NVIDIA BFG GTX 295 Review (Part 1)




Welcome folks! Here is my BFG GTX 295 Review that I'm proud to show, This is only Part 1, with Part 2 coming in the next few days.. This may seem odd, But I lost some pictures in a hard drive crash and need to re-test. But I didn't want to keep people waiting that wanted to see this. So enjoy!

*Due to Blogger being the way it is, My Review is hosted on Google Docs.. Made easy to view, Just click this-> CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW PART 1*

Here is a small intro from my review, Read the rest on the above link!

Welcome to another Smokin-Tech computer hardware review, Today on our bench table we have the brand new GTX 295 from Nvidia. With Nvidia newest graphics card to hit the market, the GTX 295 packs a powerful punch over ATi fastest GPU they ever made, the 4870X2 GPU, with two 4870's slapped together to bring a bunch. Step aside ATI, as we review today the BFG GTX 295 as it will take the top crown of the Crysis charts, and provide extreme FPS to gamers looking for the highest FPS possible! This will be Nvidia call to the ATi 4870X2 which was the previous king with Crysis, now the GTX 295 stands tall and proud of what it can show with its intense power under the hood.

*NEW* Personal Best OC




Sup, Just did my new personal best OC for 3DMarkVantage for my BFG GTX 295. Thought I would share and spread the love of the massive G T X 295! This test proves right here, the GTX 295 is faster than a pair of eVGA GTX 260s that were running in SLi at FTW speeds.

My OC for this run, 667/1560/1220

Leading to a 20,0035 GPU score!
