Good: High performance in contemporary games, Can compete against ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 in resolutions up to 1920x1200, Wide range of supported FSAA modes, Minimal effect of enabled FSAA on performance, Excellent quality of anisotropic filtering, 240 shader pro...
Bad: Questionable efficiency of the cooling system, Performance shift towards TMU and RBE, No DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1 support, Incomplete support of VC1 decoding, No integrated sound core, High noise, No HDvideo player in the software bundle.
Bottomline: Having tested the Zotac GeForce GTX 280 AMP! in all of our benchmarks, we can now answer the question how efficient the overclocking of a GeForce GTX 280 can be.The maximum performance growth shown by the Zotac card is rather small at 10-12%. The avera...
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...
Good: Pre overclocked, Bundled accessories, Excellent performance, Overclocking, Parallel Computing, Physx Capable, F@H, Raw Performance, Lowered Price, TrI SLI Capable, Video Transcoding...
Bad: Fan Loud at 100%...
Bottomline: At this point in time the Zotac GTX280 Amp Edition is the highest performing "Single GPU" video card I have tested. Even the HD4870 1GB model fell short against this card. There were several benchmarks where the 4870 1GB models performance was equal b...
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...
