Abstract: Zotac’s GeForce GTX 280 AMP! Edition has much in common with XFX’s card (also reviewed on ITP.net). Both cards cost in excess of US $700 and both use nVidia’s newly launched GeForce GTX 280 GPU. The commonalities continue further t...
Good: High clock speeds, PhysX and CUDA, good warranty service
Bad: Power hungry, poor overclocker
Bottomline: The retail price for this graphics card is Rs.37,500 and it comes with Zotacs 5-year 1-to-1 swap warranty. When you compare this with the XFX GTX 280 XXX Edition (still Rs.49,000), the Zotac card would be a better option. The Zotac GTX 280 failed t...
Good: Fastest card on the market, Nearperfect video playback, AA, highres, nothing will slow this card down
Bad: Hot, very, very hot, Setting new standards for "lots of power required" Not going to get one for less than six bills, And you can hear it through walls
Bottomline: This card is fast. Its as impressive as G80, King 8800 GTX was when it hit the shelves. And its also controversial, probably more so. While G80 loved electricity, its downright thrifty in hindsight. It was cooled quietly, with surprising overclockin...
Good: Outstanding AA/AF performance from demanding games, Supports DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1, and Shader Model 4, 700 MHz GPU/1400 MHz Shader/1150 MHz RAM, Parallel Compute ability for CUDA applications and GPU physics, Enables NVIDIA HybridPower technology, Un...
Bad: Cooling improvements would be desirable, Large footprint full ATX form factor VGA space, , Expensive enthusiast product, Lacks DisplayPort interface
Bottomline: When Benchmark Reviews tested the GeForce 9800 GX2, the box-like NVIDIA reference design was not incredibly appealing to me. Apparently I just needed to wait for the 9800 GTX design before I would see curves influence an NVIDIA product appearance. Wh...
Good: Fastest card on the planet, Huge performance increase, even over 9800 GTX, Overclocked out of the box, Good overclocking potential, HDMIHDCPAudio, PCIExpress 2.0 support, Hybrid Power supported, Triple SLI support, Game "Race Driver Grid" included, Good a...
Bad: Way too expensive, Expensive!, Too fast for todays games?
Bottomline: With a price of $700 this card will be way too expensive for most of the gamers today. However, there are people that are willing to dish out that amount of cash just to have the latest and greatest. Or even three of them for $2000... But given the die...
Bottomline: So, that’s the GTX 280. There is no doubt that you’re probably left as underwhelmed as myself at the moment. The rumors that the card was going to be 1.5x faster than the 9800 GX2 were clearly un-true, which is disappointing. But at the same t...
Abstract: Nvidias performance crown is still intact with the GTX280, but its not a cheap option. Zotacs overclocked GTX280 is the fastest single core card we have tested to date, but youll need a fully laden wallet to enjoy it. Zotac - GeForce GTX 280 AMP E...
Bottomline: Nvidia’s latest and greatest graphics chip truly is superb, but it is also monstrously big, horribly power-hungry and ludicrously expensive. We’re waiting for GT200b to bring DirectX 10.1 and GDDR 5 support to the party, and the sooner Nvidia...
Bottomline: Geforce GTX 260When two products launch on the same day the lower specification part often gets lost in the excitement of how good or bad the high end model is. The GTX 260 hopefully will not suffer this fate because it is actually a mighty impressive ...
Abstract: Ayant pour coutume de toujours proposer ses cartes graphiques en deux versions, lune standard, lautre overclockée, le constructeur Zotac na pas dérogé à la règle. Pour preuve, cette GTX 280 AMP! Edition censée être LA carte graphique monoprocesseur ...
