NVIDIA's GeForce GTX275 is an interesting card to test as the card should perform between a GTX260 216 Core and a GTX285. In some cases we'll see performance that is higher than is to be expected, nearing the GTX285 level which is amazing. The card was able to overclock to over 700MHz with the default cooler using NVIDIA's Performance Tool. Going higher was not stable. Temperatures at 700MHz reached a total of 85C when running the Extreme Preset of 3DMark Vantage. The temperature at 633MHz reached a maximum of 82C so the chip nearly the same temperature at either speed.
