The performance king


Nvidia will officially introduce Geforce GTX 295, a dual-headed 55nm card. at CES on the 8th of January in Las Vegas, Nevada. We already made a preview of the card here and it is clear that it wins over ATI's dual-headed Radeon HD 4870 X2.


The 55nm GTX 260 with 216 shaders is already quasi-available. Nvidia has been shipping these chips for at least three weeks now, but it takes some time to manufacture these cards and ship them to Europe and USA.

EVGA got its first batch in both continents and at the same time GTX 285, the 55nm version of the faster GT200b chip with 240 Shaders, will launch. Don’t expect miracles, as this is just slightly higher clocked card, but you can expect some additional overclocking potential.
