EVGA Puts 1792MB of GDDR3 Memory on New GTX 275

EVGA, like most of NVIDIA's other board partners, has recently updated its GeForce graphics card lineup with the introduction of the new GeForce GTX 275-based graphics accelerators, based on NVIDIA's latest GT200-series GPU. With the launch, EVGA has rolled out two versions of the card, as it does with all of its NVIDIA-based cards. As part of its refreshed GeForce lineup, EVGA has rolled a reference design of the card, but also a version that has been equipped with 1792MB of 448-bit DDR3 memory. In addition, according to the details that have recently surfaced to the Internet, EVGA will also provide its fans with at least one factory-overclocked GTX 275.

The new cards from EVGA have been designed to provide computer and gaming enthusiasts with higher-performance alternatives to NVIDIA's latest 55nm GT200-series GPU. Both cards, which are currently available at the company's website, have been set to work at the reference clock speeds of 633, 1404 and 2268MHz for the GPU, shaders and memory, respectively. Both cards use the dual-slot cooling solution that is featured on NVIDIA's reference design and come with support for NVIDIA's CUDA, PhysX and 3-way SLI technologies.

However, from the two, the version that is equipped with 1792MB of DDR3 memory will likely end up as the choice of all those gaming enthusiasts, as it can provide a performance boost that can't be achieved by overclocked cards.

In addition to these two cards, EVGA is expected to announce its factory-overclocked GTX 275 models, at least one of which has already been listed for pre-order on the website of a UK-based reseller. The EVGA GeForce GTX 275 Superclocked comes with 896MB of memory and seems to have adopted the same design as the standard version. However, we are sure that the listed specifications aren't real, especially since we are dealing with an overclocked card.

Price wise, the EVGA GeForce GTX 275 is available for $249,99 while the 1792MB-equipped version is listed for US$299.99. The Superclocked version is listed at £275.99, or about US$408.
