NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 and GeForce GTX 295 Launch Dates Announced

[spearman914]

You have a 4870 x2 that can play Crysis at 1920x1200 with "Everything" maxed out? I'm talking all the antiailiasing and every setting available to it's highest possible not just "very high" I know mine can't do that but I havn't seen the 280ies in triple sli but I really don't think they could do it eather. Also, I've searced the web and I see some say the 295 has only 10% performance increase and others say much more, we will just have to wait and see. But Dude if you can prove your 4870 x2 can do Crysis "ALL SETTINGS" maxed at 1920x1200 or higher please post a pic for me.

I meant maxed out by maxed settings but not AA of course and it was at 1650 x 1080 res. And i forgot if i ran at DX9 or DX10.1.

Holy moly can you imagine if one GTX295 can beat a 4870 x2 then a quad sli set up with
2 of them would be freaking outrageous performance like you could probubly play crysis
with 1920 x 1200 fully maxed out and get playable frame rates. MAYBE!!

not with power supply requirements, youd have to run them in a commercial environment, not the retail market, after 2 cards at least.

I still can't wait to step-up my GTX260 to the GTX285 for free!

gotta love eVGA

Still waiting on the response of how to get a free step up

eVGA does whats called a step up program. I almost did it for my 8800 card but didn't have the money.

power requirements

I meant 2xGTX 295 in sli because there are 2 processors on each PCB so it would be a quad sli. You thought I meant 4 cards.

 

[newtekie1]

I plan on doing the same, but for free?!

HOLY CRAP! How are you doing that m8???????

Still waiting on the response of how to get a free step up

eVGA's step-up program and an invoice that says I paid $399 for my GTX260. Got to love invoices that list the original price before rebates.

 

[erocker]

I see. I guess I'm shelling out $150 bucks then.

 

[a_ump]

just curious but am i the only one to just now notice that GTX280's are $324 bucks, only 50 bucks more than a GTX 260, and that the GTX 260 55nm are already out?

 

[hv43082]

Is it time to upgrade my HD 4870x2 already? Damn it! I just bought Gateway P 7811.

 

[$ReaPeR$]

do you guys really need smth more than an 4870x2??????!!!!!!!!!! if you can get it , get it but do you really need it?

 

[newtekie1]

No, I don't need it, which is why I'm getting the GTX285.

There are some out there that just have to have the best of the best though. You can bet there will be people with two GTX295's.

Personally, I am tired of dual-GPU setups, too many hassles. I'll be sticking with single GPU setups for a while.

so are you 1 that always needs BB, those that need it have the BB syndrom which in turn leaves them in debt. Thats what i like about PCs, you can balance the requirements to your needs and wants.

im thinking of upgrading my 8800 GT to a GTX 280, after the prices drop and stabilize. what do you guys think? anyone have the GTX 280 and any suggestions about it. i'll post a thread about this in a week or so after prices equalize.

might aswell take it a step further with the 285/295, since they claim to draw less power if im not mistaken.

+1 on that. i totally agree with you

No, I'm not one of those that always needs BB, read my first sentence.

I've gone single and dual GTX280. I loved both. I have a single 280 right now, and I can say with confidence it's the best video card I've ever owned. Far better than the 4870x2.

bleh, that will leave you in debt.

Ok this is Crysis your talking about, that F##King game could bring down NORAD. Bill Gates super computer would probably give him the finger if he played crysis on it.

 

[Binge]

I play max settings on 16x10 and I bet you if I could play on 19x12 I'd still get at least 30 fps since I get 40-50 fps now with a single GTX280. Anyway I'm preaching more about system optimization. You get that down and Crysis ain't so bad.

 

[eidairaman1]

EarthSim Machine would give them the finger.

Good point, this is a wild tangent, but COD 4 states it will not play on an AMD XP, well i have a card that is well beyond their min spec, CPU is at 2.2GHz vs 1.867 (M2500 OC to 3200) after changing a .asi file to a .bak the game runs without crashing, and to my amazement the machine runs that Game Excellent in MP (auto settings do set the game high)

I can say ive done some system tweaks that people never think to try (ones that are service related are the major players)

thanks for the input,

i want see on hand tests
