Value and Conclusion

  • According to Inno3D the GTX 275 OC will be available at "approx. $240 USD however it [pricing] might vary according to region".
  • Great performance - beats GTX 285!
  • Overclocked out of the box
  • Additional overclocking potential available
  • Relatively low power consumption
  • Great price (for a high-end card)
  • Cooler blows hot air out of the case
  • Two full game versions included
  • Support for CUDA / PhysX
  • Noisy under load
  • No architectural improvements
Even though there are no fundamental architecture improvements, the Inno3D GTX 275 OC does not disappoint. On average it outperforms the more expensive GeForce GTX 285. If that is still not enough performance for you, you could do some additional overclocking for even more performance. Hardcore overclockers might be a bit disappointed by the use of a non-Volterra voltage regulator which means that there is no software control for the GPU voltage.
The only drawback of this card is that the fan is ramping up to be quite noisy under load. Unfortunately it seems that there is no way around this with the stock cooler since even at this high fan speed the card is running at around 90°C - no room left for optimizations here. Since Inno3D has been working with Arctic Cooling in the past (we reviewed their iChill GTX 260 here) I have high hopes that we will see an iChill GTX 275 soon.
