Water Block for GTX 295

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

UNRIVALED!!!

[LockBreaker]

I received an E-mail from EK today, and they said they would probably have a block for the GTX 295 ready within two weeks.

Hopefully.

Thanks lockbreaker for the info

$200 at least is my guess...Hard to believe why anyone would jump on this refresh.

No kidding! Talk about slow progress in innovation.

If that's the case, it would be $700 for a water cooled GTX 295

Imagine how much for quad sli

SHHHH the $700 will help the economy

Well I received confirmation today that we will have 285 and 295 blocks, we should see them available in 2-3 weeks .

No pictures yet though.

[LockBreaker]

Come on Dean.

Show us some pics/skethces, even though you don't have any.

People will buy it.


Hell, im running a 1100 dollar GPU sector with X2's on Xfire.

Swiftech has a good approach on the 4870 with the MCW60-4870. Maybe the same principle can be modified and applied to cut down on the amount of material needed.

[Patriote]

Paid 1400$ for my 8800GTX OC2 and 2 Ek FC Blocks back in the days... So it should be around that price for Quad SLI... ?

[theseeker]

Just my 2 cents. Two 280's will outperform a 295 @ about the same cost give or take a few bucks. The 295 is not worth the money and simply a way for nV to compete with ATI based on a single card solution.
I recently upgraded from two 8800 GTX's to two 280's mainly because I wanted to drive a 30" screen with all possible eye candy, and it worked.
nV always finds a way to support the SLI configs.
The 295 is a band-aid and a way to sell VC's. The VC producers always find a way to bridge the gap between the next gen proc's.
No matter what you do or what you build, the next gen is right around the corner. Once again just my 2 cents.

Not sure where your buying your V Cards, but that's a whole lot of give and take to the tune of 200.00 USD. I don't disagree about 2 280's beating 1 295, but that's hardly apples to apples comparision. If the 280 was worth 500.00 when it first came out, a 295 damn sure is. No V Card maker is going to double performance from one generation card to the next, those days are long gone if they ever existed.

too bad for nvidia the 4870x2 beats the 295 clearly when using 1680x1050 or higher.

August 2008 released 4870x2 > January 09 released 295 = epic nvidia fail

That was random.

It helps to be a long term buyer, double discount coupons and the code.

since hell froze over and pigs started flying

Snipe When UPS brings mine Tuesday we'll have my card against yours on all the games we both have. 1650x1280 and 1920x1080 8XAA in any game you want

so you cant read reviews? our systems are hardly equal... although I guess I'll go for it

read it and weep, you picked the wrong card: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=213789

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I just read one on Guru3D and I didn't see where the red card beat the green card, other way around on most games at high res. 295 looks like a big win for Nvidia to me.

andyc

read the one that has the new ATI drivers, big difference there, really big.

Snipedog,
You really are a Fanboy. The 4870x2 is a very good card, but the GTX 295 seems to beat it in most of the reviews I've seen.

Personally, I hope ATI comes back with something better and the competition for the best card continues. Its the best thing for the end users.
