![]() As it is, the NGTX275 Lightning is a card with a very quiet dual-fan cooler, a very potent graphics chip, and a dubious overclocking tool that doesn’t harness the full power of the hardware. If MSI had also pre-overclocked the shader, this would be a really great card. Our maximum overclock made the situation much clearer, with the GeForce GTX 275 effortlessly reaching performance levels similar to those of a reference GeForce GTX 285. Based on our own hardware, we still saw a performance gap of one to two percent. We can’t really refute that claim, since it all depends on the benchmarks, CPU, and graphics driver version MSI used. According to the retail box, MSI’s overclocked NGTX275 Lightning is supposed to perform on par with a GeForce GTX 285. Overall, that gives our card a performance boost of 5.5 percent. The 1.4 percent increase in memory speed is negligible, though, and the shader frequency isn’t changed at all. ![]() At MSI’s factory overclocked settings, the GPU runs 10.6 percent faster than a reference card. ![]()
