XFX GTX 280 XXX Edition Review

More than just a graphics card, the factory overclocked XFX GTX 280 XXX Edition features NVIDIA’s top end GeForce GTX280 with support for technologies such as PhysX, CUDA and an upgraded version of PureVideo. Raw pixel-pushing power will no longer be the deciding factor when it comes to choosing your graphics cards:

What can I say… the parallel processing and PhysX on the GPU are the things that make this product so great. Yes, it is a fast card when it comes to graphics but the real revolution is somewhere else. It is easy to see how for example Folding@home, video transcoding, medical imaging and even playing with Photoshop can benefit from this move from NVIDIA. I believe we are seeing the greatest change in computer technology for years. We now have taken the sound and graphics away from the CPU and now we are finally taking away the raw calculations too?

XFX made a great product even better by stepping up the clock speeds. They do offer the same card with three different variations - Standard, XT and XXX. They also have the slightly slower GTX 260 available but when it comes to need for power, the choice is clear.
