    [Hexus] GTX 295 is official!

    Originally posted by Hexus
    NVIDIA has now officially confirmed the existence of the GeForce GTX 295, and, funnily enough, has chosen today to divulge tasty morsels of pant-wetting info. Talk about festive spirit, huh?

    The GeForce GTX 295, then, is a single-slot-taking card that, essentially, carries two GeForce GTX 260 GPUs - with a difference.

    NVIDIA has been able to put two - face-to-face, presumably - on a single card because the manufacturing process has been dropped from 65nm to half-node 55nm. Along with a few undisclosed architectural tweaks, the package draws a maximum of 289W, which is a touch lower than the also-twin-GPU Radeon HD 4870 X2. We're adamant that NVIDIA would not have been able to do this, with sensible cooling, if it'd used 65nm-based GPUs.

    Anyone fancy a festive splurge then?

    After a frustrating second half of 2008, Nvidia is looking to start the new year off by reclaiming its single-card performance crown. We got our hands on an engineering sample GeForce GTX 295 to give you a taste of what you can expect in two weeks.


    There is some benchmarks for you to dig your teeth into, looks like AMD have some work to do :)
