Nvidia is confusing me.

I thought I had it down. What is the difference between the 275 and 285/280?

eidairaman1 · Apr 5, 2009, 03:03 AM

285 is a minor revision of the 280, 275 was just a panic release by NV to compete with the 4890 in price/performance, and whats weird is 2 4890s in crossfire compete with the 295 and the 295 is basically 2 boards with a bridge chip.

N4cot1c · Apr 5, 2009, 03:04 AM

SO the 275 is what exactly. Tech specs wise.

Binge · Apr 5, 2009, 03:04 AM

275 is a GTX260 55nm with 240 shader cores unlocked.

N4cot1c · Apr 5, 2009, 03:13 AM

ok thanks

How does this pair up against a 285?

about 5-10% slower...good buy though

eidairaman1 · Apr 5, 2009, 03:15 AM

all depends on what your upgrading from and how much Cash your willing to spend.

N4cot1c · Apr 5, 2009, 03:17 AM

4870 and im just about done with my i7. Just have to get my WC up and running and i'm waiting for my chip to come in.

Look, before asking time-wasting questions, why don't you just do a little tiny bit of research?

TPU (among all the other hardware sites) has just reviewed the 275 right here and includes all the tech specs that you could wish for on that card and the others you're wondering about. Heck, the review is still on the TPU home page at the top

Some people like a short and sweet answer, with little legwork involved. Unfortunately, lazy people upgrade their PCs too.

Performance-wise at stock speeds (slowest to fastest)
260 -> 275 = 280 -> 285

Yeah, how true lol.

I really like my new Zotac GTX 285.

It really beats the pants off my 4870 512MB at very high settings, as I said on a recent thread. It even came with a copy of Race Driver: GRID, which I've been wanting. My 4870 is going on eBay...

But half of the fun is reading up on how these cards perform, I love looking at performance charts, infatuated in fact
