OCC has published a new review of the Inno3D iChill GTX275. The card comes with 896MB of GDDR3 clocked at 2350MHz, the core running at 670MHz, and shaders at 1474MHz, all on a 55nm fabrication process with 240 stream processors. Overall, the card matches specifications of a GTX 280/285 and half of a GTX 295 on stream processors, and matches a GTX 260 and GTX 295 with 896MB of memory. Power usage and efficiency, along with overall clock speed and overclocking ability, should be improved over the older GTX 280, while the smaller memory bus (448-bit) and 128MB less memory may take a little away from the card compared to the 512-bit 1GB memory on the GTX 280/285s.

The only major downfall to this card is that the memory chips are not cooled by heatsinks, save for three of the 14 that are used as props mainly to keep pressure on the forward-mounted chip, thus limiting the overclocking capability of the memory. The video card does have an audio connection, but does not come with an audio cable or DVI to HDMI converter to allow HDMI usage with the card out of the box, for users who prefer or rely upon HDMI connections. Finally, the card is longer than reference GTX 275s by quite a bit (it's 12" long), which could pose a problem for cramped cases. All of these are really minor points however, since HDMI is not too common yet and is merely not supported out of box, and that RAM-sinks would not add much more headroom – although it still would have been a nice feature to find. Also, users with small cases should make sure that there is enough room for this graphics card since it is so long, with proper preparation, problems can be avoided!

Pros:
* Free games Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts and Warmonger
* Great cooling performance
* Overclocking potential
* Quiet operation
* Good packaging

Cons:
* Memory not cooled with heatsinks
* No HDMI support out of box
* Size - longer than reference
