*Official* GTX 275 Thread

[Lyric]

I searched before posting, couldn't find another thread dedicated for this card.

Anyway, I stepped up my GTX-260 55nm to a EVGA GTX-275 896MB, the upgrade was absolutely worth it. I averaged 9,000 PPD on most WU's with this card, which I couldn't even get close to with my GTX-260. The step-up costed me $30 including shipping.

Here are my PPD Benchmarks:
Stock: 648/1458/1188
Overclocked: 720 Core / 1584 Shaders / 1215 Memory (2430 effectively)
Driver version: 182.50


353pt: 9531.00 PPD
384pt: 7899.43 PPD
420pt: N/A - will edit post when/if I get one of these.
472pt: 9709.71 PPD
511pt: 6898.50 PPD
768pt: 7806.49 PPD
1888pt: 9652.26 PPD

------------------------------
also I gained 2,000 points in vantage over my old GTX-260, I scored P15020 with Physx enabled (GTX-275 @ 720/1584/1215, my old GTX-260 score was P13,xxx @ 720/1440/1107.

Also I seemed to have scored a Superclocked edition card, but it came in a vanilla labeled box. The same happened with my GTX-260 previously...I guess I just have good luck?

Thought I'd post some useful information about it, if you own this card...feel free to post your stock clocks & overclocking success here as well as PPD, etc.

It's sounds the same as a GTX-260 @ 100% Fan speed, it doesn't bother me at all....all my Antec 902 fans are on Medium, and the GTX-275 at 100%. I sleep in this room as well, computer is about 5ft from my bed.

Cool, was just asking as a 295 sounds like a jet

[GeforceGTS]

I was wondering if there was a thread for these yet

I went cheap and got the Palit 275, pretty happy with it so far. I can fold fine with the shaders at 1674 which is a nice improvement from the 1584 max I could get with my 260.. I havn't tried pushing it far for gaming, I just run 702/1584 which is more than enough for anything really.

When is the 1789 Memory one coming out?

or w/e it is, just not the 896 version

[bitmonx]

The 1792MB version of the GTX275 is available at NCIX for C$379.99.
I almost bought 2 of those yesterday but since NCIX had a sale of the 896MB for C$275.00 I opted for the value.
It saved me over C$200 to get the 896MB. I did some research about the 896MB vs. 1792MB and figuered that it is just not worth spending the extra money.
Now, I am curious what other guys think about if it is worth paying for the 1792MB vers. of the GTX275...... My order is being processed and will ship out tomorrow. I ordered two GTX275 / 896MB.

How do you OC two GTX275 in SLI? Does RIVA Tuner work? What do you use to OC the cards?

[ATME]

Mine arrived a couple of weeks ago. EVGA vanilla. Currently overclocked to 743/1605/1282. I'll be posting my build log hopefully before the week ends.

EVGA Precision allows it, I believe. It's got that option on mine.
