BFG GTX 280 OCX 1GB Video Card Review

3DMark 06


While some may wonder at the use of still including 3DMark06 in the tests it gives us a good idea of the basic limitations of a graphics card. Since the standard test runs at 1280x1024 there will be a fair amount of CPU bottlenecking with higher-end cards and remember that in many cases a higher 3DMark score does not equate better performance. Here we have also included tests with AA and AF enabled




The performance of the BFG card in this test was actually quite shocking for us considering we were seeing increases of over 1000 points over a stock card. It looks like the GTX benefits quite a bit with the right clock speed increases.
