What do u think of the nvidia gtx 275?

[jonny321321]

I mean i was gonna go for the gtx 260 but then i saw an asus gtx 275 on ebuyer for only £35 more (including free batman asylum and 3d discover glasses). The reason i went for this is because my discontiued graphics card 9800gt (xfx overclocked version) went bad just before the warranty ended (phew, it was only one year :eek i sent it back and they said they would give me back all the money i paid for it originally (YES :D), i wanted a new graphics card anyway so this was great because i could use the money from the old broken discontiueed graphics card to get a newer one!
Do you think gtx 275 is a good card? And also with graphics cards when overclocking what makes it unstable on some pcs and on others not (so say some person had got there graphics card to 750 core clock or somin and someone else tried that and it was not stable on there machine whats the variable that effects that and makes it not stable) Cheers lol its a bit hard to explain what i mean but i hope you got that !

um...... the gtx 275 isn't a good card compared to ati's new 5800 line..... plus it won't have dx11 support.... if i was you i'd be gettin a 5870 or 5770.....

yeah but im on a tight budget ^^
lol to play nowaday games not games in three years time!

well a 5770 is still cheaper than the gtx you were talking about its only £136.85

[thepizzaman]

even better if you could find a 5850.....

I thank you for showing me this but the 5770 performs similarly to a 4870, a GTX275 performs similarly to a 4890. The 5770 may get improved performance through driver improvements but in DX10 games the GTX275 will likely remain better. The hd 5850 is better than both yet it is £200 which some gtx 275 are priced, but i got a really good deal for £155 . Thanks and its a series ill look out for next year as it has dx 11 which when i upgrade to windows 7 i will enjoy! Thanks :D

 

[thepizzaman]

at that point though a couple of 5750's on cf would be good also...
but ok haha good luck
