ASUS Designs Own Monster Dual-GTX 285 4 GB Graphics Card

[Fitseries3]

3 of these would fold like theres no tomorrow..... let alone the 45k in 3dm vantage i'll have....

expect a few of these to show up at my house pretty quickly.

 

[Mussels]

I tell you this, my next system will be Intel based, and I must... must have one of them cards!

Asus fan boy?

H*ll yes!

quad socket nehalem EX (64 threads) minimum 24GB of ram, and two of those in SLI.
Oh and 8 256GB SSD's in raid.
and then buy me one.


anything less would starve this card of its required awesome factor.
(and dont forget the 3000W PSU)

Has anyone still not noticed the unrealistic clocks?

Dang. youve got an oil rig at the back o yer house?

We're too caught up in the awesomeness tornado!!!! WHIRL WHIRL WHIRL!

 

[wolf2009]

Is it just me or are the overclocks extremely unrealistic.

There is no way a GT200 is capable of 833 core and 1861 shaders. That and the memory is far too slow for a GTX 285

Has anyone still not noticed the unrealistic clocks?

Voltage tweaked probably.

There could be other reasons too, like change in stock cooler, using WC or something.

if you think its a tornado now, wait til people start getting 4 of em in a PC WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR goes the fans.

Time to strap a box fan to the side of your case

"Yeah, my case is cooled entirely by one fan"

 

[btarunr]

Yes, those clocks are unreal for that cooler.

I suspect water / Dice pot on that with some daft voltage tweaks. Its like they do with car adverts - "the brand new Ford Crazymobile from only £6,995" - They show you a model with gorgeous alloys, metallic paint, a sporty looking spoiler, yet the small print says "Model shown Ghia 1337 model starting from £9,995". Its just a way of tempting buyers in.

You think it has dice on it? You don't customize cards before you buy them though. I bet its air/water with voltage tweaks, and if it runs hot... *shrugs.

 

[Mussels]

alright i'm going to admit this, due to a little confusion.

is this just a custom 285, or is this a DUAL 285 - four GPU's. cause the screenshot says 4 GPU's on the GPU-Z page.

the screenshot says 4 because two of these cards are running in quad sli. imagine this cards physical appeareance like a gtx 295

Good question, 4 would be rather insane, I thought a 285 had 2 physical gpus though, I only see 2 gpus on the die.

In games NO ! since it`s GDDR3 , the performance might actually drop in some games .Take HD4870 for example . The card uses GDDR5 , and you barely see any difference between the 512 and 1024 version , just in really high resolutions when you run out of buffer . But again , no big difference.

some what true but there are small differences between th 512mb > 1024mb cards & it all depends on how you run your games. from my understanding running with 16xAA is better with a 1024mb card due to the space available to buffer/store all the textures.

Depending on the resolutions, settings u play at & also games. you may see upto 3-5fps increase. but for performance boosts on anything above 1024mb then thats still debatable but from what I have read it hardly makes any difference at all unless u play at super high resolutions on a 40-60" monitor. - its all debatable.

 

[Mussels]

512MB to 1GB isnt about gaining FPS, its preventing the sudden slideshow when you run out.

Run a gaming PC with 4GB of ram and drop to 1GB - everything goes slow and stuttery when you run out. its not about boosting FPS over 512MB cards, its about preventing the slowdown when you run out of memory.

same goes for 2/4GB cards.

 

[W1zzard]

that's what can happen if you give the card to hardcore pro overclocker who's not afraid of the rma department. and no i doubt he's not using air. note how it says "done by kinc"

edit: lolforgot to insert a "not"

This is with liquid nitrogen thermal solution installed on the cards. I didnt have time to insluate well enough so cards are only running -40C with 1.175V set via software (up from 1.15V). There is headroom

Imagine the trouble 32bit users would have running this.

Well now that explains it

Any chance of a real world bench (i.e stock clocks? Or Air OC?)

Maybe just one card?

That pic screams of e-penis.

 

[Polarman]

i think is a collector's edition

My guess too. You see 1/1000 on the picture.

Makes me remember of the 1950XTX Uber edition that had ony 500 card made.

Yeah kyle2020 suggested dice, I was kinda questioning the suggestion since there was not space for it. It makes me oogle though.

Why do I have to be broke?!?!
