EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 Video Card

[WorldPeaceGaming]

if anyone wants to buy one i got a brand new one to sell

[TheGreenSmoke]

I love the red stripe on the side. I wish the new cards from EVGA still retained the stripe...

[interpird350]

Yea sure this card needs 550 W

[dmana3172]

That EVGA sign on the box is the motherboard I got from NewEgg. It's EVGA, X58 Classified3 E670, and I also bought Intel core i7 950, DDR3 1600 12 GB and HD Radeon 6780 by XFX. I used to have E6600 2.4 2 Duo processor with 8 gig at 667mhz. Please tell me, do you think it's much better and faster than my previous system?

[apache249]

I'm going to pick up a couple of these when the Fermis come out.

[henrox555]

anyone overclock this beast? With percision how high can I put it?

[tommerthemen]

Hi, is this card better then GTX 260 Sli? (not overclocked)

[manfromhell1234]

@tommerthemen not at all

[L3G3nD0001]

@tommerthemen Yes, this card is a lot better than having GTX 260 SLI.

[powerdrone69]

@tommerthemen don´t thinks so

[solitaire475]

There's my beautiful card. The one & only GTX 285 !!!

[naturacultica]

[solitaire475]

Sorry too man. Peace !!!

[badboycarlos]

that look slike my evga gtx 260 55nm rev.1

[nubjealvin]

what is better 2 ati 4890 or 1 285gtx

[hahaha10001]

2 4890s

[AmH032uTuBe]

I'd say 2 4890's but don't take my word for it.

You could get a good boost in NV based games like Crysis, DOW, Batman: Ark.Asy.

I'm an ATi person, I've never really owned any new NV cards, so I wouldn't know.

I can't just say the 2 ATi cards will do better than a dual GPU based NV card, because if I haven't tested it it's rude. :)

[nubjealvin]

whaha i have 2 xfx ati 4890 cards i was just interested what is faster

the only thing i know is that nvidia haves better drivers most games runs better on a nvidia card crysis and warhead runs really bad on my pc that's sad

[AmH032uTuBe]

well my single 2600XT 512MB GDDR3 runs crysis on a mix of high and medium. about 30-35FPS average, depends some days.

[1988scottcarey]

i'll just get the gtx 300 when it comes out

[wolfcrapshit]

My lover NVIDIA The rest sucks like MSI T

WTF is that its say MSI dont make sense i got MSI and its sucks wiondows vista too, NVIDIA the best in the world you can play do anything!!!!!

[coldroll6]

epic soundtrack also you should review some asus brands as well.

[carinhas10]

600w chegam para a gama das 285

[DMaN4245]

asus p6t motherboard

Core i7 920 2.66

ocz 6gig platinum

evga gtx 285 superclocked

seagate 160 gb

Will 750 WATTs power supply handle this system?

[nvideabelgium]

yes im sure about that , a friend of me runs 2 gtx 285 with a 750 w powersupply, i gonna buy the same system as you only i will go for a 1 TB hdd

greetings

[FragileStaticCircus]

Easily.

[d24tdi]

Yhea.. i think around 550 its minimum

[FragileStaticCircus]

3 GTX 285's is better than 2 GTX 295's?

[ucgangsta12]

yes

[dubmywub]

2 gtx 295 is cheaper and not much slower than 3x gtx 285's

[tiagom135]

10 euros cheaper thats alot lol

[d24tdi]

2 brains is better then 1.. well 3 brains is better then 2 brains ^^

[cashoplz]

Any recommanded power supply for this baby?

[FragileStaticCircus]

Corsair 650TX 650 watt power supply will power this card with ease, but the power supply you buy depends on your other components, you might want a 750 watt Corsair power supply to future-proof your system.

[GerardoPerez]

Im getting 2 of these for sli? Is it worth the money?

[FragileStaticCircus]

2 of these in SLI plays like a dream.

[GerardoPerez]

awesome! I have one on the way with my new gaming rig! Later on ill buy the second one! =)

[xBADxB4NDITOx]

GET 3!!!!!!

[Ace33blue]

Uh yeah.

[GerardoPerez]

uhhh ok

[noilldillon1]

i would give my left nut and my arm for this card

[crystal19831]

wich is stronger for 1080p full HDTV a single gtx 285 2GB or single gtx 295 or single gtx 295 plus ?

[chesterlim15]

GTX295= 2 gpu in one card GTX285=1gpu

[AlexanderLewis27]

i got this card, its kick ass

[JakesterCorp]

I got its lilbro! The 275 from XFX, its almost just as good as the 285, so im pretty happy with my card :D

[Kr4zi4ur0mg]

What happened to your glasses?

[PeSiCkU007]

Help!

I need a PSU that has 6x 6pin PCI-E connectors and that looks cool, like a blue led or something.

Thx for ur soupportz :)

[CoBeProductions]

... you care about the way it looks? Let me guess, first build? Go with performance over looks! Almost every PSU comes with atlest 3 or 4. and the gtx 285 comes with two 6 pin power connectors. What wattage do you want? You will need to good voltage on the +12v rail... Have you thought about any of this? Or do you only want it to look at?

[mueller309]

he's probably got a cpu case that has a glass side. I don't blame him if he does, but if it's a regular case, then he's retarded.

[CoBeProductions]

I have a see threw case for one of my computers, but I still have a black matte PSU. It is in the corner... not many people notice it. I don't think it is ugly either. All im saying is that cool looking PSUs are usually more expensive and not as good. Price + Performance. Leave looks out of the equation.

[pigflesh]

Pfft, I bought all my parts strictly for performance. It looks great too.

[CoBeProductions]

same here

[loccy555]

does anyone know a cheap affordable graphic card i can buy.

I have a 2.5GHz Processor and 2GB of ram. Plz Help.

[devkamal]

for gaming or to watch hd files?

[loccy555]

gaming

[devkamal]

U can go for ati hd 4850 or nvidia 9800gt..

[loccy555]

is a nvidia 9800gt better than a nvidia 6150SE? coz I bought a new computer and it has a 2.5GHz Processor and 2GB ram but no graphic card... :(

[devkamal]

If im not mistaken 6150 is an intergrated graphic, and its outdated, so yes, 9800gt is better...

[loccy555]

awsome, do u know what frame rate it would play on Counter-Strike SOURCE? also, what does intergrated graphic mean? thx mate

[wolfincommand]

Any card made is the last three years should play CS:S flawlesslessly. You do NOT need this powerful of a card for Source Games.

[MAMW93]

you won't be able to get hardly any frame rates with an integrated chipset. and integrated graphics don't have a gpu. they are a chip built into the motherboard that steals from the CPU. a 9800gt would let you play Crysis but integrated won't let you play crap.

[Richthegamer99]

EVGA GeForce GTS 250 Superclocked 1024MB

[miniclip6262]

loccy555, get a HD 4870 there better than

9800 gx2 and gtx260 and their cheap

[Raralphy12345]

You mean 9800GTX+?

GX2 is way faster than the 4870.

[FragileStaticCircus]

4870 X2 is faster than 9800 GX2, though.

[Ace33blue]

True, but is also much newer.

[FragileStaticCircus]

yeah, true.

[neofx]

WHERES BENCHMARKS????????!

[sat590590]

Why i got only GeForce 8800gtx....

[curse154]

Clock for clock GTX 285 is still faster than 4890.

[rentacowisgoogle]

How is this card the fastest when the Hd 4890 has a 850 mhz core clock and 4 Gb memory clock? I'm not trying to stir anything up I just want to know what the difference is.

[background001]

I don't compare card by spec much. I usually see benchmark in games or application.

[Xigmatek]

Yea!

Smoking fast GPU!

I was amazed when I turned 4x AA on in Crysis and the frame rate didn't change at all.

Amazing!

[CheeseMoe13]

YOutube is as slow as fuck

[DLC77]

Yeah wth is up? Much slower than normal.

[shaolindreams]

yep its not you or me.. its definitely youtube servers :( sucks bad

[CheatGamers]

i thought it was just me

[ohnzee]

Yeah.. i thought it was my connection or something

[elfslay]

Heh, I thought it was because AVG was running a computer scan... And for some reason, my freaking new N draft router is giving me a slower download rate than my 5 year old router.

[MrOctobarthe18th]

@CheeseMoe13 no it isn't that, you have slow internet...n00b!

[emuman4evr]

Albert is sick again! D=

[sammywammy8]

there is a 2gb version....

go on newegg

prices range from $284.99-$449.99 (for the 2gb =D)

[szewei85]

hahaha finally the beast is reviewed...that's more 6 months of waiting after the official release lolz

[wcchalo]

Albert, you should be a pornstar!

[z1pfL]

hi 12year old little kid which doesn't understands any bad saracasm :)

[dacooter]

i missed the first comment

[Deospeon]

Albert + Sam = BEST COUPLE EVAAR!

[pcandcargeek28]

great card, be cool setup 3 x gtx 285's, core i7 965, couple of raptors or ssd's maybe water cooling.. that would be really fun to play with lol

[devilshalash]

ok guys i have an evga gtx 285 1gb just like this one i want to get sli can i get the new evga gtx 285 2gb version ?????

[scotsocool]

You could but wouldnt get the benefit of the extra RAM

[codejunki567]

theres no 2gb 285 maybe ure thinkng of the 295

[devilshalash]

dude there is a 2gb go to evga and check

[mmcrisis8888]

what a fucking beast

[Johny40Se7en]

looks really nice, I'm just curious about this card? how much are these GTX 285's?

[Zeldafreak131]

there in the $350 range on newegg

[YoungTeufelhunden]

Gtx 275 = $239.99, Gtx 285 = $329.99, Gtx 295 = $399.99. And of course there are also overclocked and superclocked versions of each, and those are more expensive.

[TeoJordanGR]

Um... i think that EVGA GTX 295 SVGA (PCI-Express, DDR3, 1792 MB) is better than 285.... so why do they review a graphic card that is already in stores?

[Sha1dov]

The 1ghz HD 4890 are faster than the GTX 285 stock, so it's not THE fastest :P

[scotsocool]

That 4890 is not factory though

[Sha1dov]

There are plenty, tho.

[8nVidiaGTX8]

Fucking awesome review albert!

[Deospeon]

OMG Albert I've been waiting for this forever!

Thanks! I love you!

[iWoopWoop]

how the hell can u say this sucks? freakin nooooooob

[KingCitaldo125]

9800GTX GTX+..... As far as I'm gunna go

[Moonface00z]

GTX 285 sucks...

If you want high rating gaming .. go for GTX 295 + ... its a dual GTX 285 ... as the guy said below me.

[yalolol]

It doesn't "suck".

Just because there's a card that's one more step up from it doesn't automatically make it suck.

If anything, it's an amazing card that isn't the fastest card in the line of GTX's.

[nightsingh]

i y is ther 2 of this uploded

[Arkmenra1880]

this video quality SUCKS!!! where is the HQ and HD mode?!

[Kg363]

youtube has to render/process it.

[Res0lut1on]

@Arkmenra1880: wow...

[0dxd0]

hmmm i wounder if my antch 500w basiq psu would be enough hmmmmmmm

[mrNHC]

weak

[iMartger]

Tell me are there 1-pcb AND 2-pcb GTX285's?

[Younowkoed]

well, asus is making a Dual gtx285 card called the gtx295 plus, only about 1000 will be made, can be used in quad sli.

[Xarieus]

i have a 9400 gt 1gb :( this makes me feel like a noob

[0dxd0]

u should lolz i have a 4850 pretty cool card but i want this sooo baaad

[fannypenis]

its better than my GF7050 onbored -_-

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

when were these released?

[maxnanabas09]

Nvidia rules!!

[Apocolypse109]

wowowowoowo

[thefamilyk]

Do you think I could run two of these in SLI on a 830 WATT PSU?

[iWizzard]

yarr Np

[cssful]

if you have awesome quality psu then can run tri-sli on 830w..

[Arkmenra1880]

nope minimum 850 watts go for Corsair HX1000 Modular... 1000watt PSU!

[iMartger]

no, 1200W

[operationturkey]

Yes you can. Don't listen to the nub cakes recommending 1000W +

A decent power supply is what's important, not just the wattage. Go to the "eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Lite v2.5" (google it) and put in your system plus the cards in SLI. You will need roughly 600W minimum, which is fine if it is a good brand (PCP&C, Antec, Corsair, Enermax, Seasonic). If the brand is not so good, it will not cope well with the amperages on the 12v rails so you will need around 800W.

[nastyguard007]

Thanks for the site! I was worried, that changing my XFX 8800GS AD edition to a 9800GTX+, and I would have to change my power supply, but I don't.

With my current system, it calculated that I need a 267W, and with the new card I will need 323W, but right now I have 500W, and I thought it wasn't enough at first. Thank you eXtreme Power Supply Calculator! =P

[zurikaten]

Why did they stop doing benchmarks?

[iWizzard]

They change with Driver updates....

ie. The 9800Gt Got 100FPS inCoD4 but after a year of updates it get's like 150 For ir don't know if thats real(about the CoD4 and 9800GT) or not but with new updates you get new fps.

[CerealzTheDude]

kewl

[Fxr1212]

cool i have the 9800 gx2

[sora778]

First, Awesome card.

[gigga97]

Gotta get me one of these!

[TakeMeDown2FunkyT0wn]

Why is he reviewing the 1GB version? There is a 2GB version already. SC and SSC also.

[ryanbycraft]

Same card just with 2GB of frame buffer. So theres no point?

[TakeMeDown2FunkyT0wn]

There's little discernible difference between the 1GB and 2GB if you play in a resolution lower than 2560 x 1600.

[Nitro090995]

Well, if you have alot of eye candy (AA and AF) then the extra framebuffer will help
