Insane New Series of GFX!! [Posted on 2008-06-27]
If you thought Geforce 9 series was great, you haven't seen anything yet! This beast has:
1 GB of memory
602 MHz Core Clock Speed
2214 Memory Clock Speed
141.69 GB/sec Memory bandwidth
(also keep in mind that the Playstation 3
has a memory bandwidth up to 48 GB/sec!)
1298 MHz Shader Clock speed
So not only is it faster than the PS3 or 360, but it's faster than anything else! (except the GTX280 HC liquid-cooled cards). Also, since Nvidia bought AGEIA (the company known for making PhysX cards), This new series of cards implements the technology of AGEIA's Physics processing into these cards. Making the ultimate all-in-one package.
The only way to mimic this same card is to get a Geforce 9800 GX2 with an old AGEIA PhysX card, may be cheaper to get the 2 cards seperately, but it may be better altogether to get this all-in-one package!
GAMERS, VIDEO EDITORS, GAME CREATORS! THE TRUE NEXT GENERATION HAS ARRIVED!!
Excellent video card for a single card solution. [Posted on 2008-09-05]
A very expensive video card, and a good choice if you only want a single card solution. Depending on the resolution you choose to use will determine the overall or perceived performance. I have tested this card with the 3007 HC 30" monitor from Dell and it performed very well, at these resolutions you will not be able to set all settings on high without performance loss. I play a lot of online shooters and am mainly concerned with view distance and frame rate. I generally force 8x anisotropic filtering for better view distance and clarity, while turning special effects such as smoke, heavy shadows, lighting effects and motion blur off to maintain frame rate. For a 60Hz monitor a 120-125 frames per second is ideal when combined with a 2000 dpi mouse (or higher) set to 1000Hz (reports per second). The result will be butter smooth motion and extreme head shot value. I currently run this card on a Sceptre 37" 1080p monitor (HDTV) through DVI to HDMI at 1920x1080 @ 60Hz. Excellent results, I previously was running an 8800GTX, which is powerful in its own right; but I do have to concede the additional performance is certainly noticeable and welcome.
if you ganna buy GTX280 [Posted on 2008-10-22]
it's a great choice, but i stongly recommend a good full tower case with perfect air flow, otherwise don't bother your self. All these new graphic cards are hot, so prepare your case.
