Dual GeForce GTX 260 to be Officially Named GeForce GTX 295

[PCpraiser100]

wow, i would love to see prices far. because when that dose happen, the 9800 GTX+'s will be even cheaper, and i will probbly, finnal tri-SLI my system... that would be nice, if anything it would knock donw the price of the asic 260 to a nice price to where i can use my EVGA step up program!!!! so rock out to the release of this card!

If so, how are you going to take care of those upcoming OpenCL applications? Consider a new platform.

 

[Zubasa]

It is most likely going to be the top performer, so we all know it is going to be way overpriced, why even hope it isn't? I just hope they don't overprice it as badly as ATI has overpriced the HD4870x2.

Given how overpriced that GTX 280 was...:shadedshu It doesn't look good.
And that 8800 Ultra... Oh Snap

nvidia is compatible with openCL... as far as i have read anyways.

This will be a monster card... im guessing at around the $360-$400 range when it does come out... 8800Ultra and GTX 280 came out when there was no competition. Thank god for ATI (they gave my 260's so cheap).

I wonder if you can tri SLI these!!!

talk about having the SICKEST set-up EVER!

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

I doubt you would see enough gain to justify the price in any way.

 

[lilkiduno]

no i doubt it, but, then again people buy shit when they have the money, just because they can!

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

Nobody has money right now though, did you forget about the economy?

 

[3870x2]

I have a feeling its not going to perform much better than the 9800GX2, but well see.

I agree, it would be interesting though to see someone bench two GTX260s in SLi vs a GX2 or 9800GTX/+s in SLi so we can get a sneak preview.
W1zz?

no i didn't forget about the economy... also i didn't forget about the CEO's of the large coperations walking away with millions as the company when bankrupt ither

They don't build PCs though, they just rape and pillage. Modern day Vikings in a sense.

There will always be a market for a $500~$700 card. When people can buy two to three of those these days, the same people can jolly-well afford a single card. No more economy discussion.

Thats what everyone said with tri sli....... :shadedshu


And then the i7 came out and changed all that

I just don't see Six-L-I being realistic.

im going to do it with my GX2's

i would gladly pay 400-500 for one, but in the last few months the exchange rate has gone to poop and one aussie dollar now buys only ~62 us cents, as oppose to the 90+ cents we were getting for a loooooooong time, was even at 98 cents for a while.

right now in Aus, a 4870X2 is 800-900 AUD, and a GTX280 is 650-750.....

Aren't you always telling me how you don't like multi-gpu solutions and would rather have a 300nm fab with enough power to make Christopher Reeve walk again?

traditionally yeah, im a believer in one kickass GPU, and unlike some, believe multi gpu is not the way of the future...

if a true multi core approach can be made, with a single - large - shared framebuffer i may reconsider....

however, its a given i like to have the best of the best, my thoughts are this will be THE card.

that and for the time being im done with my 4870, i dislike the driver controll panel, and in all honesty the 4870 appears cheaply made compared to every nvidia card ive ever owned bar the FX5600XT

also, i dove right on 2x512 mb models which i regret given 1gb models came out VERY soon after.

I know what you mean, my GX2 feels sturdy enough where I feel like I could beat my roommate to death with it and still have a working card.

 

[eidairaman1]

its all a cooler, nothing more, nothing less

you'd be surprised, theres 2 nvidia 9800's in there.

 

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

Hope the price of this thing goes down as fast as the 9800GX2 though. hehe.

Anyways, quad SLI still has kinks. A single GTX295 would be good though.

But I somehow get the new nVidia naming scheme now.. you can somehow get a glimpse of what kind of performance you will get when you compare em. look at GTX 260, 265, 280.. and now GTX 295. Im seeing that its performance gap from the GTX 280 is not that large compared to a GTX 260 vs GTX 280...

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

I'd like to see the beastly cooler they plan on putting on this thing. the GT200 is a friggen hot sweaty hog. I can't imagine they like being near each other very much.
Come to think of it I'd like to see the power consumption too.
