The price is a good point on this card, as well, currently being sold at an average of €375, which, despite the higher price, it’s rather appropriate for the card, considering its performance and the production costs. The material quality on the Gainward GeForce GTX280 is excellent and unmatched, all the components are built with high-quality materials, and it also features a 3-year warranty from the manufacturer.

The additional features on the GTX280 only increase the card’s value. The integration of the Hybrid SLI technology allows the pairing with an Nvidia motherboard, and it results in a noticeable reduction in energy consumption whenever the graphic card isn’t necessarily needed. The Pure Video HD technology provides a smooth high-definition streaming without requiring too much effort from the whole system. Also, the possibility of the Triple SLI technology allows users to create gaming platforms that are increasingly more powerful and complete, also thanks to the PhysX technology that will give yet another boost to games as soon as the gaming market adapts itself to it. Also interesting the new CUDA technology, that promises to lower the load on the CPU by using the GPU in a more intense way.
