Inno3D GeForce GTX 275 OC Graphics Card Review
May 21, 2009 by Cabro · Leave a Comment
The funny thing about the GTX 275 is that it does kill a bit of the value for the GTX 285, which ultimately means that it’s not the best model for NVIDIA. For the user, however, it’s a different story. What you’re able to get is performance similar to the GTX 285 without having to spend GTX 285 money.
Today we’re going to be looking at a GTX 275 from Inno3D which has that lovely overclocked word printed on the front of the box. What we’ll do before we have a closer look at the card and its performance is see what Inno3D have done with the package and bundle.
Let’s not delay any longer and get straight into it and see if Inno3D are able to make a GTX 275 which stands out from the pack. Considering we’ve seen a few it’s going to be a tough fight, but hopefully there’s something that helps the card stand out.

GeForce GTX 275 shootout BFG | Inno3D | Palit | Sparkle
April 20, 2009 by Cabro · Leave a Comment
A week or two ago NVIDIA announced it’s latest graphics card positioned in the high-end region, called the GeForce GTX 275. The GeForce GTX 275 is a bit of a hybrid card in-between the GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 285.
The card is positioned directly against the new ATI Radeon HD 4890, yet is slightly cheaper. NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTX 275 in an allergic reaction to team red’s product to show and flex their rendering muscle. Now I know that some of you guys might frown a little about this GTX 275 release, but trust me when I say, this is a really interesting move.
The GeForce GTX 275 has the very same graphics processor as that GTX 285, yet the memory configuration of the GTX 260 (896 MB). Fitted on a new PCB and armed with a dandy cooler NVIDIA did another thing, they lowered prices significantly.
The GTX 275 is a card that is being introduced at a 239~249 USD price level. And though features and performance wise the product is not exactly the reinvention of the wheel, it definitely is a massive load of performance at a very fair price. At the time of writing this article it’s two weeks after the launch and the first retail products are now hitting the stores in reasonable volume.
As such we figured to cease the moment and show you a couple of retail boards. For this article, a total of five GeForce GTX 275 graphics cards will be put to the test. We take the NVIDIA reference sample, two reference clocked products and two pre-overclocked products to see where we are at in terms of performance, cooling and features among the difference AIB/AIC partners.
We’ll take the BFG GTX 275 OC edition, the Inno3D Overclock editions GTX 275, the Palit GTX 275 with custom cooling and the all reference based yet blue’ish colored GeForce GTX 275 from Sparkle.
We’ll compare each AIB card at it’s default clocks and compare it to the reference model. Of course, you are on guru3D.com .. we’ll also overclock all cards tested today to investigate and observe what the limit of each product really is. First we start off with a quick introduction of the GTX 275, the differences, the new, and the not so new ….
Inno3D Geforce GTX 275 Overclock Edition
April 13, 2009 by Cabro · Leave a Comment
Today we are taking a look at a new graphics card from Inno3D that is designed to deliver high-end performance at an affordable price tag. Based on the GeForce GTX 275 reference design, this new Inno3D product features overclocked core and memory frequencies for even greater performance…
Recently two new graphics cards arrived targeting the $250 US price range called the Radeon HD 4890 and GeForce GTX 275. Initially we were only anticipating the arrival of a new ATI graphics card, though it would have been unlike Nvidia to sit by and watch. As luck would have it, coming up with a counter for the Radeon HD 4890 did not take long, as the GPU that powers the new GeForce GTX 275 has been out and about for some time now.
Despite what some might try to tell you, the Radeon HD 4890 is merely an overclocked Radeon HD 4870 and therefore it is only slightly faster. This means that in most cases the Radeon HD 4870 is faster than the GeForce GTX 260, while it is slower than the GeForce GTX 285, and it is priced to sit between these two graphics cards.
In fact, Nvidia had quite a large pricing discrepancy between these two graphics cards, with the GeForce GTX 260 priced at around $180 US while the GeForce GTX 285 cost $350 US. Since the new Radeon HD 4890 was targeting the $250 US price range, it made sense for Nvidia to follow with the GeForce GTX 275. While the Radeon HD 4890 is just an overclocked Radeon HD 4870, the GeForce GTX 275 is a single GPU version of the GeForce GTX 295.
The GPU’s featured on the GeForce GTX 295 were unique and we often referred to them as being a GeForce GTX 280/260 hybrid. This is because the GPU’s featured a similar core configuration to that of the GeForce GTX 280, while the core and memory clock speeds matched the GeForce GTX 260. This meant that a single GPU version of the GeForce GTX 295 would perform somewhere in-between these two graphics cards, and this was an ideal level of performance for a Radeon HD 4890 counter.
Availability of these new graphics cards is already very good, and it is possible to purchase a GeForce GTX 275 for $260 US, while the Radeon HD 4890 is coming in slightly cheaper at $250 US. Although all current products based on these new GPU’s are simply reference boards with a company logo slapped on the heatsink, Inno3D has at least tried to make their example a little more attractive, by carrying out a little factory overclocking while also including two free full version games as well.
Inno3D GeForce 9600GT iChill Hurricane Review
June 10, 2008 by Cabro · Leave a Comment
The iChill is one series of cards that I’ve really liked from the word go. Inno3D’s attention to detail by using only the best quality coolers and a good line-up of cards make this series really stand out when compared to what’s on offer from other companies.
Even so, the latest entry into the iChill series did carry with it a bit of a surprise upon opening up the box. What was that surprise? – Well, there’s only one way to figure that out, and that is to read on.
Let’s have a quick look at the box before we dive deeper and find out why the Inno3D 9600GT had us working a little harder than usual to get the card up and running.
Inno3D iChiLL 9800 GTX Accelero Xtreme Review
June 2, 2008 by Cabro · Leave a Comment
Early last month Nvidia released the GeForce 9800 GTX which today stands as the fastest single GPU graphics card money can buy.
With an average retail price of $300-350, the GeForce 9800 GTX may not have been revolutionary in terms of performance, but it’s still a reasonably good value solution for those willing to spend a bit more. However, after almost sixty days of its release and with an eventual appearance of next-generation cards from both ATI and Nvidia, few manufacturers seem to be making pronounced efforts on modifying or improving the original Nvidia reference design.
