MSI GeForce GTX 295 Pictured, Almost Ready to Ship

malware · Jan 8, 2009

Micro Star International (MSI) is the next bug computer company that launches own branded GeForce GTX 295 video card. The N295GTX-M2D1792 is standard in all ways, it follows NVIDIA's dual-GPU reference design, cooling and clock speeds. The two GPUs are set to 576MHz, the shaders work at 1242MHz and the 1792MB of GDDR3 memory is clocked at 1998MHz. The card hasn't reached the stores just yet, but that's about to change very soon.

MSI, seriously need a new mascot picture for their vga cards.

stefanels · Jan 8, 2009

Nice looking card... and YES, MSI does need a new mascot picture because this is way to old already...

Was wondering whether this works with ATI crossfire motherboards?

If yes then i'm gonna get this !

It's working... but only in sigle mode and NOT in SLI

So if i buy this 295 card it will work on the crossfire motherboard, but 2 of the same cards won't work right?

That's right... you must have a SLI compatible mobo (with nForce SLI chipset or X58) and NOT a CrossFire mobo (like P35, P45, X48)...

Going to be insanly expensive, but want to see it relesed so i can see it in peoples rigs.

Thats not true at all, all the work is done on the card. Otherwise a 9800gx2 wouldn't work properly on a p35.

the sticker makes it sooooooooo ugly :ohwell:

HaZe303 · Jan 8, 2009

Maybe this is already known to all of you, but to me it seems the GTX 295 is made of two GTX260´s?? Atleast if you compare the clocks, but as I said, all of you propably already knew that?

Just to be clear, why I was wondering is because I thought the GTX 295 was to be a GTX280 X2 card?

Sort of a hybrid. Has a similar core to the 280, but the same clocks/RAM amount as a 260.

AltecV1 · Jan 8, 2009

gtx 295 is two gtx 280!!!!NOT gtx 260.make it clear for yourself:shadedshu

It's way too old, and they need to use a different picture for newer card at least...

If you was right, the 295 should have higher clocks and 2gb ram, it only has 1792 ram and 575mhz core clock.

AltecV1 · Jan 9, 2009

HOW MUCH dose gtx 260 hace shaders 216!!!!!!!gtx 295 has 480.so how is it two gtx 260!!!!!!!
THINK before you speak:shadedshu

Grings · Jan 9, 2009

...and this (and gtx 260) both use a 448 bit memory interface (per gpu), wheras the gtx280 uses a 512 bit interface...

AltecV1 · Jan 9, 2009

all you say is that it uses gtx260 pcb and it memory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BUT THE CORE IS GTX280 just UNDERCLOCKED :banghead:

that was nvidias marketing tool to but it on the 260 pcb BUT the core is 285!!then they can say that look how fast is 2 260 against 2 4870 :mad:

THE TRUTH IS THAT IT IS JUST 2 GTX 285 ON GTX260 pcb............... i thaught that you tech guys will now that but i was wrong:shadedshu
Sorry for bad english

It has a similar core to the GTX 280, GTX 260 clocks and RAM configuration.

A GTX 295 is NOT two 280s. It's a hybrid card. It would be nice if you made things clear the first time rather than correcting yourself afterwards and saying we don't know anything...

OK but i hate peaple how say it is two 260 because it not :rolleyes:
