HI
THERE i am looking for some information regarding GTX 285 and GTX 295.
i thing both are great performer but its issue to buy best .if any one have any
poles about these graphics card or any suggestion for another good graphics card please do reply. thank you.

nothing substantially new is on the cards, GeForce GTX 285 has everything that makes it identical to the GTX 280, specifications wise, except for the clock speeds. This is where, NVIDIA gets to take the advantage of the superior electrical and thermal efficiencies of the 55nm core to step up clock speeds and thereby increase performance.
new card has a 10% performance increase over the GeForce GTX 280. The card continues to be based on the NVIDIA P891 PCB the current cards use, and hence the GPU gets to use the high-grade power circuitry at its disposal to gain high clock speeds.

gtx 295:The two GPUs will offer all their 240 stream processors unlike what earlier reports suggested. On the other hand, the memory subsystem of this card is peculiar. The card features a total of 1792 MB of memory (896 MB x 2), indicating that the memory configurations of the cores resemble those of the GeForce GTX 260, while the shader domains resemble those of the GTX 280 (240 SPs)The construction resembles that of the GeForce 9800 GX2 in many aspects, where a monolithic cooler is sandwiched between two PCBs holding a GPU system each.

its great! 4870 X2 has competitor . awesome stuff, it's faster in most games.

This will probably be twice as expensive to manufacture as a 4870 X2 this is only problem. there are 2 PCBs instead of one, and no doubt the cooler is better. 4870 X2 prices will get down as it retails for a decent price .

the GeForce GTX 285. We know that the card is based on NVIDIA's refined 55nm G200b core and apparently it runs identical specs to the existing GTX 280s, but will come in with higher reference clock speeds yet eats less power.

SO the results don't seem too far away from GTX 285 performing ,on average 10% faster to the 280. But keep in mind it will also use less power and run cooler thats it.
