Introduction

Word on the GT200 has been floating around for a while now, and we’ve seen a number of leaked benchmarks all over the world wide interweb. With the NDA being lifted, it’s time to check out what exactly is going on with the new card.

The particular card we’re looking at today is from ZOTAC and is the AMP! Edition, which as you may have guessed is an overclocked model. Speculation on the GTX 280 has been all over the place with word that performance is up to 50% faster than the 9800 GX2.

What we will be doing today is checking out exactly how much faster the new GTX 280 is when compared to the 9800 GX2, along with seeing how it compares against the top of the range AMD offering; the HD 3870 X2. For further good measure, we’ll also try it against one of the better valued for money NVIDIA cards at the moment; the 9800 GTX.

Before we get into the benchmarks, we will check out exactly what ZOTAC has done with the GTX 280 package along with a look at the specifications of the card and how it differs to the higher end 9800 offerings from NVIDIA at the moment.

10 Questions to Ask Your Hosted IP PBX Provider

Signing up for a hosted IP PBX provider is just like signing up for cable TV; the provider is trying to lock you in to a long-term contract at terms that give them the most profit, while you're just trying to get the service and features you need at the lowest possible price. Plus, there are always hidden costs.
