As expected, today NVIDIA officially announced the release of two high-performance graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 280 and GeForce GTX 260, based on the top-end GT200 chip manufactured using 65nm technology.
Both solutions are primarily aimed at the most demanding users, avid fans of modern 3D games and computer enthusiasts who enjoy overclocking. According to the developers, thanks to the use of a second-generation unified architecture and the implementation of PhysX physics engine support, their products fully allow users to enjoy the incredible realism of complex special effects present in the game environment, as well as provide unprecedented image clarity, smooth video playback, accurate color reproduction, and flexible image scaling when displaying video content.
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 is built on a 14-layer printed circuit board, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 has a 12-layer board. At the same time, each accelerator is equipped with a dual-slot active air cooling system, uses a PCI Express 2.0 x16 bus, is compatible with DirectX 10.0 Shader Model 4.0 and OpenGL 2.1, supports NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technology, NVIDIA CUDA Technology, NVIDIA HybridPower Technology, and NVIDIA SLI Technology (2-Way SLI and 3-Way SLI configurations are supported), and is equipped with a pair of DVI connectors and one HDTV output. The main differences between the products are presented below.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280
Features of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280:
* Core clock frequency: 602 MHz;
* Number of stream processors: 240;
* Shader block clock frequency: 1296 MHz;
* Memory: GDDR3 with 1024 MB;
* Memory interface width: 512 bits;
* Memory bandwidth: 141.70 GB/s;
* Effective memory frequency: 2214 MHz;
* Power consumption: 236 W;
* Power connectors: one 6-pin and one 8-pin.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
Features of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260:
* Core clock frequency: 576 MHz;
* Number of stream processors: 192;
* Shader block clock frequency: 1242 MHz;

* Memory bandwidth: 111.9 GB/s;
* Effective memory frequency: 1998 MHz;
* Power consumption: 182 W;
* Power connectors: two 6-pin.
NVIDIA 3-Way SLI
Finally, it should be noted that GeForce GTX 280 models from some well-known graphics card manufacturers have already been spotted in European online stores, as we previously reported in our news feed.

Test: GeForce 280GTX – very fast and terribly hot
Hooray! It happened :)

O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
