Introduction

Hey there and welcome to a review covering the fastest graphics card on the planet. Yes yes... it's still the GeForce GTX 295. A graphics beast of a card armed with two snazzy graphics processors and its memory doubled up.

This however is revision two of the GeForce GTX 295. The first model was based on two PCBs (two cards) inside one package. It was a very expensive product to make and with the current economy... well something needed to be done. NVIDIA went back to the drawing board and designed a single PCB capable of housing two GPUs. This would save in overall production costs.

As such, and I stated this in the previous single-PCB review already, the new model GTX 295 is a bit of a stranger, the clock frequencies are the same, the memory configuration is the same, and it has the same GPUs. Primarily it's just the board design and thermals that have been altered.

The single-PCB based GeForce GTX 295 is now slowly starting to get some volume in the retail and etail channel and as such the first manufacturers would like to have their products tested.

One of these manufacturers is Inno3D, known for their awesome products. They recently launched the GeForce GTX 295 Platinum Edition, a product that is both classy and feature rich when it comes to the bundled items. Definitely worth a deeper look... well you are on Guru3D.com... we take it as deep as it can go.

So grab some coffee, then head on over to the next page where we'll get started up, but of course not before you have had a peek at that beast of a product tested today.
