Point of View GTX285 EXO [Minil Review with some Benchmarks]

[Afrokalle]

G´day fellas

We have received a GTX285 EXO from Point of View to test it and here it is our review.





The new generation of NVIDIA graphic chips (GT 200b) is based on a 55nm fabrication process and disposes of over 1GB DDR3 RAM, in connection with a broadband 512bit memory interface.

Up to 3 GTX 285 Graphic cards operating in 3-way SLI modus can be put together and therefore the image quality settings can be cranked up, resolution maximized, and the scales tilt in one’s favor.

The Point of View is default overclocked and emerges in a new look with 675MHz core clock, 1537MHz shader clock, as well as 1275MHZ memory clock.

For the card was not ours, we couldn’t “unfortunately” test it to its limits, but the achieved values make one fancy for more and more…

The card temperatures were continuously within convenient limits. The fan worked at no time more than at 50% of its capacity.

The Point of View GTX285 EXO is a definitely successful card and it makes a good impression either by gaming or by benching

At this point we would like to say a big thank you to Point of View for giving us the possibility to test it.

Would have been nice if you had an idea about the GPU Vcore...

[Afrokalle]

GPU VCore is 1,15V@Load during EVGA GTX285 FTW is running with 1,23V@Load....
