NVIDIA GTX 295 Brings the Pain and Performance

Vigile writes "Dual-GPU graphics cards are all the rage and it was a pair of RV770 cores that AMD had to use in order to best the likes of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 280. This time NVIDIA has the goal of taking back the performance crown and the GeForce GTX 295 essentially takes two of the GT200 GPUs used on the GTX 280, shrinks them from 65nm to 55nm, and puts them on a single card. The results are pretty impressive and the GTX 295 dominates in the benchmarks with a price tag of $499."

    this is like the razor wars (double blade! triple blade! quad blade! pento blade!).

    Clearly you don't value a close shave.

    All I know is that my graphics box (I call it a graphical) houses a nice little motherboard with a cute Intel chip, some hard drives, and I think I even have a sound card plugged into it.

    I remember when the graphics "card" was simply part of the computer -- these days, all the other components are part of my graphical.

    I like A Close Shave. But I still think The Wrong Trousers is the best of the films with Wallace & Gromit.

    So, no hardware in your stockings this year!

    You have no idea how wrong that sounds.
