EVGA GeForce GTX 280 1GB Superclocked Review

Prey

Even though Prey may be a bit older game compared against many of the other ones we are testing, it still provides a workout of even the best graphics cards on the market. This time we have enabled its Graphics Boost feature (Gboost in the charts) and run through a custom timedemo.


And here we thought that our cards would be bottlenecked by the CPU in this game…guess not. The EVGA GTX 280 Superclocked completely demolishes everything else in this test with numbers that are just beyond belief. Trust me, this test was run 4 times all with nearly the same results.


Unreal Tournament III

With absolutely stunning graphics, this popular online FPS provides great visuals to go hand-in-hand with palm-sweating gameplay.

For these tests we set up a 15 minute Bot Match on the Serenity level and let it play though. All of the results were recorded with FRAPS.


If you are a player of this game you have nothing to worry about if you play at 1280 x1024 or 1600 x 1200 resolution. Things get a bit less cut and dried when it comes to people using 30” monitors since at high resolution it seems like the GX2 slightly edges out the new GTX 280.
