GeForce GTX285 Gets Reviewed
After the paper launch of dual-GPU GeForce GTX295, lots of reviews on it have popped up. Conversely, Nvidia’s another flagship card GeForce GTX285 catches much less attention. As to now, only some specifications of GTX285 are unveiled, while we can hardly find reviews on its performance.
Despite of the NDS limitation, German hardware site ComputerBase has posted a detailed review on the performance of GeForce GTX285. The site has chosen many GeForce and Radeon cards for comparison, and lots of games are also involved.
Just as we reported, the core/shader/memory frequency of GTX285 is 648/1476/1242MHz (2484MHz data rate) respectively. We can see obvious improvements comparing with 602/1296/1107MHz of GTX280.

Why uses the catalyst 8.11?

They just overclocked GTX 280 to match the frequencies of GTX 285.
The performance of a real card may be different.

Well it usually works quite well, and goes to show you how stupid it is to pay more for a factory overclock

Good thing it ISNT just a factory overclock smarty. It’s a 55nm die shrunk version of it, so it’s actually quite different. Look it up next time before you say uninformed things.

Another redfan biased screed site. One clearly has to ask why the GTX295 isn’t anywhere to be found in the charts.
I guess they wanted to show how the 4870×2 is still king dong card. lol
HOW PATHETIC.
