Hi all,

We have just published a review of Pre-Overclocked Nvidia GeForce GTX
280 and 260. If you could post a link on your site that would be very
much appreciated.

*Quote: *Claiming performance increases of up to 12 percent, we decided
to put these warranty covered overclocks to the test, and see just how
much extra performance you get by paying extra for that bit more juice.

Today we'll be looking at a three cards; from BFG its /GeForce GTX 280
*OCX*/, from Asus its /GeForce GTX 280 *Top*/ and from Zotac its
/GeForce GTX 260 *Amp!*/. All the cards involved utilise reference
Nvidia reference coolers, but come with their core, shader, and memory
clock speeds significantly increased over and above the reference
versions. We'll be running them through the same field of real world
gameplay tests, and trying to ascertain if paying for a pre-overclocked
card is really worth the extra cash involved.

*Cheers guys!
