2 EVGA GTX295 : First 3D numbers

[Pedro Rocha]

OK, it's January 8th here, so I guess the NDA is over.

Here are the first 3DMark numbers with 2 stock EVGA GTX295

It is not possible yest to publish GTX295 scores in the ORB - don't recognize the Graphics Card say its 'Generic VGA'

I'm using the dam Vista of course for QuadSLI, with 185.20 drivers.

The drivers are quite new and of course perfornance are expecting with next drivers..

OK, let's see the results.


I7 920 Air Cooled

For the firts contact I do an All Air run

Setup:
- I7 920 @ 4.2GHz Air Cooled (True Copper)
- EVGA X58 SLI
- 2 x EVGA GTX295



32K Vantage with air cooled I7 920 seems promissing



I7 965 @ Mini-Cascade

Setup:
- I7 965 Cooled by the mini-cascade
- Rampage II
- 2 X EVGA GTX295

3D Mark Vantage



Low clocks there is obviously margin for improvement..


3DMark 2006




3D Mark 2003




For 2005 have to reinstall the dam Vista .. with XP can run 2005 at near 5.2Ghz and with this Vista giving all sort of problems above 5Ghz.. :-(


Next will do some single cards - did a very quick test in My Favourite Game with a E8600 @ 4.4 (not even secure de cooler) and Nature reach near 1.500 - think is time to remonunt E8600 with Rampage Extreme in Mini-Cascade


Hope your enjoy this quick 3D runs of the GTX295

Looks sick. Does much heat come out of those metal fins on top of the card?

[stangracin2]

yeah temps?

No, not all - in fact the cards are quite cool - around 40ºC idle / 65ºC load

sweet, that was my big beef with 9800gx2.
joining the club tomorrow hopefully, assuming usps dont lie.
now where's vince!?

[T_M]

Sweet thanks Pedro!
Were you just running a single silverstone PSU?

[Pedro Rocha]

Sweet thanks Pedro!
Were you just running a single silverstone PSU?

Yes - single Silverstone 1200W is more than enought.

The power consumption of the GTX295's .. a friend did some tests with complete PC (Quad Core Q9550, Vista 64, sigle EVGA GTX295) here the consumption with PC in idle :





Just 145W !! - that's very environmental friendly

[jasonelmore]

To the OP..Your loosing a lot of bandwidth running those 295's that way. The bottom white slot is only going at 8X

You probably already knew that but just thought i would point it out.

[boblemagnifique]

Great work pedro !!

I wait a 2K1 on single (your favorite benchmark ) and the 2K5

Envoy !!

[cadaveca]

Pedro, do you have the USB key in when benching? If so, did you check to see if it has an effect on Vantage? What about with Readyboost?

[Pedro Rocha]

No .. it's just to transfer files with results to my main PC

[jasonelmore]

Also do you know what one single GTX 295 will score in vantage in the performance preset?

[cadaveca]

OKie. Just because alot of users will have these options on...I know you're not one to quibble over a few points unless '01...thanks.

[Blacky]

Impressive power consumption/temps and impressive scores keep pushing it !!

[eva2000]

Very nice indeed especially the power consumption!

[TheKarmakazi]

<- that about sums it up

[SIOUX]

Nice one my friend now get that Xp installed, and lets see some REAL benchmark cough cough 01 cough

[dpa]

nice scores Pedro! The vista 5Ghz thing is a known problem according to Andre. Vista seems to hate over 5Ghz on i7..

give us some 01 action with 295 under cold!

[Kabauterman]

Nice Work Pedro!

Realy nice Vantage Score for Aircooled Cards!

does the Kingpin Tek 9 4.0 SLIM fits on this Cards too?

[K404]

Is the GPU score in vantage scaling with CPU?!??

Other scores...not great, CPU bottleneck no doubt.

Thanks for sharing!

Also-> *shock* that you're the first to share, not Vince!

[dan7777]

how come theres 2 cards benchmarked and NOT 1 card most folks will only buy 1 unless rich lol

[SoF]

wow thoose cards have some power thanks for first results of thoose nice piece of GPU

[adamsleath]

Yes - single Silverstone 1200W is more than enought.

so i can run it with my 620hx then?

[dstedman]

They are saying you should have 50A on the 12V line for a single 295gtx, and the 620HX has 60A. So it looks like YES! Which makes me happy, because I also have the 620HX, and am looking to do an EVGA step-up.

[hiwa]

nice start and thanks for sharing info pedro i will wait to see some 01 and crazy nature
