I hope the earlier cards drop in price now as a result of these being released. Maybe the 280 going for 350 or under. It was 299~ it would be great.

my gainward GTX280 does 750core

are there any microstuttering issues with 295's?

You know.. one that is actually WORTH the money. Anyone think its worth it for my current PC? Or should I wait till I do my full upgrade later this year and wait for a new GPU Arch.?

its roughly twice as fast as an 8800 gtx, but you will also experience microstuttering.

This is good to hear. I've still got a 9800gx2 and I really want to bail on it. I'm torn between the 285 and 295. I guess I have to see some benchs comparing the two. Also, I don't want to get stuck with the stutters again. Any advice?

m3dude · 01-14-09, 11:42 AM

microstuttering will likely always be an issue as long as afr is used.

AstroCat · 01-14-09, 01:55 PM

I have recently gotten back in to the flight sim IL2:1946, and unless I totally turn off SLI on my 9800gx2 it stutters (even in SLR mode, and even telling the settings to use one GPU). You need to put it in total 1 GPU mode or dual display mode depending on the drivers.

I just want to make sure if I go with the 295 I'm not right back in the same boat. I am leaning towards the 285 because I think the 9800gx2 has me spooked now about SLI on one card and to some extent all SLI configs.

your good bro.....no stuttering with the 295. Something about a 448bit bus, and 896mb per gpu that really makes for fluid FPS, and no stuttering. The 9800GX2 as you know had a 256bit bus, and 512mb per GPU. Loading up AA AF, and high res'es, really caused the GX2 to fall to its knees.
