MSI GeForce GTX 280 OC Graphics Card


Introduction

While the GTX 280 might be the most powerful single cored graphics card on the market at the moment, it didn’t seem to be greeted with welcomed arms. A high price tag and small to no gains over its older dual GPU brother, the 9800 GX2 meant that people didn’t get all that excited about it.

Today we’re going to take the time to see what MSI have done to the card. We know they’ve decided to overclock the card, but we wonder if they’ve done anything else with it to let it stand out from the pack.

While we haven’t fallen head over heels for the GTX 280, there’s no denying that it’s a very fast single core card and it’s difficult not to be impressed by the performance the single GPU puts out. Prices have dropped and availability has risen; now might just be the time to pick up a GTX 280.
