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.
Increasing Voltages & Extreme OC HD 4890 Using RivaTuner

This may not be new to some out there but at least it is for a few others and I.
I bought an MSI HD4890/1GB recently and was really excited when I found that my card could do about 980~1000mhz on the core for benchmarks. Its actual stability was around 970~980mhz
It was really cool but I wanted more.(Well, who wouldn’t?)
The thing is, the max available limit on CCC (Catalyst Control Center) was also 1000mhz.
Some days back, Guru3d.com released an overclocking article on the HD4890 over here.

They also provided the 4890 config file for Riva Tuner.

Great, so now I can use RivaTuner to adjust the limits above 1000mhz on the GPU core.
But there are are cards that don’t even hit 950mhz stable at all. We just need a slight bump in voltage to stablise that.
Galaxy Launched GTX 275 OC Edition with Digital PWM
April 5, 2009 by Cabro · Leave a Comment
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.
