ZOTAC serves up its take on the world's fastest single graphics card - GeForce GTX 295
HEXUS.net : News —
... , NVIDIA just launched the GeForce GTX 295 - a graphics card that has stripped AMD's Radeon HD 4870 X2 of the single-card performance crown. Unlike other recent graphics card launches, NVIDIA's new champ is actually available to buy, with a number of retailers already showing stock - albeit at potentially inflated launch-day prices. As you'd expect, NVIDIA's long list of partners are queueing up to get their chunk of the pie, and though we've yet to see a pre-overclocked model, Hong Kong's ZOTAC is fresh out the gate with a better-looking GeForce GTX 295 bundle. Available in ...
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295: post-launch pricing comparison
HEXUS.net : News —
UK availability After being forced to watch AMD bask in the limelight of the Radeon HD 4870 X2 , NVIDIA was yesterday able to reclaim the single-card graphics performance crown with the stupidly-fast GeForce GTX 295 . Our in-depth review highlighted the card's ability to knock out ludicrous framerates across our suite of games, but, as is often the case with launch-day products, inflated etailer prices had us all collectively saying "thanks, but no thanks". With prices creeping up as high as £460, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 295 managed to single-handedly make AMD's ...

NVIDIA (GIGABYTE) GeForce GTX 285 - another high-end contender
HEXUS.net : News —
Introduction Exactly this time last week, NVIDIA managed to reclaim the crown of "fastest single graphics card" with a super-quick tag-team card of its own; the GeForce GTX 295 . Arriving with huge performance and a similarly-huge asking price, the card's sole purpose was to topple AMD's Radeon HD 4870 X2. Having achieved its goal, NVIDIA can now set about hyping its second GTX 200-series product to be built on a 55nm half-node process, the GeForce GTX 285. Judging by the name's similar pattern to the GeForce GTX 295, one could be forgiven into believing this to be a dual-GPU ...

... and 395 GeForce GTX 295 . NVIDIA, however, knows that it won't sell too many of these cards through a range of partners, and the very fact that it now has, arguably, the fastest single- and dual-GPU cards is reason enough for their introduction. Lulling the enthusiast who's just eyed up another student loan with sybaritic pleasure, we take a look at two cards that cost over 350 each. BFG's heavily-overclocked GeForce GTX 285 OCX and ZOTAC's GeForce GTX 295 are on the hitlist. Read on to find out which makes the most sense, if you have the moolah. ...
EVGA releases GeForce GTX 285 For The Win
HEXUS.net : News —
... , but surmised that GeForce GTX 285 pricing, currently between 310 and 375, was too close to the range-topping dual-GPU GeForce GTX 295 for it to be a real contender in the high-end space. Still, that hasn't stopped NVIDIA's partners engaging in case of one-upmanship, with EVGA now releasing the GeForce GTX 285 FTW (For The Win), clocked in at 722MHz core, 1,670MHz shader, and a blistering 2,772MHz memory, made possible by the use of some tasty 0.8ns RAM. It compares favourably with the stock frequencies of 648/1,476/2,484MHz, but the obvious thorn in the side will be price, ...
BFG GeForce GTX 295 H2O: chillin' with the champ

... boards, this H2O edition was seemingly inevitable. Over to the other side and there's a big serving of deja vu - you're looking at an identical PCB that's connected to the other via internal SLI. Why? Well, pure unadulterated framerate domination. If you're unfamiliar with the inner workings of a GeForce GTX 295, NVIDIA has essentially paired two 55nm GTX 200-based GPUs into a single package to create the single fastest graphics solution in the world. Unconvinced? Refer to our in-depth review to see just how quick this monstrosity really is. We, meanwhile, are more interested ...

... , the ultra-high-end space remains crowned by NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 295 . NVIDIA's monster, launched back in January, still holds the single-card performance crown and if you're after some of that souped-up dual-GPU action, Inno3D has an upcoming derivative dubbed the GeForce GTX 295 Platinum Edition. The card, pictured above, sports Inno3D's custom cooling solution and is the first GeForce GTX 295 to be built on a single PCB (printed circuit board) - confirming the ...
AMD ATI Radeon HD 5870 DX11 graphics-card reviewed and rated
HEXUS.net : News —
... in August 2008, ostensibly two HD 4870 GPUs positioned on one board, AMD's fought with NVIDIA's GeForce GTX line of cards for mid-range and high-end supremacy. Released in January 2009, the also-dual-GPU GeForce GTX 295 still carries the mantle of fastest consumer graphics card in the world. Now transitioned on to a single PCB, it yours for 'just' 330. We reckon that the absence of a new, faster architecture has hamstrung both companies who practically own the discrete GPU market, as there's nothing like a new design to ensure that enthusiasts chomp at the bit. Carrying ...
Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 in CrossFireX: say hello to our little friends
HEXUS.net : News —
... successor the Radeon HD 5870. Going by the codename of Hemlock, the Radeon HD 5870 X2 will squeeze two RV800 GPUs into a single package when it arrives later this year, creating a somewhat inelegant monstrosity that should, in theory, eat benchmarks for breakfast. Putting a pair of Radeon HD 5870s side-by-side in a CrossFireX configuration should give us an indication of what the Radeon HD 5870 X2 will be capable of. Let's take a look, and let's see if such a card could dethrone NVIDIA's dual-GPU GeForce GTX 295 as the fastest single graphics card on offer. ...
