XFX GeForce GTX 280 1GB XXX

Zitat

The XFX GeForce GTX 280 1GB XXX has proven itself to be the fastest single card on the market at present. It ran flawlessly at its factory overclocked speeds of 670/1458/1250 without problems. Power consumption was just a little more than a reference GeForce GTX 280, coming in at a peak of 410W from the readout of our wall socket power meter. Temperatures were also kept in check, with the card idling at 46ºC and peaking at 79ºC during our load test. The XFX card's fan behaviour was similiar and not any louder compared to the reference GeForce GTX 280.

For enthusiasts who find that the card still isn't fast enough, there is still some headroom for overclocking, which by doing so, can rival a CrossFired ATI Radeon HD 4870 setup. As a general rule-of-thumb, make sure you have good cooling to ensure stable operation.

If you're wondering, the XFX XXX card retails at US$519.99. In contrast, the Standard version of the XFX card goes for US$449.99. If you just need to have the fastest card, the XFX GeForce GTX 280 1GB XXX is the answer. Otherwise, it might not be a bad choice to save US$70 and opt for the Standard version.

The VR-Zone Performance Award is presented to the XFX GeForce GTX 280 1GB XXX for being the best performing card. Not only is it clocked reasonably quicker than stock, it offers good overclockin' potential. Unfortunately, no doubt this card is fast, we are giving it an 82 only as the price is not very attractive.
