Oy? Less than previously announced!

Eh WTF?


There is so much article correcting others than its a massive 240x2 SP... WTH is going on???!!!

[kisslu]

Wrong timing. World in financial & economic crisis, $$$ problem now. I want to sell my GT260 for pocket money..........

Nvidia is saying that why need extra Shaders when gtx 260 SLI can beat 4870 crossfire. With 55nm die shrink and newer driver, u bet gtx 295 will beat 4870x2 for shizzle. The problem is gtx 280 has no competitor, and thats why it cost twice as much as gtx 260. Now, who needs more of works?

EPAAAA.. so I was right when I said that gtx 295 is nothing but 2 gtx 260 in SLI.
Well ladies and gentleman, looks like we will have a new king...
King of all categories...
Heat, price, performance (err... only 5 percent more than 4870x2?)and maybe consumption too...

Why? becuase with 240x2 SP with only 289W TDP is impressive...


Now they reduced to 216x2 and the TDP remain 289W... What impression does it gives?

240x2 SP with 289W TDP is a hoax!

There's two things that are a bit strange about those GTX 285 specs.

1) IIRC, the Shaders can only be clocked in 54 MHz steps. In this case that would be either 1458 MHz or 1512 MHz, 1276 is not possible.

2) A default memory clock of 1242 (2484 DDR) sounds a bit high, considering it's probably GDDR3. Can't exclude the possibility though.

Otherwise, those specs are realistic.

Wow.After all you sound as "clever" as i thought you'd be.
Where did you get that the 260gtx sli can beat the 4870?
And the 280gtx doesn't have a competitor...?

So you tell people to stfu.........
Why didn't you respond to me in the previous thread where i posted some benchmarks to show how the 4870 does against N-vidia's cards and how much difference the new 180.48 driver brings?
Or you just throw your dirty words on people and run away....

The 295gtx will win where 216core in sli wins against the 4870x2 and will lose where 216core in sli loses.Considering that it will perform as 2 216core cards in sli since it's two 216 core cards in a package with a sli bridge connecting them.
The 4870x2 competes against 2 280gtx's in sli.So it's probably going to end up faster than the 295gtx in most games.

Here's how the 4870x2 performs against 280gtx/sli in fallout 3 with the latest drivers from both ATI and N-vidia:


The Witcher.


Stalker.


Devil may cry4 which is one of my favorite games this year.


Race driver GRID.


It will lose in crysis.since the games doesn't scale well with ATI cards neither in a single setup nor ina X-fire setup.


I couldn't find a similar test with Far Cry 2.But i hope this comparison between the 4870 and the 280gtx will do:

The news is now available in English language. A nice service, isn't it?

I quote myself to say that the image with the specs has been changed three hours after i posted.

Konkort dude, you could at least have dropped an edit note, saying that you edited the initial post.

lol Fudzilla anounces how GRINCH(the green nvidia) stole the Christmas and then got robbed

4850X2 @ only 271Euros

[slim142]

Does this mean I will be able to run 2 285s in SLI with my TX750?

So its finallised that GTX295 has 240SPs right? Good finally all the confusion are at least clarified...

Nobody can tell you that definitely!
