BFG GTX 280 OCX 1GB Video Card Review

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 the in-game benchmark tool.


At lower resolutions, it seems the overclock on the BFG card is able to eke out a few wins in UTIII but once the crunch is on at 2560 x 1600 resolutions, it looses out by a fair margin to the Crossfire setups and HD4870X2. Nonetheless, this is a very good result for this card.


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.


Once again the overclock does wonders in Prey but victory at higher is once again elusive. It is really amazing to see what the OCX can do in some of these games.
