Are these this cheap due to something new coming out?

rick fowler · 5 Jun 2009 at 19:43

im in hte market for a new card and i was getting this one

OcUK Value GeForce GTX 275 896MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=GX-116-OK

if i was to up the anti to this card would i see any difference apart from the £124 extra and if it worth it how future proof is it as not looking to replace for a while allso will this fit into a Antec Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case asus p5q pro and my power supply is a Corsair HX 620W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-620HXUK)

One of the greatest offers so far! Anyone who has this card (asus) could please reply if he has experience the famous coil noise?

rick fowler · 5 Jun 2009 at 20:01

seems to be a bargain i might just go for it but i need to know if it will be ok in my pc first.

mogwai · 5 Jun 2009 at 20:08

I have a gtx 280 with the p5q deluxe mobo. It does fit but practically touches the southbridge cooler and the vertical sata ports. I am not sure about your case. What is your current card?

rick fowler · 5 Jun 2009 at 20:09

my current card is a ati his hd4850

straxusii · 5 Jun 2009 at 20:11

You can smell the 5870 around the corner cant you

Antx777 · 5 Jun 2009 at 21:14

Will two of these run on a 850 watt PSU (OCZ-Gamestream). I already have GTX8800 in SLI, and run fine, but heard/read these GPU's run at lower wattage than the GTX 280's? (183 watts for these, versus 235 watts for the 280's,)
Not sure the wattage of a GTX8800 is by comparison....

Cheers

I would also like to know how common this is with the 285s?

Should just about fit in the 300, dependent on where your drives are mounted.

Not here.

my 285 has very quiet squeal (didn't realize it till my side was off one day) during loads only, not anything to throw a fit about.

shrek2 · 6 Jun 2009 at 01:07

Should I get this or save £65 and get the Asus Hd 4890? The reason I ask is my last experience with Ati drivers were a bit rubbish.

I notice it in game menu screens, a slight squeal, not in game or any other app. No big deal, in fact pretty sure my 4850 did it on menu screens too.

I would go for the gtx, if I could afford it; I think. Does your mobo support sli or crossfire? Might help the decision?
One thing I have noticed is with overclocking on my 4850 and 285, where as the ATI drivers would crash the whole system needing a restart due to too high an overclock, the Nvidia drivers seem a lot better at recovery and only crash the game/benchmark. Small point I know.

Neither. Its a p5K. So when are Nvidia releasing new cards then? I need to play the sims and cod badly.

Even though this is a fantastic price for the card, when you can get a overclocked (out of the box) GTX core 216 for £90 less it does make it a hard card to reccommend.
