GTX275 and GTS250 on one PCB
Source: BSN*Quote:
While we don't have a final name for the card, it turns out that EVGA created a dual GPU card by combining GeForce GTS 250 with GeForce GTX 275. That's right, a dedicated PhysX GPU in the form of trusty G92 [debuted as 8800, rebranded as 9800, GTS 250 and GTX 260M/280M] and GT206/GT200b GPU for graphics.
OMG its a monster "Mixture of 2 different things come on its Frankenstein but release one so close to GF100/GT300 is stupid, i know GTX380 will be in a different price bracket but maybe GTX360 will also be released" thats why its coming out in Halloween, anyone up for trickery /\ treating....
As most news, BSN = Bull **** Network.Quote:

But the price must be much lower than that of hd5850, otherwise it wont sell much at all.
Btw what are those 3 chips beatwean GPU's?
EDIT : Indeed its photoshop :)
thats what happens when u only sell only one brand product and that brand decides to screw you lol seems evga has plenty time on there hand :P
Yay photoshop :ROTF:

He isn't denying it either if you bother to read the article... ;)Quote:

Horrible Photochop... And it's not even April 1st yet! :shocked:
Does it support 4 way SLI? :rofl:
got this is an email last week, my flight is booked to leave Tolmachevo Airport 8am on the 28th, see you all there :up:

EVGA are BS, you checked there forums and the number of hardware faults they have..
My mate bought a EVGA 260 GT etc lasted him 3 months and died all sudden, then on board it said they were from a faulty batch.
Waste money marketing.
one can't wonder what would happen if there wasn't batman game around
IMHO nV are allowing non-ref high ish-end cards because theres nothing new due out for a while and they need to keep people interested in the products.
285 Classified... 285 Matrix, 275 Lightning, this hybrid... when was the last time the high-end was opened up for playing?
There was ONE 7800GTX 256, ONE 7900GTX, ONE 8800GTX etc etc etc
They are getting it from forum posts, so it's not some "industry insiders." I happen to know one of those two forum members mentioned quite well, so I'll ask him tomorrow if NVIDIA are planning to fly him to their Halloween party from the Netherlands :rofl:Quote:

Genius
Could this be the hallowed GT300!

This is also on techpowerup, so it seems to be true.
It doesn't make sense though. Now if it used something like a 9500, instead of the 8800, that would work in Hybrid SLI mode it would have been much better. I would have been real good if the system used the 9500 for basically everything except games and only when you started a game the beefier GPU would kick in and the other one switch to Physx. That would have been great for a sytems power usage. Like this it's almost worthless. And what if you SLI them, what will the extra 8800 do? SLI Physx? Come on...
nvidia: damn damn damn... we need to get rid of our G92 and GT200 stock without giving them away for free... hmmmmm
...
ASUS: mwahahah check out our custom dual gpu card!
evga: uh... eh... oh yeah? we can do that too!
(damn they saturated the highend market, nobodys gonna buy a dual GTX285 card now...)
ah HA! here: GT200 with a G92...
Asus: pfffff lol what?
nvidia: oh! sweet! this will solve my inventory problems! people will think its a highend card and pay big money for it!
evga: nvidia supports us, wicked!
Asus: ...and we get sht for making a dual GTX285 which might even beat a 5870x2 saving nvidias performance king of the hill position... :shakes:
a tripple G92 card would have been much cooler...
or a dual GT200 with a G92... now that would have been sweet...
and really revolutionary!
i have one question... can you actually run sli with those 2 gpus?
or will the G92 always work in physix mode? that would suck...
they havent thought of a marketing name? well i can see why, there is so much to chose from :D
G92: 8800GS 8800GT 8800GTS 9600GSO 9800GT 9800GTX 9800GTX+ 9800GX2 GTS150 GTS240 GTS250 GTX280M GTX260M
GT200: GTX260 GTX260-216 GTX275 GTX280 GTX285 GTX295 and soon GTS3xx and GT3xx?
how about calling it the GTX 9999 GTGSOGTX2 Ultra FTW ROFLGTFO edition? :lol:
One deserves to ROFLGTFO if they buy such thing, indeed...
berks indeed!

ladies and gentlemen! come one come all, gather and listen up!
im offering you not one EOL'ed gpu for the price of a highend card, NO, 2 EOL'ed gpus!
thats right! and the G92 has actually been tripple EOL'ed if not even more thanks to being used in oh so many products over the past decade.
This is your one in a lifetime chance to buy not only one, but TWO EOL'ed gpus for their original price, as if they were the latest and greatest.
what do i need a second ancient GPU for you ask? nothing! thats right, nothing, but worry not, it will actually be disabled most of the time as its use will be restricted to cuda PHYSIX... thats right, this great card with 2 EOL'ed gpus supports cuda physix, the soon to be EOL'ed cuda physics effects standard, which will be replaced by opencl..and this is not enough, the card has already been EOL'ed before its launch, making it the ultimate EOL card ever...
Thats right, quad EOL, this card supports it, quad EOL on one card, so you dont have to worry how many graphics slots your mainboard has and if it supports mult EOL technology, no, this card has quad EOL on one card, it will work in any system!
no longer do you need to buy 4 EOL'ed cards and worry about them actually working in quad EOL technology...
go quad EOL now and enjoy the ultimate in visual computing! invite your friends and coworkers to your home and show them this bad4ss highend card and watch them cry... of laughter...
hurry up and get yours before they are all gone!
:D
Fixed ;)Quote:

This better not be true.
Riddle me this, riddle me that... this card is only useful for scratching your back!
no, its an april 1st joke... but you know nvidia, its been delayed ^^Quote:

If this is true, I'll predict nvidias death, this is the stupidest thing I've seen.Quote:

you do know that the GTX 295 is two underclocked GTX 275 GPU's right?Quote:

I still cross fingers for fermi :P
ahhh come on... this is just another pr stunt gone wrong and nvidia falling backwards on its butt :D AGAIN! :DQuote:

lol, the best would be this, people wait and wait for fermi... november ends and people call up jensen...
press: so, uh... what, is gt300 coming out now or not?
jensen: huh? of course not! i told you itll take a few short months more, just be patient!
press: but you said...
jensen: ...that we'd launch a new card based on fermi technology in november...
press: so the dx10.1 parts are based on fermi?
jensen: no, the gt200 g92 hybrid card!
press: huh???
jensen: well you see, its a hybrid of gt200 and g92... with a bigger focus on cuda and physix... just like gt300... so its based on fermi technology... sortof...
press: GAH!
jensen: :shrug:
:lol:
I'd call it the 'EOL GTFO edition' :)
tbh this is to do with EVGA nothing to do with nvidia :/ AIB partners can do w/e they want with the cards tbh
Yep, we've seen several odd dualcards on the ATI side that didn't make sense.

I think you can only make an ass out of yourself a finite number of times before nobody takes you seriously. They are on the fail train now.Quote:

Halloween,
"We of course invited you to this press conference for one major thing, this, the EVGA nvidia Failcard GX2, it is compromised of the best EOL parts available from nvidia, and the second GPU will hardly ever be needed, because PhysX is a load of BS which nobody uses"
nvidia are just trying to fill the time whith this card for the "long lasting waiting" of gtx380.....
Should call it 'FrankenCard'. Frankenstein was made from EOL'd human parts so I think it's very fitting especially coming out on Halloween. This has to be a joke! :rofl: I cannot take this seriously in any way.
Sorry, but FrankenCard has already been created;)

This doesn't have much to do with nVidia does it though? Purely eVGA's initiative. If it's anyone's old stock they have to clear it's their own! lol
afaik thats not the case, when a product is new there are ref cards and ref cards only... and thats cause nvidia wont allow anybody else to make cards. then they allow their bigger customers to create custom cards... but not everything is allowed... remember that asus said their mars card wouldnt use nf200? thats cause nvidia didnt want a non ref 295 card... ultimately nvidia apparently realized that with gt300 delayed mars isnt such a bad idea at all and gave them their ok... nvidia is usually very strict about ref designs... they didnt even allow card makers to clock cards higher than default in some part in history, cause it didnt fit their strategy... nvidia usually only allows card makers to do what they want if a product is at the end of its life cycle and they need some attention and pr to make their cards look better.Quote:

oh yeah the 2600xt right? that was odd... some said it was a good card but i never saw the point in it... and the 1950pro x2 was odd too... huge card... but perf was good iirc? the card still kinda flopped tho iirc... but ati allows card makers to do what they want afaik, as long as they follow design and verification and qualification guidelines... its really a shame we never saw a 4830x2...i hope we will see a 5750x2, thatd be sweet... 4870x2 with what, half the power draw and way lower costs? would be a great deal i think...Quote:

well nvidia is most likely betting that gt300 will deliver and thatll reset their counter to 0 or even full credibility... and they are most likely right :DQuote:

heheheh :D
Ahhh i get it guys. They will show Tesla gpu 100%! Cause that gpu dedicated to Cuda support
successful troll thread is successful
sure you know more than the cheif scientists at nvidia...Quote:

evga and nvidia are pretty close. evga even makes sli drivers for newest games even though they are not whql.Quote:

Does anyone remember GRAW 2?
What's "Warmonger"?
We all know that in UT3 PhysX makes no difference at all...
Cryostastis... ah famous Russian game played only by members of NV zone forum :)
Mirror's Edge... that was one of the most frustrating, iritating and dull games I've ever played!
Haven't played Batman, but I read people saying it's nice game with some features forced out on red cards ;)
So, all-in-all there's just one game worthy playing - Batman that supports this PhysX stuff!
And they want to make people believe it's worth spending 3xx+ USD on a outdated, renamed, DX10 card for the sake of just one... DX9 game?
That sound tougher than designing Fermi :)
You guys are laughing, but there's a market for this. Sometimes one just isn't enough, there are times when you need two obsolete GPU's.
not really, they test different sli modes and then create game profiles for new games... they dont "MAKE" or even modify drivers...Quote:

yeah i wish all posts would be as contributing as yours :clap:Quote:

come on, you cant seriously tell me you think this is a great product and the jokes im making about it are entirely unjustified.
if this is such a great product, then go and tell me why... whats cool about this? will it save people money who want a gtx275 and a gts250 for physix? unlikely, especially since prices are plummeting... so then what IS it good for?
oh im sure there is, h3ll theres even a market for dog diapers, that doesnt make it any less hilarious and weird though :DQuote:

i like evga and i dont mean this as a bash at all, evga is a great company with some really innovative products! same for nvidia!
they both do deserve poke though imo for making this card...
If the sell this cheap as hell then I think it is an awesome idea, ATI and AMD have always tried to dump old high end stock at slight profit [or even a loss] just before a new gen comes out and when they sell it cheaply enough like the 7900GTO and X800GTO2 it is a bargain. Midrange Fermi is likely quite a long way off and this is an innovative way of shifting out of date chips that are still more than powerful enough for the midrange market and probably all upcoming games over the next year.
very true, if for an extra 20$ i could get a 80$ card bundled with it that can run other features while the big one does most the work, it might be a good idea. however whats the chance they sell the extra old EOL card for anything but what its retail price isQuote:

You do it, however, quite well on AMD related threads, but I don't see you mocking up AMD all that excited as you do about nVidia. Why is that? You like them better? :confused:
He mocks AMD/ATI just as much for there marketing. It just happens that NV has been pulling allot more (bad) PR stunts than AMD lately.Quote:
