So who is all going for this card?
I already got dibs on 2 of them and a step up for one of them. Looks to be a hot seller for highend gamers so lets see what happens.

Yay for micro stutter. I'll never do a pos dual card again. Oh yea, and it's a GTX 295, not 395.

My bad.
These cards are redesigned and have some good numbers for them. You shouldn't have microstutter so it must be your stuff doig it.

There's no difference in performance between these and the dual PCB models. Same parts on both, same clocks.

I got a couple of the 285 2 gb cards i got and do just fine so will it make any difference?

Keep what you have, Big. I don't know why anyone would want to trade 2GB of VRAM for 896. Lots of games push the limit on that (Clear Sky uses 800+MB), some exceed it (GTA4 uses 1.4GB,) and lots of games these days are open to hi-res texture mods that will surpass it.

+1. That's borderline false advertisement. Effectively the card(s) have no more VRAM than a GTX260.

The 285's have given me almost endless opprotunities with Crysis and other intense games.

Pffft. No offense, but EVGA's got nothing on this:
ASUS GTX 295 MARS Review.... Digital 12-phase power, beastly cooler (you'll need it, lol), and, oh yeah, some Vantage records... ![]() ~Ibrahim~
