The GeForce GTX 295 graphics card with CUDA technology deals not only with providing a world-class gaming experience, but it also delivers Graphics Plus. An experience can be done of jaw-dropping PhysX gaming effects, stereoscopic 3D, and lightning fast video and image processing all accelerated by the GPU.Somewhat it experiences a new world of realistic physical motion and massively destructible environments, strapping on NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision glasses to game in true stereoscopic 3D, trans coding HD videos in minutes with portable video player, or rapidly editing digital images using Adobe CS4, the GeForce GTX 295 graphics card does it all with mind blowing performance.

Officially launched at CES, the GTX 295 is NVIDIA’s latest top end graphics card and, as that preamble have suggested, about its uses two GTX 280 chips working together in a single card (just like SLI but on one card) to theoretically hand the competition its own proverbial. In fact, the GTX 295 is quite two fully-fledged GTX 280s in relation with the clock speeds of the two chips which have been lowered to the same as that of the GTX 260. Basically, the two cores operate at 576MHz with the shader clock set to 1,242MHz. Memory speed has also been reduced to 1,998MHz as well as these speed reductions the other secret to enabling the GTX 295 to exist the shrink in manufacturing process. The normal GTX 280 had been manufactured using a 65nm process, but the chips used in the GTX 295 use a smaller 55nm process. This seems that small reduction has a large cumulative affect on the overall power and heat output of the chip, enabling NVIDIA to fit the same computing power in a smaller thermal envelope than would otherwise be possible.

Discussing  regarding prices which are going to get tricky for the next few weeks considering GeForce GTX 295 boards have started to appear on retailers immediately at ~$500 and price drops from competing products have followed accordingly. The Radeon HD 4870 X2 seems to be selling for ~$450 making it roughly the same as buying a pair of Radeon HD 4870 1GB cards. GeForce GTX 280 pricing, on the other hand, it has dropped dramatically from the $450-500 range a few weeks ago to less than $350 making for quite a bargain. This heavy drop may be in favor of its replacement, the slightly speed bumped GeForce GTX 285, with a 55nm process causing an expectation to run cooler and over clock better. These cards have yet been available though, and the discounts for GTX 280 cards may be a strategy to deplete inventory as quickly as possible.
