We have always been a fan of the GeForce GTX 275, and there's really no reason not to like it though while it's nothing more than a rebranded model which can be confusing to some, the card does exactly what we want, offers good performance and sits at a good price point. Today we are going to check out a GeForce GTX 275 from Palit and while it doesn't carry the Sonic naming scheme which tends to peak our interest more, it is still unique in the cooling department. This really is the better side to improve upon when it comes to releasing a video card, as overclocking can be done yourself. While you can replace the cooler without too much drama, you instantly void the warranty which is best to avoid. - TweakTown

Palit GeForce GTX 275 896MB Video Graphics Review

Having a look at the package, we don't see anything too out of the ordinary. We can see a large portion of the box is taken up by Frobot along with a bit of a motto. We can also see across the top of the box we have the Palit logo. We also have a sticker that gives us some of the main details on the board which includes the model, which is the GeForce GTX 275. We also see that it comes with 896MB of GDDR3 memory on a 448-bit memory bus. It also mentions that we've got two dual link DVI connectors along with the HDMI logo and a few other items. Turning the box, we have some of the main features that the GPU offers.

Having a look at the card for the first time, we can see that Palit has opted for a new cooler which we mentioned in the introduction. Like most companies, we see that they've opted for a pretty meaty one which hopefully cools the card well. With the shroud covering most of the card there isn't a whole lot to see, we have two fans that sit in the middle and behind that we have a number of fins along with three heatpipes that help pull the heat away from the core. Now towards the back of the graphics card we find two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors that are required to power the card, and closer to the front two SLI connectors.

The Palit GeForce GTX 275 offers us everything we want out of a graphics board. We have got good performance at a pretty good price and when it comes to a graphics card for your system you really can't ask for much more than that. It's not all pros though, the limited bundle might be disappointing to some but we've really come to expect it from Palit and what it ultimately does for the product on a whole is keep the price down which is always a good thing for the consumer. The good news is that Palit has also decided to mix it up a little in the cooling department and opted for something different than the reference solution.

And the even better news is that not only have they put on something that looks good, but it also manages to cool better than a stock one and give us less noise. While the bundle might be a bit on the light side of things, we've got everything we need including handy connectors. We've also got a pretty competitive price point and a cooler that kicks butt. Along with that we've got that typical GeForce GTX 275 performance which is good for higher widescreen and for the most part isn't too bad when it comes to the 30inch resolution if you're willing to move from very high to high or medium settings for your favorite games.

If you're looking for a GeForce GTX 275 that carries a good cooler and you don't mind overclocking yourself, the version from Palit is a good option and if you can get your hands on it we highly recommend you think about it.
