285 will need a different sink than the 260/80??

It looks like it won't perform any better clock for clock than the 280.
But the heat and power consumption should be reduced.
Nicely done and good info . Thx ! :)
haha i dont know what your talking about. when i had 2 gtx 280's they scored 25k on stock. Anyways your posted a max overclock on a 260 core 216 and not a "moderately overclocked" Card haha. Those cards don't have anything left in the tank on stock cooling. While my 295 does. Spare me the nboc bull:banana::banana::banana::banana: splave. That was'nt even a max overclock on this card. that was just moving the sliders and benching to see what i would get.
ouch, I say moderate because they max at 774/1250 and that was without HT.....oops
Why dont you make your own thread with your results instead of posting them in a 285 thread
^+1 agreed. Lets see more 285 benches and leave the 295's to their own thread.
i'm a bit dissapointed with the overclocking capabilities, from idle
to load, from 40ºc to 80ºc it goes and few minutes... and this cooler
pumps air to the case, not only messes with the gpu temps but also
interferes with mobo/cpu cooling.
i'll show it as soon as possible... (i've been busy, sorry)
your doing an excellent job, keep it up :)
btw how/where is it expelling air in the case and not out the back? I ask as the cooler looks similar to the gtx-260 55nm one which blows it right out the back.
Again great job so far thanks for results
This "mini-review" turned out to be more of a preview. Where are the rest of the benchmarks and/or overclocking results? Might as well just wait for tomorrow now as most tech sites will have tested them much more thoroughly.
added more data
PCB & Cooler fotos added
video: 285: Removing the cooler
So this refresh gives 3-5fpsish more, how much less power is it using?
i love my Zotac AMP GTX285 :D

Impressive what the card is capable of, if I played games I might consider it. I just use all this computer power to browse the internet and read email if you were curious.
this is with default air cooler @ 100% ;)
take these as low marks :)
ssc @ 750/1700/1500
q9650 @ 4500
ddr2 @ 600
