Galaxy GeForce GTX 285 2GB Tri-Fan Review
April 20, 2009 by Cabro · Leave a Comment
It’s good to see that not long after the launch of a new high-end product a company has come out and mixed it up a bit. While it’s not uncommon for us to see higher end ATI cards make this transition quickly, it seems that NVIDIA partners tend to take longer or sometimes not even bother at all.
Of course, it doesn’t help with the obscure PCB design on some of their cards like the GTX 295; fingers crossed that the rumors of a new single PCB dual GPU card is true.
We’re not here to talk about that today, however. What we have with us is a GTX 285 which in the looks department manages to stand out from the pack. If that wasn’t enough, Galaxy thought they would also take the time to strap on 2GB of memory.
In our normal style, before we get into the card and find out exactly what Galaxy has done, we’ll have a quick look at the package and bundle to see if there’s anything that stands out there first.

It hasn’t taken long for NVIDIA partners to start spicing up the GTX 275. Come launch day we already saw that Gainward had opted for aftermarket cooling. Galaxy has kicked up a notch, though; this not only by including a pretty mean cooling setup on the card, but also taking the time to increase the core and memory clock.
While the card was designed to compete directly against the HD 4890, what we’re seeing is that in the retail channel the GTX 275 is slightly more expensive. While this might be a bad thing considering the fact that the GTX 275 is designed to compete head to head with the HD 4890, it isn’t really, as that little bit of extra cost carries with it that little bit of extra performance.
Today we’ll see if Galaxy can make the gap between the HD 4890 and GTX 275 even larger with the help of an increase in clock speeds. So, let’s have a quick look at the package before we take a closer look at the card along with its cooler and clock speeds.
Galaxy Launched GTX 275 OC Edition with Digital PWM

What makes Galaxy different from the rest is that this card is self designed using digital PWM combining digital MOSFET, DRIVER chips and digital integrated inductance(L) and lots of MLCC. As a result, its efficiency reaches 80%. The card is also equiped with Arctic Cooling Extreme Cooler that comes with 3 fans and 5 heatpipes. It has Dual BIOS design and is bundled with Xtreme Tuner software for BIOS recovery, fan speed, and the overclock settings.

Recently, Galaxy released a nice Low Power, Low Profile 9600GT card and now they are continuing the green trend by rolling out a low power 9800GT card. There are 2 versions, 1GB and 512MB and best of all, they don’t need extra 6-pin power connector.
GALAXY GeForce 9800GT Low Power series are based on 55nm G92-283-B1 GPU core , 112 stream processors, 1 GB and 512MB of high-speed GDDR3 memory across a 256-bit wide memory bus. Its clock speed is 550/900MHz (core/memory). The card has DVI ,VGA and native HDMI outputs for different needs.

We have had this out-of-the-box overclocked 9500GT for a while now, over 7 months to be more precise, but every time we thought of overclocking this card something came in between. Last weekend, however, we did find the time to work on this little overclocking article!

Galaxy GeForce GTX 285 Overclocked Graphics Card
March 6, 2009 by Cabro · Leave a Comment
Just the other day we looked at the GTS 250 from Galaxy. But today we’re looking at something a bit more higher up in the market, NVIDIA’s number two card and the fastest single GPU graphics card on the market; the GTX 285. Galaxy has taken the time to get a bit down and dirty with the card and squeeze some extra MHz out of it. We’re going to find out just how these extra MHz affect overall performance when compared to a card that follows the reference clock speeds. Before we get into that, though, we’re going to take the time to have a closer look at the package and see what Galaxy has included inside. From there we will have a closer look at the card and and the clock rates Galaxy has chosen to use.
