well **** me.

EDIT: Only ONE bad picture of the card itself??? I want to see the new design on it.

Hahah 'physX' performance chart. That's quite a silly comparison. AMD simply has no support for hardware accelerated physics yet. That's why nvidia outperforms it so much, not because it's so much faster.

Fail comparison is fail. How 'bout comparing performance in Crysis, Mass Effect etc.?

why is the core & memory clock speeds of the GTX295 only around the same or less then the GTX280?

would of thought they be alot higher?

Rofl, I have a friend who will have about $3000 saved to build a rig, he though he might have some extra cash. I don't think he will anymore.

doesnt matter really the 200's overclock really well.
still your right even my 8800gt has a higher gpu clock.

The GTX295 is just 2 GTX260s glued together.

But
Fabrication Process:
GTX260: 65nm
GTX295: 55nm

Shouldn't it be able to attain higher clock speeds with a smaller process?

For anyone that is interested, here is an early look at a pre-production card, with benchies and stuff:

If all they did is shrink a GTX260 to 55nm then yes. But they combined it with another core instead so that is more heat etc from 2 cores together rather than choosing higher clock speeds. Although with more experience with 55nm and some revisions they probably will be able to push a dual version higher.
