BFG Launches Overclocked GeForce GTX 280/260 Cards
BFG Technologies, the leading North American and European supplier of advanced NVIDIA-based 3D graphics cards, power supplies and other PC enthusiast products, announced today the BFG GeForce GTX 280 OC and the BFG GeForce GTX 260 OC graphics cards. With 240 processing cores and 1GB of frame buffer memory, the BFG GeForce GTX 280 OC delivers an average performance improvement that is one and a half times better than high-end GeForce 8 and GeForce 9 series single-GPU graphics cards.
The BFG GeForce GTX 260 OC is targeted at price/performance conscious enthusiasts and includes a reduced number of processing cores (192) and lower frame buffer size (896MB), yet still permits the top 3D games to be played at high resolutions and fast frame rates.
