Palit Releases Custom GeForce GTX285 Cards With 1 GB and 2 GB Memory

[onethreehill]

Palit Microsystems, leading graphics card manufacturer, announces the first own design GeForce GTX285 1 GB and 2 GB. Armed with NVIDIA PhysX and NVIDIA CUDA technology, the GeForce GTX 285 series are ready to enable a total new class of physical gaming interaction.
Palit GTX285 2 GB is the first and the only one graphics card available in the market. The Palit GeForce GTX 285 1 GB and 2 GB feature a core speed of 648 MHz and 2.5 GHz on its GDDR3 memory with a 512bit interface. It supports the latest NVIDIA PhysX technology providing real-time physics simulations in leading edge PC and console games. With up to 50% more performance than prior generation GPUs, GeForce GTX 285’s GPUs tear through complex DirectX 10 environments and cinematic effects at blazing frame rates in extreme HD resolution.

So, the high density GDDR3 chips can get up its clock that high too nowadays, nice.

The nvidia card that could really do with a 2x boost to memory size is the 295, the 285 less so.

[xdan]

With 2GB and a little overclocking Palit's new GTX285 could be almost like 4870x2 on performance. Note that Evga SSC GTX285 it is very close to 4870x2. And a good thing is that Palit make also a custom cooler which might help very much the overclocking.
And the price may be could be just a 30$ moore.
Here is a picture

I'm never touching multi-GPU again. Single fastest GPU for me thankyouverymuch. Former 2x 4870X2 owner here.

And I'd dig 2gb of memory, it was bound to happen sooner or later, and at least it isn't on the 8400GS or something like that

Maybe this will allow us to turn up the draw distance in GTA IV from 20% to 25%

Dont know what your 4870X2 issues were (drivers?), but I always was pretty much anti-MGPU, now Im quite happy (depsite drivers).

Anyway, Palit/Gainward make some nice sick cards, next card will be from them for sure. Those reference models are... yeah, slightly boring

For a long time that's what I told myself too. The longer you wait, the less they will sell for.

Finally GTA4 with maximum settings

Looks like the same overly loud heatsink from the R700 Deluxe.

R700 Deluxe it's trislot this is dual from the picture.
And the fans are 4pin PVM like the GTX 260 Sonic, so you can control the turation. The fact is that those custom cooler don't let the temperature to raise above 70 C.

[ColonelCain]

Can the GT2xx series even utilize that much memory?

[GAR]

Nice, i wish i could replace my stock coolers with these, but AC has something coming up next month.

[Garrett]

Yes AC indeed comes with something, and definitely NOT as loud as Palit's solution

[deathman20]

Doubt the full amount unless you have 3-4 Gpus SLI'ed and run at some insane res with the biggest texture pack out there.

Oh and did I mention AA, lots of AA.

[HiJon89]

Interesting, once someone gets CUDA working for decoding x264/VC-1 I'll definitely go back to nVidia, until then I'll keep waiting

[NapalmV5]

dammit.. now they announce 2GB ?

who sells palit in the usa ?

No one that I know of, unfortunately.

The cooler looks like this one:

Guru3D Pailit 260



Not a triple slot cooler like my R700

[dirtypop]

Actually more like this.

[LagunaX]

Always the frog...why the frog...why not something sexier or cooler than the frog?

[demonkevy666]

2gbs in nice but where can I get me one like the quadro 5800 with 4gbs ? with out the $3,150 price tag ???

I'd put that with 16gbs of ram(I know the foxconn destroyer can use that much )
but you'll be using phenom II for it. three of those is tri sli plus one for physic wow what price tag lol

What do you think would be better for 2560x1600 -- 2 of these or 2 GTX 295s?

Or maybe 3 of these?

3 of these. 3x GTX285 beats 2x GTX295.

Why have 4 GPUs when you can fit 8? What kind of PPD would a rig like that get.

[deathman20]

But you'd have to pump so much texture data / AA to actually use up that memory.
