NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 second edition



OC3D have long recognised XFX to be the best in the business when it comes to packaging. So then it comes as no surprise that XFX have not changed what isn't broken.

Put simply the GTX295 is an amazing card. I encountered no micro stutter which is the weakness of dual GPU cards and I encountered very few driver anomalies. The noise was easily bearable, it looks great and as a package is nothing short of perfect.

- Unrivalled Performance
- Great Packaging
- Fantastic looks
- Sublime overclocking
