NVIDIA GeForce GTX275 896MB vs. 1792MB Review

This article is the first round of GTX 200 benchmarks I'm working on. I was fortunate enough to get in touch with the fine folks at EVGA, and inquired about borrowing some cards for benchmarking and evaluation. They agreed, and this look at the GTX 275 is the first round of what will be an ongoing series of benchmarks and testing.

As of now, my rig stands at:

  • BFG GTX 295 ForceWare 182.50 (last version to natively support Wide Surround modes)
  • EVGA X58 Tri-SLI Motherboard
  • Intel i7 920 at 4x2.67GHz
  • 6GB G.Skill DDR3 RAM

Trine

Platform/puzzle game by Frozenbyte. Reminds a lot of The Lost Vikings.

MySims

Spinoff of the popular The Sims series of life simulation games.

Lobbying Central

I created a new area in the Surround Forums called Lobbying Central. Previously the WSGF has been successful in lobbying developers to add Surround support, both before and after a release. The purpose of this new forum is to collect all of these threads, so that we can coordinate our efforts and keep tabs on Surround support.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game

Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a 2009 cross-platform action game based on the Ghostbusters film franchise. The game follows the player's character as a new recruit in the Ghostbusters, a team of parapsychologists who pursue and capture ghosts. The game features elements of typical third-person shooters, but instead of using a traditional gun, players are equipped with a "Proton Pack", a laser beam-like weapon, and a ghost trap to fight and capture ghosts.

The Sims 3

The successful "suburban life simmer" returns... again. The Sims 3's most striking new feature is a seamless world design that lets players follow their Sims into their neighbours' houses and throughout the whole city.

Mountain Bike Adrenaline

As a PS2 game ported to the PC, this budget title from 2008 looks and feels pretty dated, but it is natively Hor+ nonetheless.

Ramblings of a Moron: Ghostbusters

Disclaimer

"Ramblings of a Moron" is a review series done by WSGF member Cynagen. While reviews from other sites focus on extensive play and detailed postmortem analysis, "Ramblings of a Moron" is a first impression "stream of consciousness" review. The grammar isn't perfect, and the prose can sometimes be disjointed, but these are the first impressions of a seasoned WSGF Insider. For more information, and for more Ramblings, see the complete list of Cynagen's offerings.
