EVGA Releases GeForce GTX 285 FTW Edition - 720MHz / 1620MHz / 2772MHz

[BababooeyHTJ]

People are having a hard time reaching 750MHz with vanilla and SC cards. I don't think I've seen anyone reach it yet that wasn't using an SSC, but even then that was only 1 person.

So most of these vanilla and sc cards dont run faster than my 280 which will run 725/1512/1295 and they're not any faster clock for clock?

[gOJDO]

nope there is no IPC improvements in the 55nm chip. it's just a dumb shrink. so at same clocks GTX 285 and GTX 280 are performing same.

[BuBBle.D]

My EVGA GTX285 will do 756 on the core but only if i leave the shaders at 1599. Anything above 1600 makes the card unstable.

monster card

finally (in the last time) an oc card which deserves the name

[SKYMTL]

That is basically the same core clock as the BFG GTX 285 OCX had before they changed it at the last minute. Supposedly the binning process would have left them with hardly any stable chips so they backed down the clocks to 702Mhz.

[AuDioFreaK39]

As the highest clocked single-GPU card, this really is Nvidia's cream of the crop card. The "Nvidia GPU" as we know it, has evolved over 16 years into this masterpiece. GT212 and GT300 are next.

[ToTTenTranz]

Gee.. extra 100$ is enough to buy an additional 9800GT for physx.

720 from the factory is kinda nutz.

i bet that why eVGA is charging so much for it. man though - you KNOW you have the highest binned chip when you buy one of those.

i wonder if you would be able to get any higher shader clock out of one of these Vs. an SSC.

my SSC will run 1692 shader COD stable - any higher and i'll get random lock-ups.

[Splave]

Nope, and I just locked in Left 4 Dead at these settings:

check the special voltage in nibitor, I had 2 dud clocker 260s maxed 734/1512 max and 1 that did 774/1548 and the duds special voltage was 1.06v stock and the great clocker was 1.12v. Flashed the other 2 to 1.12 and now they all run 783/1568 in triple sli

[dengyong]

Vmodded though right?

No mods at all, plain vanilla zotac.

[trinibwoy]

Wont all gtx 285s run that speed ?

I max out at 702/1585 - SSC speeds. Can't get through 3dmark06 any higher.

[TheKarmakazi]

Plain vanilla.

How does that prove anything? Why dont you loop 3dm06 and show us a screenie. That says nothing.

I have nothing to prove but here are some bench results, no tweaks, nothing turned off in background.

I've come to expect more from XS and OCF. If someone posts something, I tend to believe it unless it sounds crazy.

check the special voltage in nibitor...

Nah, I'm just gonna return it here eventually.

+1 for this post.

If he is lying, at the end of the day the only person hes hurting is himself.

That’s always something that blows my mind. The witch hunting that goes on, on the internet.

[Jodiuh]

And by telling the truth he hurts me. I'm going to inny minny miny mo the next card...you'll see!

Your present card wont go above stock clocks at all, core, shader or mem ?

[Jodiuh]

Nope. And it locks up from time to time @ stock. I blame the slit on the package from the box cutter when they stocked it. I saw it, knew it was an omen, but ignored it anyway.

[T_Flight]

If they come out with a watercooled version of this card, they need to call it the EVGA GTX285 Complete Ownage Edition. Man, I'm not EVEN kidding. These cards rock man. They're awesome.

[Leeghoofd]

Just got my card, currently running ATI tool on it 730/1663 seems no issue for this vanilla card, at 740 GPU clock I get artifacts... maybe the voltage tuner can release some more there...



Sad thing is I can't run no benchmarks on it, not even at stock... need to figure out if it's due to the UD5 board or XP64 ( was running fine with the GTX 280 ) or is it a combo of all 3 lol...

We managed to score a picture of the water block that will cool down the upcoming EVGA GTX 285 HC.

The Hydro Copper water block is a bit different than on the EVGA GTX 280 HC card that we've had a chance to test, as it is a bit longer. This is understandable as Nvidia changed a lot on the design of its GTX 285, and partners had to design the water block from scratch.

We still don't know the specifications of this card, but we expect a massive factory overclock as these water blocks can keep the temperature at bay even with higher clocks.

Denyoung can you rerun your card at 715/1629/1300 plz, you got one blistering card there mate



Trying to go higher think my card will cap out at 720Mhz...

and indeed it did , it locks on me in the forest test... once EVGA gets their voltage control tool out I'll try to hunt for more...

[Ozzfest05]

In canada at the vendors ive looked at the 295 is only like 40 dollars more I dont see the point in getting a 285 FTW but thats just me

it needs a little more vcore just like evgas ssc/ftw which are overvolted

a 47k resistor (~1.25v) will take your 285 ~750core/~1700shader/~1500mem stable

once the core/shader gets more voltage your mem goes higher

Thought so, thanks for the info Card currently caps out at 715Mhz for 3dmark stability, Furmark and ATI tool go up to 730/1663... hope EVGA will release that overvoltage tool soon for these cards...
