Product: Graphics Card
Make: NVIDIA, GeForce
Version: GTX 295
Price: Varied
The GeForce 295 GTX is the fastest graphic card to date, it holds 1,792MHz RAM of memory, and the resolution size is 2,560 x 1,600, now that is massive. This is an incredibly fast card; so you?re going to need a really big screen in order to get the most out of it, and its twin-GPU prowess. The GTX is powerful, hungry and exactly what you?d expect from a cutting-edge slice of computing, and believe me when I say this, it sure isn?t cheap. This pro-gaming kit needs specific hardware to really make it shine. The great thing I like about this, the performance takes over from the NVIDIA make. NVIDIA is a top brand, I always find it?s the fastest, and more reliable make, it also upgrades AMD?s successful 4870 X2 brand. Who ever processed this one ...
Advantages: everything... Disadvantages: at my point of view nothing really
The GeForce 8600GTS XXX edition from XFX, I own this card and is just fantastic, I bought this card because I can't afford the powerful one's at the moment but if you buy this card you will see that is not very much different than the powerful one's. At the moment I am playing Crysis which is a fantastic game and with this card Im able to get about 20 frames per second everything at max, everything at mid I get about 30 frames per second at 1280*1024 resolution which is playable, but you can get a bit more depending on your system. As I said its fantastic, you will also be able to play HD, blu-ray movies with no problem because this card is HDCP fully capable, Direct X 10 and many other features, and for gamers like me if you buy 2 of these and put them into SLI mode if your motherboard support it them my friends it will be awsome. ...
(GTX 260)
DirectX 10
New power management enhancements
CUDA parallel processing
GeForce PhysX
Note the Highlighted points above. That will really upset those who spends 399 USD(priced 399$ when my friend boght) just to get the transistors count reduced when compared with lesser priced GTX 280.
My opinion
But PhysX performance is better than GTX 280, in game physics such as vector objects representation and their movements, lightning effects are very well represented.
In terms of appearance this card gives much a sort of a "Beasty" appearance than 9800 GTX. Its appearance is like its ready to take any game thrown to it, set at thier highest quality. But It really doesnt perform so and it explicitely shows that Appearances are deceiving.
Though this card performs good, its not better than its "Big ...
