The GeForce GTX 295 graphics card dual GPU Nvidia signed expected for early 2009, is decidedly happiness of the Chinese Web publishing, even before its launch, full details and first comparative benchmarks. That site IT168, which has since removed its article (but Google's cache works wonders) that are responsible for these tests to show that the GeForce GTX 295 provide performance superior to that of the current champion , The Radeon 4870 X2 AMD.
Side characteristics, IT168 confirms previous leaks: the GTX 295 board with two graphics processors engraved in 55 nanometers, each with 240 processing units, as on the GTX 280. The frequencies (576 MHz for GPU, 1242 MHz for stream processors and 1000 MHz memory), however, are identical to those of the GTX 260, as the memory interface, at 448 bits.
On the battery of tests between the GeForce GTX 295 to the Radeon HD 4870 X2, the Nvidia card would offer superior performance to model dual GPU high end of its competitor. The gap appears limited with titles like Fallout 3 or Far Cry 2, but become important with Call of Duty World at War, Left 4 Dead or Dead Space, tested in 2560 x 1600, 4x AA. The GTX 295 also offer lower consumption of 10 to 20 Watts of the Radeon 4870 X2.
