im upgrading to the GTX 285 when it comes out, anyone know the MSRP? hoping thermalright will release a cooler for it

OMG, I was going to get Core 216 55nm, but 285 looks so niiice. I hope the price looks also nice.

I'm gonna upgrade to GTX295 :)

not much of a upgrade from a gtx260-216 realy few fps 285 is just a overclocked 280 lol wait Q3-4 DX11 CARDS

Exactly. If you already have a c216GTX260 or a 280, the 285 really isnt worthy of calling it an upgrade IMHO. I was going to get the 295 as my 260 is @ evga for RMA, but they told me a 55nm GTX260 would only cost $7.00 + shipping, so im doing that, and not even thinking about the 295, as i've had the 9800GX2, 7900GX2, and were lack lust in games, and longevity and support it seemed. I dont think there dual pcb cards are really worth while.

Send me one and I will try :P

I was thinking of upgrading to gtx260 55nm but gtx285 looks nice...

I have 2 260's not the 216's that will be stepped up to the 285. I was thinking about the 295 but I'll pass.

Since people have said the gtx285 is not enough of a step up for the 260 core 216, I might go up to the 55nm version in hopes of a better OC, but I think I'll skip this "generation."

I am looking right now at prices of gtx280. Evga gtx280 is

Why? your card OCed is onpar with a 280? How big of a step is it from the 280 to 285?

lolz totally.

I think there is a stong possibility we will see the 285 debut at 349MSRP....

Me wants GTX 285 as I don't have a VHS player ne-more^^ :D

I have a simple questions guys while we are on the subject. I know it ain't the right place but...

I haven't been around and ain't updated on new stuff but i sure am getting back to it...

Would you guys consider a good move going from 2 8800GTXs to a single GTX 295 ?

Thanks.

On a side note, this GTX295 really looks awesome IMO.

does the 55nm 260 has 216 steam processors?? wanna upgrade from 260 :p:

That would just make my day.

hmmm step-up to the 295 for $275 is tempting...only slightly more than just getting a second 260.

Part of me wants to step up to a 295 once the prices lower a wee bit.

The other part says, "remember the 3870X2, remember all those driver issues and scaling problems? Are you out of your mind!"

I hear ya Sly Fox. I have a couple dual gpu cards for benching, can't beat those, but use a single g92 card with silent fan for work and gaming. I had to jump at the 295, can't wait to put that thing to work.

yeah defo worth the upgrade from 2 8800gtx good luck what resolution you game at ?:up:

I really wish it would be possible to SLI up the 285 with the 280. I don't see myself going out to buy 2 285s just to go SLI when I already own a 280. Guess this means getting a second 280!

Dont forget that they rarely lower the MSRP once its been set, even though yesterday and today were weird days i regards to that...

Yeah it depends on your res. Honestly though there really that many games that would be better off. I'd imagine your SLI could play all bar one fine at high res'.

shamino gtx285 edition ?

I like my 9800GTX, it does everything I need and more.....

I want a 285 but I'm gonna have to take my money to my favorite restaurant.

1920x1200. Those 2 cards can't handle recent games at that res with enough AA and AF for my likings. I always needed more power in Crysis and Crysis Warhead. So do i for Far Cry 2 - GTA 4 - S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky Etc...

But thanks for the replies!

My GTX 295+ just came in today. lookin good,

Couple of prices out for 285 in New Zealand. Half it for US prices basically (that's not exchange, just how it ends up) http://pricespy.co.nz/pno_14729.html.

Cant wait to upgrade my 8800GTX :D :D
