Palit Geforce GTX 285 with 2 GB of RAM

[Oswald]

Palit unveils new GeForce GTX 285 with a home-made ventilation, especially with more available memory on the PCB. The GTX 285 is first fitted with a big radiator on two slots, reinforced by four heat pipes and topped by two 80 mm fans self PWM. What cool well all of the graphics card, memory chips and power floor included.

Available in 1 GB, this card will also be sold with 2 GB of RAM, and it will be the first market, "says Palit. Those who doubt the usefulness of such an amount of RAM on a single card can at least think of the very heavy 3D engine of GTA IV, which requires approximately 1600 MB of graphics RAM to function properly (bug without delay loading textures) with all details and a maximum 1920 x 1200. The other drivers scheduled to spend most certainly.

The GPU of the card running at 648 MHz and GDDR3 memory at 1250 MHz (2500 MHz DDR) on a bus of 512 bits. Now we wait to see the price of the beast ...

Hey Buddy , I Got some Info Read the official Press release Here

Palit Microsystems, leading graphics card manufacturer, announces the first own design GeForce GTX285 1GB and 2GB. Armed with NVIDIA PhysX and NVIDIA CUDA technology, the GeForce GTX285 series are ready to enable a total new class of physical gaming interaction!

Palit GTX 285 2GB is the first and the only one graphics card available in the market. The Palit GeForce GTX285 1GB and 2GB feature a core speed of 648MHz and 2.5GHz on its GDDR3 memory with a 512bit interface. It supports the latest NVIDIA PhysX technology providing real-time physics simulations in leading edge PC and console games. With up to 50% more performance than prior generation GPUs, GeForce GTX 285’s GPUs tear through complex DirectX 10 environments and cinematic effects at blazing frame rates in extreme HD resolution!

Palit innovative dual fan cooling system for the GTX 285 series comes with two PWM fans and four heat-pipes to provide high performance and trustworthy cooling solution. Conceived for two GPUs, the two PWM fans are able to provide sufficient air flow to cool GPU on the graphics quietly. The PWM fan created for both fans can adjust the fan speed depending on the GPU’s temperature. Palit’s GeForce GTX285 also supports NVIDIA CUDA technology, unlocking the power of the GPU’s processing cores to accelerate the most demanding system tasks (such as video transcoding) to deliver up to 20x the performance over traditional CPUs.

There is also a new feature in Photoshop CS4 OpenGL which requires a lot of ram on the GC (I 512 and I saturated all the time). I have not had this problem with photoshop (except that the OpenGL does not start with the 64-bit version). The 2GB of memory can also be used in research for big data CUDA or even the display of meshes with huge textures (I know what I mean: p)

A model pro is nothing but a classic card (if not a GPU in the previous generation) memory with bios and changed ... and we paid 4 times more expensive.Yes and no, yes for the gpu and not for all of the components and drivers. The components are high quality for imaging professionals (CAD, DTP) for more accurate images and better quality (without blur with very good color) And drivers worked with companies of imagery to provide gain level performance more suited to 3D software, video and photo editing.

I still turn anything in 1920 with 512MB. For the higher resolution I doubt that more than 1024MB are necessary. This amount of memory is useful to me that for the applications mentioned above, a semi-pro card at a lower cost?
