Point of View Out With 2 GB GeForce GTX 285
NVIDIA partners seem to be gaining interest in releasing GeForce GTX 200 series products with double the amount of memory. Several partners have announced 1792 MB variants for the GTX 260 and GTX 275, while GTX 285 with its lavish 512-bit memory interface is facilitating 2 GB of memory. Point of View now has one such model of its own.
The card uses reference clock speeds as far as the GPU goes: 648 MHz (core) and 1476 MHz (shader), while going light with its memory, 1161 MHz against the reference speed of 1242 MHz. The rest of the card is pretty standard: 240 shader processors, acceleration for NVIDIA CUDA, and support for PhysX technology, and 3-way SLI support.

They should have just went for the uber l33t 4GB models. Nobody uses puny 2GB cards anymore...
That would make for a nice re-release of a card.
</sarcasm>
I've never heard of point of view, but that sticker looks pretty sweet.
gtx295 is only 10-15% faster than hd4870x2 in lower resolutions. In high res, high aa they perform the same (these cards are mostly used in high res - around 1920x1200 or 1080p). And they are both much faster than gtx285.
In 1920 and 8xaa, the hd4870x2 is the winner, not the gtx295.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wont this extra memory only really help when AA is on, coupled with big resolutions (2560 x 1600)? In which case people with those screens would most-likely have X2s/295s anyway.
