GT200 Review: Benchmarks of overclocked MSI and Zotac GTX 280 graphics cards.

Today's samples are delivered by MSI and Zotac. Both companies offer overclocked GTX 280s, which run with 702/1,400/1,150 MHz. In theory this should allow for a performance boost of 5 to 15 percent. The candidates:

- MSI N280GTX-T2D1G-OC
- Zotac Geforce GTX 280 Amp-Edition

The announced Asus ENGTX280 TOP/HTDP/1G is still missing. It got a core clock of "only” 670 MHz but the shaders run at 1,460 MHz.

GTX 280 OC: Performance and Conclusion
Our Extrem FSAA Benchmarks already showed that the GTX 280 is really responsive to increased clock speeds. The slightly more decent tuning of the manufacturers results - depending on game and settings - in a performance boost of about 10 percent. If you overclock a card yourself anyway, you don't need to pay the higher price.
