³
 

Impressive show piece!

Re: EVGA GTX 280³
 

Nice results jAkUp, especially like the memory clock. This is the most positive 280 review I've seen yet...basically one GTX 280 is close to quad SLI in Crysis and Grid with your config? Seems alot higher then anything else I've seen. Maybe it's that QX9650 power that other reviews seem to be lacking :rolleyes:.

Re: EVGA GTX 280³
 

nice of you to come out of your shell and update your sig with what we know you've had for the past month if not longer :captnkill:

very nice (nana2)

Re: EVGA GTX 280³
 

If his camera's date is correct, almost 3 months.

EDIT: Year is way off. Oops.

Still, *drool*

Re: EVGA GTX 280³
 

Another nice upgrade there Jakup!!


I wonder if you hit the nail on the head Spyke?

Re: EVGA GTX 280³
 

What drivers are you using, jAkUp?

Re: EVGA GTX 280³
 

YOU
LUCKY
SOB

Nice set of cards you've got.

Re: EVGA GTX 280³
 

it takes 3 of these to play crysis decently ??

lol..

harsh man.

there will probably be better looking games out soon enough, which not only
look better but also run better.

while the numbers are impressive it's definitely not worth it!!!!!!!!!

Re: EVGA GTX 280³
 

Ha, Ha, Ha ! I knew it too ! :D

Jacob, awesome rig, as always :thumbsup:

Re: EVGA GTX 280³
