Weird experience with GTX 275
I posted about this on the RPG game group if you want to
see more detail: I replaced a blown 8800 GT with a new GTX 275 from EVGA. I was surprised to see that the 275 had a much lower frame rate than the 8800 in games like Gothic3 and Risen. I had read tests on the 275, and it was clearly the superior card. I tried dialing the performance settings back in both games, but the fps stayed low. Then I noted that the driver for the 275 had lots of adjustments that might "tune" the card to my system. So, I ran the 18 minute version of NTUNE included in the driver. The result was amazing. Now my 275 has a tremendous frame rate and both Gothic3 and Risen run smooth as glass ?????? Note: I did not overclock the 275. I just tuned it. johns |

The only way a GTX 275 card will run slower than an 8800GT is if there is something seriously wrong with the installed driver. |

Last I knew, GT200 cards downclock themselves automatically if sufficient amps aren't supplied over the +12v. I don't know why the driver wouldn't warn the OP about this, but it should show up in any overclocking or tweaking utilitiy where you can see your actual clock speeds. |
