MSI N275GTX Twin Frozr OC Review - PAGE 1

Last week we took a look at another card from MSI, the MSI N260GTX OC V3. It proved to be a great card, and we awarded it our Editor's Choice award. This week we will looking at another video card from MSI; one with some similarities. Today we will be reviewing the N275GTX Twin Frozr.

While the worldwide economic nosedive has been mostly terrible for many things, one of the partial silver linings has been a lowering of hardware prices across the board. It's not all that long ago where a mid-range video card could reasonably cost you around $250 -- now a days, it is a completely different ballgame. Video cards around the $100 mark are capable of handling any of today's games, and cards closer to that $250 mark are right near the highest end of performance -- such as today's N275GTX.

It does not seem like there will be any new models of video cards coming out, until the next generation of video cards is revealed. ATI is heavily rumored to be introducing their new line-up of DX11 video cards before Nvidia unveils what they have been working on. Nonetheless, this new generation's initial unveiling is still around four months away, so prices for video cards should not fluctuate massively until then.

In other words, now is not a bad time to buy, if you are looking for a upgrade to your PC gaming potential.

Let's take a look at this bigger brother of last week's N260GTX... the N275GTX.
