Has caught the attention of users NVIDIA GF GTX 285 formal arrival!? Small mind brain today visited the scene found two field Shop Capital and Centralfield demonstrated in the display window GIGABYTE latest GF GTX 285, model GV-N285 - 1GH-B, the so-called single-card imperial GTX 285 using the 55nm process, built 240 Stream Processors, and more power than previous generations GTX 280 significantly reduced to 183W.

GeForce GTX 285 using 55-nanometer D10U graphics core, built 240 Unified Streaming Processor, 80 months Texture Filtering Unit, 80 months Texture Address Unit, and 32 Raster Operations Unit, the core clock to 648MHz, Sharder clock to 1476MHz, memory body clock was 1242MHz.

In addition, GeForce GTX 285 with 1GB GDDR3 memory, power consumption significantly lower for the 183W, compared 280GTX dropped the 236-power, 285GTX more need to use only two 6pin power supply interface to operations and reduce system power supply requirements.

According to the brain field staff, said the scene took the lead in the GIGABYTE GV-N285-1GH-B is limited to goods, Capital and Centralfield the price of two shops were HK $ 3399 and $ 3200, since the introduction of benefit after the home welcome, only the remaining 1 ~ 2 spot.

excuse the googleese, but you'll get the point more or less.

hmm might check the mall out...

Is so nice they have reverted to only two 6 pins. (Makes life easier for soooo many ppl upgrading.)

HOT!!!! or make that COOL!!!!!



Tri-SLI on a watercooled Gigabyte GA-EX58-EXTREME i7 mobo

Nice.

[Bladestorm]

Not even the i7 965 Extreme could handle tri-sli with these, am I correct.

[Amaury]

yes it can. In fact most i7 mobos support tri-sli and crossfire.





I particularly like the Gigabyte GA-EX58-EXTREME because of its northbridge waterblock, 10 sata ports, PCIeX1 and PCIeX4 slots above the first PCIeX16 slot.

Gigabyte boards have the worst vdroop and thus make them poor overclockers. Maybe they will step up with x58, not holding my breath.

That's not what I meant.

It depends on what resolution you're running and what game your playing. Something like COD will scale quite well because it isn't limited by the cpu. Other games would become cpu limited like Far Cry 2, but if you're using a triplehead setup or a 30" then you'll likely run out of vram before you can fully utilize all 3 cards. There are scenarios where the processor could easily be holding them back though.

I hope more mobo's start having 2 slot spacing between the pcie connectors, there's barely any room for the fan's on the cards to get any air, its like they're suffocating.

Anyone know what the projected price of the 285 is for the US?

IMO people are a bit nutty about required CPU speed for SLi/Crossfire. When running GTX 260 Core 216 Tri-SLi (711|2300) @ 1280x with no filtering @3.2GHz I lose 5-8FPS in demanding games vs 3.96GHz. At the res I normally play, 1920x, the differences are smaller.
