295's are dual gpu... pretty its 2 gtx260's with 240sp's... on top of that only consume 286 watts or something like that... quad sli comsuming only around 600 watts!!! I'M ALL FOR IT

 

[synergy]

yea, I just read a little on it. 55nm, 480 total sp's, and GDDR5. Should be pretty promising.

 

[NosBoost300]

already got 400 saved up for it..

unless i blow it and just buy a gtx 280 soon.. lol

The memory is still gDDR3 clocked at 999mhz. The card is going to be insanely fast though, no one is doubting that.

i'm excited to see how it clocks on water...

from my understanding the gtx 285 should be able to do 1600 shaders on air.. at least from speculation... if that is true.. then i don't see why these 295's can't do it without proper cooling... this is gonna be a beastly card

Right...I read it wrong. Said it WON'T be adopting GDRR5...doh.

 

[NosBoost300]

so i bought a 280.. HAHA.. silly me..

 

[synergy]

You gonna go SLI eventually with that or wait for the 295?

 

[NosBoost300]

we'll see how that goes.. i'm not sure yet... more than likely buy a 295 though...

i got tired of my 260's and wanted something new

i may even just sell this and get 2 285's instead
