subject: Inno3D GeForce GTX 295 Platinum review [print this page] Share:First of All, this GTX295 is 2nd version of GTX295, why I say so, it is because it's two pcb have been combined in to one PCB, where previous single slot cards have used two PCB's, this will be make price much lower. Besides, it also give a better electronic signal due to lower the electromagnetic emission. As one pcb is supporting and running on two CPUs, that mean "TOTAL" power consumtion will less, therefore, less heat will be give out compare with two PCBs version of GTX295.
After testing with intel P720 cpu, 4GHz DDR3 1600MhZ, AUSA P58 mother board, with following result.
3DMark Vantage under P mode (Inno3D） GTX295 Platinum score P20850 ，under X mode， it score X9320。 if over clock to 650/2400MHz，under P model it socre P23120. (very high mark)
GeForce GTX 295 Platinum feature: 2nd Generation NVIDIA® Unified Architecture The 240 enhanced processor cores that provide incredible shading horsepower is achieved via delivery of the second generation architecture with 50% more gaming performance over the first generation. NVIDIA PhysX™ Ready GeForce GPU support for NVIDIA PhysX technology - enabling a totally new class of physical gaming interaction for a more dynamic and realistic experience with GeForce. The PhysX processor is noted for being specifically designed to accelerate dynamic physical motion and interaction in games such as Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW 2). NVIDIA® Unified Architecture Fully unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics or pixel shading operations, delivering up to 2X the gaming performance of prior generation GPUs GigaThread™ Technology Massively multi-threaded architecture supports thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs NVIDIA® SLI™ technology Delivers up to 2X the performance of a single graphics card configuration for unequaled gaming experiences by allowing two cards to run in parallel. The must-have feature for performance PCI Express graphics, SLI technology dramatically scales performance on today’s hottest games NVIDIA® Lumenex™ Engine Delivers stunning image and floating point accuracy at ultra-fast frame rate 16x Anti-aliasing Lightning fast, high quality anti-aliasing at up to 16x sample rates obliterates jagged edges 128-bit floating point High Dynamic-Range (HDR) Twice the precision of prior generations for incredibly realistic lighting effects-now with support for anti-aliasing NVIDIA® Quantum Effect™ Technology Advanced shader processors architected for physics computation enable a new level of physics effects to be simulated and rendered on the GPU-all while freeing the CPU to run the game engine and AI NVIDIA® ForceWare® unified Driver Architecture (UDA) Delivers a proven record of compatibility, reliability and stability with the widest range of games and applications. ForceWare ensures the best out-of-box experience for every user and delivers continuous performance and feature updates over the life of NVIDIA GeForce GPUs OpenGL® 2.0 Optimizations and Support Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for Open GL applications. NVIDIA® nView Multi-Display Technology Advanced technology provides the ultimate in viewing flexible and control for multiple monitors. PCI Express Support Designed to run perfectly with the PCI Express bus architecture, which doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X to deliver over 4 GB/sc in both upstream and downstream data transfer Built for Microsoft® Windows Vista Nvidia’s fourth-generation GPU architecture built for Windows Vista gives users the best possible experience with the Windows Aero 3D graphical user interface NVIDIA® PureVideo™ technology The combination of high-definition video decode acceleration and post-processing that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color and precise image scaling for movies and video
