I dunno, this doesn't look like 9800GX2 vs 3870X2, that was a big lead and hence nVidia could sell their cards at a nice ~$600.
This one is small and unimpressive. (Dead Space doesn't work on CF, bugger lol)
When you can get a 4850X2 for $280, OC it slightly so it's about the same as a 4870X2 (see FS review), it really upsets all of the scales.
But I'll see more real scores before making a conclusion. :D
I'm shocked to see it consumes less power than a 4870x2 according to those numbers. This means that a gtx285 can consume less than a 4870.
honestly its surprising to me that the 295 has such a lead in every single bar on those graphs, but it is entirely possible.... but hey I think 9.1 is gonna have to be good because of this so I am happy
GTX 295 has very good price ... by the way!
If it's around the $399 mark I will get one.Quote:

Although they are NV optimized games, I have to give them a kudo for using a proper baseline.
Ohwait i buy one card with two cores and two pcb's,what the differance they are both an easy way to gain performance just two different approach.Quote:

Acually the Quad has 2 x Dual core processors. I look at the picture of the 295 and it looks like a single card. How does having 2 PCB's inside make it bad. The reason why Nvidia didn't go for single PCB is that they would have to spend crapload of money on developing new design.Quote:

LOE quit being a hater. The initial bench's look nice. Performance will only improve with newer drivers. I think TRI 280 SLI and Quad 295 SLI are going to be neck and neck however. The only reason to switch would be for lower power consumption or to free up a slot. I'm not sure how well these will overclock due to the thermal dynamics of the whole thing.
I agree LOE
its just that niether ati or nv has a single core in near future that matches thier x2 cards power.
that would take lots more money and time(plus it wont be easy to match)
LOE, Stop crying. Does it matter how they do the job if the job gets done?
Nvidia made the 9800GX2 that way and they made this one this way. The Die on the chip is to big to put it on one PCB. Thermodynamics just does'nt allow for such a thing when you take into account off the other stuff they need on a pcb to run this G200 Core.Quote:

A dual GPU card is any card with two GPU's and one PCI Express Blade/Connector. These 295's are sharing bandwith and memory as with 280's in SLI do not.Quote:
