  • You do not want one...its dx10, we are in 2011 we use dx11 get a 570...get two 570s

  • looks like someone bent the rear i/o? O.o

  • Man this used to be the shit but now its all up to the 590

  • TDP (Totall Dick Power ) :)

  • 2 of these will destroy anything out there and this thing is pretty old..

  • Why would you even need something this good?

  • @Agnes135 cus its great i have one,and its awsone!!!

  • looks like a video casette!

  • how old is this card? even still.... I know I want one.

  • @MrThomasHandley check the video date.

  • EVEN CRISIS? :O

  • well, for a dual gpu it's already old. now you need ASUS MARS II Dual GTX 480 xD

  • Comment removed

  • price ?????

  • lol they did hijack spiderman

  • can anyone tell me if the geforce 8400 gs is compatable with an acer aspire laptop?

  • Comment removed

  • nop dude laptop cards have a especific size

  • before you buy any card you must know graphics cards only work with a actual pc like not a laptop

  • let us see

    ATI Founded : 1985 and was acquired by AMD on 2006

    NVIDIA Founded : 1993

    ATI company has a longer history...

    Physx & CUDA is going to be a fact in ATI Cards soon

  • @zhiheng2005 ati suxs

  • Many People Have many different point of view... depends

  • @zhiheng2005 physx and cuda isn't gonna be with ATi. Just cause a company is older doesn't mean it's better. 8800 series killed ATi. gtx 295 beat out the highly anticipated 4870 x2. and then fermi is gonna take them out. again. and again. and again. and to recap, physx isn't gonna be with ATi cause physx is by ageia, which is bought by nvidia. And ATi already has stream, but CUDA is far more perfected. and again, just cause it's older.. doesn't mean its better.

  • agree.. but NVIDIA has low efficiency on making their cards... Late producing... Early Design lol

  • @zhiheng2005 eh, not late producing. That's just fermi. Fermi has had 3 revisions already. So nvidia doesn't just waste time for nothing.

  • I think physx is so far abit useless.. not much game in the globe are using the physx technology yet...

  • lol zhiheng u are so ....... Nvidia is better than Ati becouse Nvidia have +physics +shader clock and the new nvidia GF100 have GDDR5 dx 11 and a lor of new shits

  • Does the card use the both CPUS when you play games??

  • but mine gtx 295 get are at 55-60 celcius when i play games:( how can cool the graficard=?

  • Dude that's good temperature.

  • Nvidia

    + physx

    + better af filter

    - colors are not as real as on ati cards

    - rename old produkts

    - cheat on Benchmarks

    -+ have the better high end pendants

    (not at the moment)

    + Drivers are a bit better than Ati

  • @Alertatube

    ATi

    - Physx

    + DX 10.1 / 11

    + Colors look almost real

    - Af filter still not as good as Nvidia's

    + most mid high Ati cards cost less

    - the drivers are not as good as nvidia's depending on OS

  • @Alertatube

    Ati uses 5dimensional shaders

    nvidia uses 1 dimensional ones

    the difference is, that nvidias shader do one thing at a time such as: R / G / B / Physx / other

    and ati's 5d shaders:

    R G G 2 others (may physics - not phyxs)

    at the same time.

    so its about the programm, wich is using the gpu to process information to show the real power of the card.

  • @Alertatube

    - most Ati cards have more Tflops / cpu like power

    so if games would be programmed

    on OPENGL & Hardware Tesselation

    ati would win

    - If games are made in old faschioned way

    (2 d textures and some 3d textures)

    Nvidia wins because of a higher

    Texture fillrate.

    so at last it's the players decision if he wants power / energy saving / high fps or high quality.

  • @Alertatube

    ur on crack they never renamed a card...

  • no ATI 5870 fuck gtx295 deep in the ass

  • no should be ATI HD5970 Hardcore

  • @zhiheng2005 true lol

  • Hey hey, :P There is a wrong typing..

    should be GDDR3

  • ATI

    + GDDR5 Memory [Way more better than GRDDR3]

    + EYEFINITY Technology

    + More than 1 teraFLOPS

    + ATI CHEAP COST

    + ATI Stream Technology

    How many more do you want to compare...

    NVIDIA Is just copy cats... They are far behind ATI

  • do you think that €600 for an 5970 is cheap? and do you know wut a teraFLOPS is btw?

  • can you touch the board side of it with your bare hands?

  • If you are adding price, ATI is the best.

    If you are not coutning the price, 7WORDS,

    NVIDIA!!!

  • @StevenEdit in fact ATI is not cheap anymore! + cant see your 7 words ?

  • i don't understand . nvidia is letting ati go better than it.. it must be a strategy. cus the're not publishing any new series/

  • do enyone know if it is posible to have gtx 295 on a notebook. (i know the gtx graphics car i huge)

  • ATI HD5000 series are better!!!!!

  • haha just wait until the next gen cards of nvidia come out

  • I don't think so dude. nvidia beat all

  • @pixo45 If you think that's true then why doesn't the NEW GTX 480 beat the ATI 5970?

  • @altoidfart there is no such thing as a gtx 480.

  • @pixo45 Want to bet on that? I guarantee you there's a gtx 480, including the gtx 470.

  • @altoidfart oh yeah! lol there is

  • In some games it does.

  • @altoidfart

    because just like the gtx 295 the ati 5970 is a combination of 2 GPU in 1 card.

  • I'm gonna get this instead of the 9800 GT, way stronger than any nvidia card, i don't care about ati cards, this one beats all.

  • ati cards are still good though, but dont beat nvidia in my opinion

  • @pixo45 dont forget the ati 5970, thats way faster

  • that's fast too

  • but doesn't beat this card.

  • Uhhh yes it does, check benchmarks and video comparisons on youtube.... 5970 not 5870...im talking about the 5970, u mite think im talking abt the 5870

  • ati 5970

  • lol

  • i bought this card on tiger direct and when arrived it to my home, there wasnt hdmi port, just one dvi to hdmi converter and i connected to my lcd tv and really looks bad trugh the hdmi

  • If it looks bad with the dvi to hdmi adapter it would look just as bad if the card had an hdmi port. Think of hdmi as just a smaller version of dvi. All the wires and connections are exactly the same. The only difference is the hdmi connector is smaller. Maybe the problem is your TV.

  • my tv is not the problem because whith the xbox 360 looks prefect trhough hdmi, and with this video card the dvi to vga adapter looks really good and with the dvi to hdmi doesnt

  • im running a corsair 750 watts on this bigboy and im planing on doing a SLI is corsair 1000 watts good enough?

  • the card max tdp is 280 w so that might be enough

  • i doubt it but is there a mobile version of that?

  • lol it would burn your laptop. but the co-op version runs much cooler ftw (would still burn the laptop rofl)

  • This card will run on 2560 x 1600 high end monitors with something like cod 4 running 70fps. I got a 8800gts 512 and doing dual monitor in horizontal desktop, (each monitor is 2048x 1536 res), i've run games of 4096 x 1536 which is playable on just 1 card. This baby here is all your ever need and will run the future uhd tvs which will be 1600 p (2056 x 1600). Awsome card.

  • i have oc co-op version and i play on 1920x1080 everything on the max no problems whatsoever ftw :D

  • I'm running a 19 inch with 1440x 900 resolution. I am looking into buy a new video card. Does anyone know what card will be enough to run Crysis + Nat-Mod and Cod4+5 on high res on my 19 inch? Is this insane card necessary?

    Thanks.

  • hell yeah

  • GTX 295 is more geared towards a 24 inch which supports 1920x1080. A GTX 275/260 core would be perfect for 19inch.

    I would just wait for the 300 series coming out soon though... which will have DX11. If you plan on getting Windows 7.

  • whats a good hd monitor worthy of this card

  • Comment removed

  • i have a 24" 1080p monitor

  • I just got a Palit GTX 295 and it overclocks like mad. It does 35FPS in Crysis Very High, 1920x1080 with 4xAA!!!! It runs well with my PSU to which is OCZ 600W (Recomended 680W)!!! If you want high end gaming then you should get the GTX 295 (But wait for GTX 3xx now for DX11)!!!

  • lol my 8200m owns this card 900fps in cod4

  • 900FPS WITH 8200M NO

  • Comment removed

  • It's spelled "Crysis"! "Crisis" is some boring game made in Iceland...

  • hey,ive got the 295 gtx,its a BFG and my good god,it overclocks like a banshee,its at 576 mhz stock core clock,1242 mhz shader clocks,and 999 mhz memory clocks.i run mine at 650 core,1450 shaders and 1150 memory with the fan at 65 or 75% .i love it!dead stable!

    why is anyone interested in this card if your not willing to upgrade your psu?650 watt minimum.dont bother with less ever ,ok!!

    all the 295 gtx are the same,just different stickers from different manufacturers.

    awesome card,no problem!

  • I would totally get a GTX 295 if I didn't have that generic 300w PSU

  • In the specs for the card, I believe it says you need a 680W psu. They are taking into account your system has other parts to power when they give you this number. They are also taking into account that you may have a shitty psu. If you have a good brand like antec, corsair, or pc Power & Cooling, you could do it like on a 550W.

  • Hey what do any of you think is better the EVGA 295 or the GALAXY? I am building by first PC in a month or so and just wondering what is someone's preference.

  • XFX :D i EVGA is good but i love XFX they rock take it from a pc builder who got shitty budget but they are nice!!

  • Would a 420w PSU run this graphics card? I would like to no before i buy one...

  • not even close you need like 600-700w

  • 680 watt psu needed. dont forget u also have fans, CPU, Ram, drives , hard drive. other things to power. id say 750 watt man u will be safe :D

  • u guys need to do the 2nd gen 295 plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz i back of u my old 295 is the first gen and its fried

    well Ive gone through 4 of them and i have heard i em not the only one that have a probs with the 1st gen 295

  • Comment removed

  • lool the 295 are taking over evry gtx card out there

  • I'm so happy my 2nd one is comin tomorow. My pc os going to be awesome quad sli :)

  • Wow. Get to the goddamn benchmarks.

  • my 7300gs could smoke that thing!

  • My 7600 gs Would Smoke Your 7300 gs ! :D

  • Whoa whoa whoa! You want a bench off, son? mutha-trucka I run dual 7300 GS's!

    =D

    Naaw but in all seriousness, I have an 8800GT that rocks the world =]

  • lol i got a gtx 260 coming soon :D My 7600 literally "smoked"

  • Yea those are pretty cool. I've got $360 right now so I'm going to buy an Antec 750w PSU and a Q9550 =]

    Then I'll eventually get a 4890

  • ROFL so much QQ about a card... i have a gtX290 with a 1500watt power supply im not in debt and i love the card.. it runs COOLER then ANY 8800-9800 i have seen and the only reason im lookin into buyin the GTX295 is koz its got the hdmi port and id love to save on having addapters behind my comp to my tv XD having sed that im NOT water cooled just a soprana DX case (mid tower) tight fit but NEVER see it hotter then 70c

  • hey bud,ive got a 295 gtx but wtf is a 290 gtx,never heard of it?because it doesnt exist?

  • sorry typo i have a gtx280* small mistake can send you pics if you want tho :D

  • good that I have 700w power supply

  • i did a test with the gtx 295 and 4890 and the gtx 295 is like having dual 4890 and for all you ATi fans wtf man why you always bashing on Nvidia, we dont bash on you Ati fans so wtf man? wtf.

  • Good point

  • 2 4890s can beat GTX 295 no way in hell unless u are getting 93 Fps on very high with 1680x1050 or 50 with 1920x1080

  • I agree, it also produces less heat than one gtx 295

  • what's CUDA

  • my opinion alot of Gamers are in serious debt these days because of the hardware getting more expensive i don't see the point in paying out loads of Money to play a simple Game and plus the hardware gets out of date very very easy these days so i don't see the point at all it's stupid you've gotta have Money to burn

  • beducorn your so right. Most people usually spend money they don't have. And almost all games can play on cheaper graphics cards and they'll still look very good with decent framerates. Plus when you buy a REALLY good videocard like this....Theres just going to be another in like a month. I think the Nividia GT300 is coming out soon so....

  • what about the Revolution 700 Deluxe from palit it is said to be the fastest card out even better than any 295 out. is it ture or just hyped up B.S?

  • i will get this grafics card soon

    in spain it cost 400 euros

  • he makes it sound surprising that it runs crysis XD. its the most incredible card the world's ever seen, no shit its gonna run crysis. cant wait to be able to get one of these! running 2x GTX 260 core 216 right now, but ill drop those for one of these. i dont even wanna imagine sli for one of these!

  • buy 2 4890 in CF these are better than the 295 gtx and much cheaper

  • better rly???

  • yes of course^^ look at some test and you'll see

  • Really, well i just want to have 1 or 2 video cards that would EXTREME KICK ASS Every game in the highest visual setting and everything to the Maximum. PM me please!

  • this is shit why would nividia think of making such bulky and extremely hot graphic card....provided it gives close to 1.8gb video memory you definitely doesnt need to change for the next 3 years provided your electricity bill hit the alarm everyday after 6-8hours of gaming everyday

  • well if your so against this card, and worried about your electricity bill... dont get it...

  • galaxy poor :P

  • could you install two Operating System, and have one video card hooked up to one, and another to another, and then have 2 monitors hooked up, and like 2 copies of an online game like World at War, and play like as if they are two separate computers? lol, hope ppl know what I mean :-)

  • i think u can do that

    and u can do it with one graphics card

    linux ubuntu can do that, i know that for shure

  • oh yeah, cool, good to know, thanks :-)

  • no you can't do that... you'd need two whole computers...

  • why the hell would you even wanna do that?

  • I don't know, so you have your friend play against you without having to haul his PC over to your place... lol

    but there would be a mouse conflict with that, lol

  • given, you wanna be at the same physical location...

  • No benchmarks!? What gives?

  • can anybody help me

    can i put my 9800gt with a 295gtx in the same computor.I know i need sli motherboard i have that alreadey i want to know can i????

  • mine i have a p45 motherboard, i used my gtx 295 as my primary and my gtx260 as my physx card. i used corsair 1000w

  • needs to be the same type of card like 2 9800s would work but i don't think it would work and besides there is no point in putting in a 9800 if your getting a 295 if i where you id sell the 9800 hope that helps a lil

  • my graphics card doesnt even get a high fps on watching this vid in HD

  • lol

  • thats cause ur cpu does that xD

  • lol, my cpu isnt that bad XD

  • can i use gtx 295 and a 8500gt for physx?

  • guys, do i need a 2nd monitor to run physx? using p45 mobo , vista my os. pls help, thanks

  • no... it has nothing to do with your monitor.... physx is just a technology used by Nshitia (haha i do like nvidia...) but it has nothing to do with your monitor setup....

  • Logan didn't tell a lot things about the product, just fun. This guy is better, he explains everything, unlike Logan.

  • whats better to play Age of empire 3 TO FULL GRAPHICS ?

    And to starcraft 2?

    285 or this one?

    thx for answer

  • This One!

  • neither, a 260 will smoke either of them.

    a 260 is over doing it tbh. if you're just playing rts get a 8800 or 9800gtx

  • your joking right? an old geforce 7800 will play this on max settings..........

  • is just idk about video cards.

    And i have an ATI x1650 series

  • Go to BestBuy & buy a Nvidia 9600GT or ATI 4650.... they will run the game very nicely..

  • but how much is the price.?

    Because i could sell the ATI 1650X and get some money but i dont have many

  • It's about $480-$520 usually, it's madness.

    Buying two of them is one of the most insane things.

  • This is Sparta.

  • 4830 oc'd will run nicely

  • THAT CARD IS FUCKING AWESOME !!!!

  • thus guy is awsome i like him

  • lol Logan was only fun ...but no real tech knowledge...i mean logan knew a little but was not enough for the tech savvy audience this show congregates.

  • ja, logan is kool

  • which one is better a gtx 285 or a 4850x2 (which kick the gtx 280 in crysis)

  • both doo

    but if you wana play crysis mainly

    go with the gtx 285 cause crysis is kinda

    made for nvidia cards...

  • Not 295?

  • yeahh gtx 285 runs preety coool with crysis and by the way yeah crysis was like hooked up nvidia

  • 285 is worse than 280 in some games but go with the gtx 285

  • well the gtx 295 has higher benchmarks in any game.. only up to resolutions of 1920x1200. any thing above that such as 2560X1600.the 4870x2 will win. but on 95% of games the gtx 295 will smash

  • I've read that in Crysis Warhead the GTX 295 gets better FPS at 2560x1600 than the 4870x2 gets at 1680x1050.

  • are there any liquid cooling solutions for this card or equally the 4870 x2?

  • yep

  • hiow much do they cost?

  • I think the Koolance GTX 295 block is like $150

  • noooooooooooooooo!

    if the ati 4850 is about that it cant be.

  • Read.

    GTX 295 waterblock is $150

  • thats not to bad, it looks evil to put on though compared to as single pcb dual card waterblock

  • Yeah, I'm not looking forward to tearing apart my $700 GPU :|

  • loool ERROR xD

    3:46 "VGA to DVI Adapter" hehe this is "DVI to VGA Adapter"

  • see benchmarks

    of course is it faster

  • one question is this faster than the 4870 x2 ??

  • alot faster, check out the maxishine video comparing them

  • lol the card looks amost exactly like the box

  • guys i'm confused should i buy this or the

    4870 x2 from ati?

  • This is the best graphics card I've ever used, and I've used plenty.

  • im buying 6 DDR3 Gigs om Ram :) So i have It Cool Enough :)

  • i can see that 1 gtx 285 will challenge the gtx295 because the gtx 280 is right next to it in some game so its not worth paying twice the price to get the same rate . so they are telling me the gtx 295 will beat the 4870x2 (supossivly)
