Memory upgrade maker PNY Technologies today announced the XLR8 GeForce GTX 280 PCI-e 2.0 and GTX 260 PCI-e 2.0 graphics cards, which are based on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 200 Series.
"With convincing facial animation, multiple ultra-high polygon characters in complex environments and fully simulated physical effects, these cards bring 3D games to life," said Nicholas Mauro, senior marketing manager, PC components. "Not just for gamers, these cards broaden our scope of products to reach even programmers--who need to offload processing tasks from the CPU to the GPU. In fact, the GTX 200 series delivers performance improvements up to 7x a traditional CPU."
The XLR8 GeForce GTX 280 has 1,024MB of GDDR3 frame buffer memory, a 602-MHz core clock, and a 1,296-MHz shader clock, as well as 141.7GB/second memory bandwidth, a texture fill rate of 48.2 Bil/second; and an effective data rate of 2,214 MHz. The list price for the GTX 280 is $649.99
PNY's XLR8 GeForce GTX 260 offers 896MB of GDDR3 frame buffer memory, a 576-MHz core clock, and a 1,242-MHz shader clock. It also has 111.9 GB/second memory bandwidth; a texture fill rate of 36.9 Bil/second, and an effective data rate of 2,000 MHz. This one sets you back $399.99 (list).
Both cards also feature DirectX 10 with full Shader Model 4.0 support, dual-link DVI, and one HDTV output, and High Definition 1,080p display support.
The cards are available now, with special offerings from PNY.com, NewEgg, and TigerDirect.com.
