Balance has now been restored with the introduction of the GeForce GTX 295, giving Nvidia a weapon to compete for the performance crown.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 dual-GPU graphics card features 1792MB of memory which corresponds to the memory capacity of two GeForce GTX 260 boards. However, unlike the Radeon HD 4870 X2 which is literally two Radeon HD 4870 products stuck together, the GeForce GTX 295 seems to be more of a hybrid, sharing specs of both GeForce GTX 260 and 280 products.



Therefore, what we have here is an insanely fast graphics card that should be more than capable of taking on the Radeon HD 4870 X2. But how fast is GeForce GTX 295 exactly? We will be exploring that next.

You gotta love the fact that Crysis still spanked the **** out of these cards... albeit at 2560x1600

yeah i figure about 300 dollars is about MAX i would want to pay for a graphics card... although 200 or less is more 'reasonable'.

anyone who drops 500 on a graphics card is not to bright lol ... especially considering the card's price will drop alot in a years time.

p.s. ill bet the card still 'barely' runs GTA4 lol (that game is so unoptimized it aint even funny)

I don't really think it's about people being "not bright", I think it has to do with they have enough money to throw down on some fancy hardware such as this.

I've been waiting for these. I was just gonna buy two 280s and run them in SLI, but then I heard that these 295s were coming so I decided to wait.
