We managed to get our hands on the first picture of EVGA's HydroCopper GTX 285 card. The new card should end up to be the fastest GTX 285 and it has some impressive specifications.

The card works at 720MHz for the core, has 1GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 2.77GHz while shader clocked ended up at 1,620MHz. These are the same clock speeds as on EVGA's GTX 285 FTW card, but you can expect this one to be much lower temperature due to the water block. The reference air cooler does a great job but we are sure that this water block can do even better, and the card could probably be overclocked a bit higher.

The new card should start appearing at local retail/e-tail shops pretty soon but the price is still unknown. Currently, the EVGA GTX 285 FTW is listed at around €450 and it is shipping as of today.
