Nvidia GTX-275

INTRODUCTION

In the ongoing price/performance wars in the GPU arena Nvidia had released yet another new variant of the GTX-200 lineup. A welcome addition to the "Enthusiast" lineup targeted toward the value conscious enthusiast and expected to debut at $229 - $249 dubbed the GTX-275. With Nvidias dedication to the concept of naming GPU's in the linear numeric manner you can expect the new GPU to fall between the GTX-260 and the GTX-280 leaning more toward the GTX-280 performance than the GTX-260.

Nvidia has dedicated considerable effort and resources to ensure that their product is the price/performance king at every price point and you can bet that the Nvidia GTX-275 delivers on that promise. We're not betting we're benching so sit back and relax while we drive the Nvidia GTX-275 as hard as it will go and see if this addition to the Nvidia arsenal fills the gap between the GTX-260 and GTX-280/285.

The Role of Visual and High Performance Computing in Scientific Innovation

Visual and high performance computing, driven by NVIDIA® GPUs, is testing the boundaries of science and medicine. Scientists and researchers are intrigued and challenged by the potential advances at their fingertips, such as accelerated diagnoses, increased precision and prediction, and virtual environments in which patients can speed their own wellness.

NVIDIA CUDA Recognized for Life Saving Potential

Tech News World recognizes NVIDIA's CUDA architecture, which allows the GPU to be used by scientists for groundbreaking research and results, as one of "the most magical, excellent, almost perfect products of 2008".

Dramatically Accelerating the Search For a Cure

Stanford University's Folding@home program has become a major force in researching cures to life-threatening diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and some cancers by combining the computing horsepower of millions of individual processors to simulate protein folding. By running the Folding@home client on an NVIDIA GeForce® GPU, protein-folding simulations can be done 140 times faster than on some of today's traditional CPUs.
