and the price?? €600+?!

[Warboy]

Those specs don't seem right. So it has full shaders of a GTX 280, but the Bus of a GTX 260? What type of sense does that make. Why not be something like

The name: GeForce GTX 295
GPU: two 55nm GT200
Shader: 480(240X2)
Memory: 1024bit(512bitX2), 1512MB GDDR3

or this....

GPU: two 55nm GT200
Shader: 432(216X2)
Memory: 896bit(448bitX2), 1344MB GDDR3

That would make better sense but oh well.

and the price?? €600+?!

maybe a month after launch if availability is good. Im shure alot of shops will raise the prices at start trying to milk as much money as possible.

and the price?? €600+?!

maybe around 4870x2

January 9 is a bit too late to rival the HD4870X2. RV870 should be on the doorstep by then.

What it doesn't make sense is the specs. It has all the shaders (240) of a GTX280 and the bandwidth of a GTX260? Why are they cutting the bandwidth? To save PCB space?

[Katanai]

Hm... Looks like a monster to me.

[dinos22]

WOW

I already said this.

June is close to January for you?

You kidding? That's not going to come out until mid 09 at earliest.

Maybe memory bandwidth isn't the biggest bottleneck.. there's nothing that which states that using the full chip and all SP's requires the higher bus bandwidth.. non sequitur.

haha there's always a hater in every nvidia thread

[dinos22]

haha there's always a hater in every nvidia thread

you make it out as if there is just one

over the years i'd estimate that at least a third of posters tend to hate it one way or another lol

fanboys heh

fanboys heh

You should'nt say the f word, It will summon Dave!

[jaredpace]

wonder if the 4870x2 will still be faster....

hahah

[largon]

Multi GPU -> boring.
And it's definitely a dual-PCB solution.
*yawn*

lol i cant wait till people here are doing 4 way sli with these these cards.. im either going to get this or a 4870 if the price drops

The drivers have to be there to support it tho.. quad sli as it is today.. the scaling is horrible. I hope they can improve upon it.

bad driver support wont stop people,s e-penises................

What happened to the 'dual gpu, screw it' mentality?

i just want to see some one go quad sli with these i wouldnt do it my self...and as far dual gpu,s it depends how well it scales to make me buy it sli and crossfire are scaling better than they used to

NVIDIA is preparing the GeForce GTX 295 and GTX 285 cards for launch on January 8th at CES 2009. According to the official data VR-Zone has seen, GeForce GTX 295 card has dual 55nm GT200 GPUs and 1792MB GDDR3 memories on 896-bit memory interface. The rest of the specs like number of shader processors and clocks speeds are listed as TBA. As for GeForce GTX 285, it is a replacement for the current GeForce GTX 280 card with a 55nm GT200 GPU with a higher clocks. Therefore, GeForce GTX 280 cards will reach EOL in a month time. As for GeForce GTX 260, Nvidia has released design kits to the card makers and you should be seeing some self-designed cards in Q1 next year.

[jasonelmore]

I wonder if someone could use one of these dual 280's with another single 280? anyone know the awnser to that one?

[Chad Boga]

So Nvidia want a slice of the microstuttering market.
