EVGA GeForce GTX 275 Superclocked (NCIX Tech Tips #39)

Welcome to NC Tech Tips: Unpacking the GTX 275 Super Clocked from EVGA

As we take a closer look at the GTX 275 super clocked from EVGA, it's clear that this card is packed with features and capabilities that make it an attractive option for gamers and enthusiasts alike. But before we dive into the details, let's talk about why the GTX 275 is positioned between the 285 and the 260 on our whiteboard. The positioning of this card is a bit confusing at first glance, but as we break it down, you'll see that it's actually quite interesting.

So, where exactly does the GTX 275 sit in relation to its peers? Well, when it comes to clock speed, the 285 has a higher clocked memory, which means it interfaces with its memory faster. However, the GTX 275 makes up for this by having higher clocked memory itself. It also has fewer ROPs (Render Output Units) but still boasts the same number of Stream Processors as its competitor.

But what about the 260? Ah, yes, the 260 is a special case because it's actually higher clocked than the GTX 275! Despite this, they have the same amount of memory – 896 MB in the case of the GTX 275. So, while the 260 may be clocked slightly faster, it's hard to say which one comes out on top.

Now, let's talk about the GTX 295, a dual GPU card that's essentially two GTX 275s with lower clocks but double the feature set. This means that if you're looking for a card that offers similar performance to the GTX 275 but with even more features, the GTX 295 is definitely worth considering.

But what about actual performance and specifications? Well, first of all, the GTX 275 performs incredibly well compared to its price partner, the ATI Radeon 4890. In fact, it outperforms the 4890 especially at high resolutions. One big advantage that the GTX 275 has over its competitor is its much lower idle power consumption. This means that when you're not actively using your video card – like reading emails or browsing the web – the GTX 275 will consume significantly less power than the 4890.

The GTX 275 also comes with a range of connectivity options, including two dual link DVI connectors, two SLI connectors for support with SLI and TriSLI, and two PCIe six pin power connectors. This means that you'll need to ensure your power supply can handle the extra power required by this card before installation.

In terms of features, the GTX 275 has a 16x PCIe interface, which is pretty much all you need for most users. And let's be honest – it's not like there are many video cards on the market that offer more features than this one! So, what makes the GTX 275 such a great performer at a great price? Well, that's up to you to decide.

But before we wrap things up, we need to talk about two important technologies: Cuda and physics. As it turns out, the GTX 275 does include support for Cuda – which means that it can handle GPU physics calculations with ease. This is a big deal, especially for gamers who want to get the most out of their hardware.

And that's all for today's article on the GTX 275 super clocked from EVGA. We hope you learned something new and interesting about this card, and we'll catch you in the next article!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome to NC Tech tips today we have the GTX 275 super clocked from EVGA it features red also 896 megab of memory and a new variation of the gt200 chip from Nvidia so stay tuned we'll tell you more about this card now you might think to yourself This is an awfully wide shot for such a small product what's all that Big Empty blue space over there well to best explain the GTX 275 896 MB video card and its positioning we will be employing a teaching Aid today the ttwb OR tech tips whiteboard so the 275 is right here positioned between the 285 and the 260 you can see that it is clocked lower it has a lower memory bust so that means it interfaces with the memory slower however it has higher clocked memory it has fewer rops but it has the same number of stream processors so that's how it compares to the 285 now the 260 216 it is higher clocked it has the same number of oh it has the same memory bus sorry it has the same more SPS you can see how confusing this is it has a higher memory clock but it has actually the same amount of memory so that's 896 Megs whereas the 285 is a 1 gig card now the 295 is a special situation because it is a dual GPU card so it has has lower clocks on both the GPU and the ram however it's pretty much exactly double the 275 in every other way in the feature set so that means it's basically two 275 slightly lower clocks but there's two of them so that's pretty much it so let's get down to the details what are the actual performance and specifications of this card well first of all it performs very well compared to its uh price partner the ATI Radeon 4890 it does come away from the 4890 especially at high resolutions and one big Advantage it has is much lower idle power consumption that means that whenever you're at your desktop reading emails doing anything that doesn't use your video card the GTX 275 will produce Le or will consume less power now you've also got your two dual link DVI connectors you've got two SLI connectors that means you got support for SLI as well as Tri SLI should you desire it you've got two pcie six pin power connectors so that means you got to make sure you've got those on your power supply before you try to install this card a 16x pcie interface and I think that pretty much does it for features on this card it's a great performer at a great price and uh I think we can almost wrap this thing up here so uh oh hold on this just in uh I think there might be something we didn't mention here but okay anyway thank you for okay okay okay fine so as you can see here we've got a a note we ought to talk talk about Cuda and physics so the GTX 275 does include support for Cuda that means bada boom a couple other applications as well as GPU physics calculations thank you for watching ncx Tech tipswelcome to NC Tech tips today we have the GTX 275 super clocked from EVGA it features red also 896 megab of memory and a new variation of the gt200
