A Closer Look

The cooling assembly has been changed slightly. It still cools the GPU, memory and several other chips.


You may combine several GTX 285 cards in SLI for higher performance and/or improved image quality.


The card has two six-pin power connectors. Both are required for operation.


The GDDR3 memory chips are made by Hynix and carry the model number H5RS5223CFR-N3C. With a latency of 0.77 ns, they are specced to run at 1300 MHz.


NVIDIA has separated the display output logic from the GPU on the latest chips. That's why an additional chip is required to drive the DVI outputs.


The GPU is the NVIDIA GT200b, which is made in a 55 nm process with 1.4 billion transistors.
