Asus ENGTX280

摘要

Asus' new video card based on nVidia's GTX 280 chipset, the ENGTX280, is all about the speed. A single card nearly doubled the performance of the 9800 GTX in many of our tests, and even beat a pair of dual-GPU GeForce 9800 GX2 cards running in Quad SLI mode on others. This card finally makes DirectX 10 (DX10) games playable at full resolution and detail on 30-inch monitors. With a pair of GTX 280s in SLI mode, even those demanding DX10 games manage silky-smooth frame rates; you can install a third card in a 3-Way SLI system for an even greater performance boost. (As with earlier cards, nVidia's drivers disable multiple monitor support when running in SLI mode; you'll have to disable the second card to use more than one display.)
