yes, we already know ... some people has it at home NOW! hahahahaa

How is that? The Duals are'nt even out yet.. hince the whole purpose of this thread.

[NeVeRLiFt]

I might try one of these out.

[Sr7]

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

You can't. NVIDIA doesn't support mismatched SLI groups.

It's not really a desirable "feature" either because it's just inviting microstutter with differently speced cards which will process frames at difference speeds.

[Carfax]

My step up window expires in exactly 30 days. Nvidia better hurry up and get these 55nm parts out the door!

[ewitte]

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

Thats what I think and I still don't see much more improvement on the newer cards over the 8800GTX I got years ago. If I'm upgrading I want 2-3x the performance at least.

new dual GTX 295 will be released at CES 2009, but reviews will be out in few days ...

Do you know when the 55nm single core cards will be released?

[OBR]

in december in shops, but officialy at CES 09

so are your saying we can buy one before CES 09

It's the Inquirer so I'm not sure if the points made in the article are valid

[HKPolice]

It's not 2GB 1024Bit because there isn't enough room for all the traces. DDR3 needs lots of extra space for 'timing' traces. Read: http://theovalich.wordpress.com/2008...ule-the-world/

The extra 4 memory chips required for 2GB 1024bit wouldn't provide enough performance boost to justify the extra heat either especially since those GPUs will be undervolted/underclocked just to keep them stable. (DDR3 outputs more heat than DDR5 too)

I hope you're right

[eric66]

and where from do ppl get info about ati launching there new cards in mid 09 ? lol

[bedlamite]

New cards = RV870 = mid 09.
But there will be some RV770 refresh meanwhile.

[eric66]

who says that any source or you are just telling me rumours ?

[RPGWiZaRD]

I'm sure it's all rumors but pretty strong rumors, there's ppl with info about it but they're not allowed to speak about it. Logically it makes sense too for a mid 09 launch.

Wonder what the prices for the NV 55nm parts will be? I'd guess $399 (read 399 ~ $429 on sites like newegg) on GTX 285 and $599 for GTX 295. I'm more interested in a 260GTX 55nm card and I wouldn't be suprised if launch price is $299. This should push GTX 280 to 349 ~ $379, GTX 260 Core 216 to $249 (not talking MIR) and normal GTX 260 to ~$199 I think. At least INQ was wrong about the "silent" 55nm replacement of 65nm cards release which I also doubted heavily, GTX 285 and 295 is so much more likely to happen.

Can I quote you on this when "a few days" passes by and the reviews of the actual retail parts aren't out?

[Blacky]

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.

that was exactly my first reaction when I was reading the article

ok, that not be a retail product review, but performance preview ...

[yaddam205]

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

Agreed, bring back the fast single GPU!

or multi-core GPU

[Jethro]

No doubt this card will be a ideal for those in colder climates!

the real cause of global warming ?!
we need info on r870 as well :>

[Buckeye]

If this can be setup as Quad SLI will it work on X58 MB's ?

It could be for some strange reason that I do not know but even 1x 9800GX2 does not want to work on my EVGA X58, forget Quad. I was told there was a NVIDA Chip missing on the MB to support Quad.

... waiting for someone to come and preach how "GPU is already multicore lol! There are hundreds of small cores working in parallel! "



Someone, go ahead.
