It seems as soon as one manufacturer retaliates in the video card wars, the bar gets raised even further. This year has been a case of going for the top spot. Each time ATI or Nvidia come to the table with the latest and greatest, there is another card right over the horizon. We've travelled far enough, so that the horizon is right in front of us. The 4870x2 served as a wake up call and now Nvidia has an answer for that problem with the GTX 295
It seems as soon as one manufacturer retaliates in the video card wars, the bar gets raised even further. This year has been a case of going for the top spot. Each time ATI or Nvidia come to the table with the latest and greatest, there is another card right over the horizon. We've travelled far enough, so that the horizon is right in front of us. The 4870x2 served as a wake up call and now Nvidia has an answer for that problem with the GTX 295. What is it? With all the rumours and leaks, much about this card is already known. It is a dual board, dual GPU solution much the same as the 9800GX2 that came out back in March. Yet this iteration uses two GT200 GPU cores that have gone through a size reduction and now are manufactured on a 55nm process. The GTX295 takes a little bit of its heritage from both the GTX 280 and GTX260. The GT200 cores each have 240 processing cores for a total of 480 that run at 576MHz. The graphics memory consists of 896MB per core for a total of 1792MB running through 2 448 bit buses at 1000MHz. The GTX295 supports both Physx and Cuda technologies and is designed to take advantage of both SLI and Physx operations, by designating one of the onboard GPUs to Phsyx to improve game performance and realism. Since this is just a preview of the performance of the GTX295, let's take a look and see just what it is.
