*/BFG Tech has ticked most of the boxes on our checklist with its
GeForce GTX 285 OCX graphics card - its clock speed increases are
impressive, there's still headroom for overclocking, performance is
excellent, the after sales service has a proven track record and it's
the fastest single GPU graphics card we've ever tested. But all of this
comes at a price and sadly that cost is just too much when you look at
the wider market in the UK.

There are still a bunch of bargain GeForce GTX 280s on the market and if
I were you, I'd snap one of those up while I can. Following that, your
next best bet is the Radeon HD 4850 X2, but be wary of its fan noise -
it's not offensively loud with the latest BIOS, but it's not anywhere
near as quiet as the Nvidia competition. Moreover, the Radeon HD 4850 X2
has potential limitations that stem from its dual-GPUness and many don't
want to swallow that pill - it's also not going to set the world on fire
in Folding ( -at -) Home. Typically, Nvidia's cards can deliver more points per
day and so they're better suited to that task.

The market has shifted and Nvidia needs to lower the prices of its
GeForce GTX 285 GPUs so that partners can compete with the competition
that's out there from AMD. At the moment, most of the GeForce GTX 285s
are competing against the Radeon HD 4870 X2 and I think we all know who
wins that battle./
