Performance Notes

There will probably never be a DX9 or OpenGL game that this card can’t handle. Well, maybe if OpenGL gets a revamp.

Here, things become even more disparate, though, with this GPU setting new highs across most of the board. It’s almost overkill.

Another good review, Max!
I can't wait till you guys test out the GTX 275. If the initial benchies are any indication, the 285 might be Invidia's red-headed stepchild (just a joke here). With the 260's going for bargain prices and the 275 pretty much being equal to the 285 in some games, the folks who have gone out and purchased one of these will want to kick their pooches.
Anyways, can't wait to see you guys bench the 275 against this card. I guess invidia could have sweetened up the initial releases of the 275 to make it look better. But then again, they wouldn't do such a thing, would they?

We've got at least one GTX 275 en route for testing/review, so keep an eye peeled for that. :)
