XFX GX-280N-ZDF9 GeForce GTX 280 1GB GDDR3 602MHz PCI Express 2.0
The NVIDIA GTX 280 uses NVIDIA’s second generation unified visual computing architecture. The stock clocked GTX 280 video card has 240 processing cores and 1GB or GDDR3 memory.
Key architectural changes to the XFX GTX 280 include support for three times the number of threads in a flight at any given time, a new scheduler offering a 20% improvement in texturing efficiency, 512-bit memory interface, improved z-cull and compression technology for high resolution performance, architectural enhancements for geometry shading and stream out performance, faster full-speed ROP buffer blending (the 8800 series only had half speed), twice as many registers for longer and more complex shaders, IEEE 754R double precision floating-point, and hardware support for 10-bit color scan out via DisplayPort.
The card supports Hybrid power as well. Power usage at idle/2D mode is around 25W, with Blu-ray playback power consumption is about 35W, full 3D performance mode varies but maximum TDP is 236W and in hybrid power mode the power consumption is effectively 0W. The XFX GTX 280 has a whopping 1.4 billion transistors and is built on a 65nm process. The graphics clock is 602 MHz, the processor clock is 1296 MHz, and the memory clock is 2214 MHz.

Crysis
I ran it at 1920 x 1200 with 2X AA, all settings on high for advanced video options. Fraps recorded frame rate data from the initial beach insertion until the battle with the first enemies. Fraps recorded the following frame rate data:
Min- 12 fps
Avg- 24.643 fps
Max- 53 fps
Changing the advanced video options to medium resulted in the following frame rates:
Min- 40 fps
Avg- 61.754 fps
Max- 104 fps
Quake Wars
I ran it at a resolution of 2560 x 1600 with all visual quality settings on high, 2x AA, ultra shaders and shadows, soft particles, and smooth foliage on. Fraps recorded frame rate data on a single player Africa Refinery map. Frame rates were as follows:
Min- 41 fps
Avg- 60.155 fps
Max- 62 fps
Call of Duty 4
I ran it at a screen resolution of 1920 x 1200 with 4x AA, shadows, specular maps, depth of field, glow, soft smoke, rag doll, and bullet impacts on. Dynamic lights were set to normal along with model and water detail. The number of corpses was large. Fraps recorded the following frame rate data:
Min- 61 fps
Avg- 127.063 fps
Max 223 fps
