One of the first to announce it was BFG, who will be shipping an 'OC' version in the next few days.
Based on the reference card design, the OC is currently the only variant of the GeForce GTX 275 listed on the company's site.
How does it differ from the basic board that's available for around £200 today?

The BFG GeForce GTX 275 OC is currently available on pre-order for around £230, making it some £30 more-expensive than the bargain-basement Palit card. For that you receive a slight clock-bump on all parameters.
Considering that all GeForce GTX 275s bar the Palit card appear to cost in excess of £200, the value proposition isn't too bad and in line with the Radeon HD 4890s. What do you think?
