GeForce GTX 295 dual-GPU card spotted

Pictures of a purported new Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 GPU are circulating the web, with the card expected to make its official debut at the CES in Las Vegas this January. The two-in-one card is reported to combine two 55nm GeForce GTX 260 GPUs via internal SLI, and while clock speeds are unknown at this point, it would apparently have twice as much memory as a GTX 260 with 1,792MB of RAM and sport 480 stream processors.

Considering the original GTX 260 had 216 stream processors it would appear that Nvidia has managed to squeeze out more stream processors with the die shrink – either that or this is a hybrid design between the GTX 260 and 240-core GTX 280. Final features are yet to be revealed, though from the leaked picture we can also tell the card will have two DVI ports as well as a full-size DisplayPort connector.

Final features are also yet to be revealed, though one example spotted in the leak shows two DVI ports as well as a lone, full-size DisplayPort connector. NVIDIA is also thought to be pricing the GTX 295 closer to AMD's ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2.

A second add-in card, the GTX 285, is also reportedly scheduled to appear at the same time and would chiefly represent a clock speed upgrade for the GTX 280 courtesy of the same 55nm process. Its pricing is also unknown, though it would replace the earlier $450 card.

Here is some additional information on the GeForce GTX 285, the evolution of the 55 nm GTX 280. It is still a dual card slot 27 cm long. His GT200 will have its 240 Stream Processors and will be coupled with 1 GB of GDDR3.

The precise frequencies are not known at present, but they mean that GTX 285 earn 10% on the GTX 280. Consumption would drop significantly because increase of 236 W to 183 W. The GTX 285 would have more than two PCI Express 6-pins instead of 6 +8 duo pins.

The GeForce GTX 285 is scheduled as the GTX 295 for early January.
