GeForce GTX295 Card Exposed

[AbelJemka]

Like AMD doesn't do that, oh wait.

Contrary to Nvidia, never seen claims showing AMD ever did that

[Sampsa]

It's now 18th of December here in Finland. Here is my GeForce GTX 295 preview with NVIDIA's slides & pics. Waiting for sample:





Estimated price in US: $499

Why this one only needs 1X6 pin and 1X8 pin power connector when this is equivalent to 2 GTX260. Any pricing on this?

it has 240 SPs per gpu so it isn't equivalent to a GTX 260

and 55 nm manufacturing process.

[Envydia007]

gosh, im a noob. this card is a force ! any ideas on pricing guys?

$499 doesn't sound too bad to me.

[GAR]

I will be picking up 2 of these when they come out, putting my 4870x2 on ebay a week before release.

forgot that too

[Flinch]

I know this is the 295 thread, but does anyone know if the nda lifts tomorrow as well for the 285?

[Cold Fussion]

And the 265

[Sampsa]

Only GTX 295, there won't be 265.

[YukonTrooper]

Only GTX 295, there won't be 265.

The NDA won't be lifted on the 265, or there won't be any 265 at all?

[GAR]

there will be no GTX 265, nvidia is using the same name, gtx 260 for the 55nm part, there will be gtx 285 and gtx 295.

[LordEC911]

He's not dreaming much.. he's within $50 on the 295. i got sources!

Or not...

Estimated price in US: $499

28ROPs is a typo I am assuming...

[gamervivek]

Or not...


28ROPs is a typo I am assuming...

should have been 56 like they did for shaders and TMUs,maybe they just don't add up.

They do though...

[Macadamia]

Or not...


28ROPs is a typo I am assuming...

ROPs are bundled with the memory controller channels, so if you disable one 64-bit channel you'd have to kill 4 ROPs (per chip)

[Flinch]

Only GTX 295

Thanks, guess we have time then before the 285 shows itself.....I'm just impatient and fear NDA lasting until CES.

[ecidious]

Would anyone getting this be able to test performance/bottlenecking while the card (single card) is in an 8x PCI-e 2.0 slot or 16x 1.1 slot? I've got a RAID card and my P45 motherboard drops to 8x/8x with both the RAID and GPU cards used so I'd like to see what affect if any the limited speed might have. I'm either going for the 285 or 295 depending on price/performance

[Macadamia]

^
Better get the 285 then.

P45 is PCie 2.0, but 8x for a dual GPU = 4x 2.0 per chip = 8x 1.1 per chip = STILL DO NOT WANT.

You'll see a difference, definitely.

Found this picture, shows more than the picture from guru3D

Looks good

PRJ

Wow doesn't look any bigger then a Dual PCB card.

be the first... if new NV cards aint overpriced

No it won't be the first. The 8800GTS 512 was priced good when it was first released.

[Jowy Atreides]

No it won't be the first. The 8800GTS 512 was priced good when it was first released.

£175 for mine back then, it was equivelant to $350 - yikes

[Envydia007]

I will wait for the actual performance review because $499 is ok with me,

[Stukov]

You may want to do that fast, I have a feeling that the 4870X2 is going to drop to about 400-450 in price.
