Death Stryke Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 GeForce GTX 295 Card Exposed VR-Zone scored the first photo of the upcoming GeForce GTX 295 card slated for launch over at CES 2009. The GeForce GTX 295 is based on the sandwich design again like the 9800GX2 with two 55nm GT200 GPUs. As you can see, there are 2 DVI and 1 Display Port. As for the power connectors, it uses 8+6 pins so that gives you a clue how much power this card needs. The pricing is yet to be disclosed but card makers are speculating that Nvidia will price it competitively against AMD 4870X2 card this time.

Death Stryke Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 The displayport looks a lot like an HDMI port to me. Isnt the display port straight from one side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffMonkey Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Its definitely a HDMI port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 The displayport looks a lot like an HDMI port to me. Isnt the display port straight from one side? It will be a double slot card like all new cards the first slot will have two DVI ports and the second slot one HDMI port. Talking about ports the new 4850 X2 supports 4 DVI ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 It could be a mini-dsiplayport like the new Macbooks. Those have a tapered edges on two sides similar to HDMI. But yeah, they should include HDMI instead of Displayport. And, me wantz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, me wantz. 9800GX2 had a HDMI port and latest cards including mine shipped with a HDMI-DVI convertor so it will be and should be very much a HDMI port off the box.

AtheK Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 But the problem is that the industry is trying to shift towards Displayport. that is also true and knowing nvidia they might just incorporate that to be ahead of competition but in case it is true its even better you can have HDMI port then you have HDMI-DVI connector, HDMI-VGA connector and displayport throw any monitor or tv on it and it will oblige...

Displayport is superior to HDMI, isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Displayport is superiro to HDMI, isnt it? Not exactly...basically it just does not require licensing... On the other hand No Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream support on Display port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Graphics cards with HDMI dont support audio pass through either, so thats a zero sum game. Connect Spdif in on the graphics card to spdif out of your sound card and you can have voice through HDMI cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthelon Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Graphics cards with HDMI dont support audio pass through either, so thats a zero sum game. ATI cards have the SPDIF I/O controller integrated on them; so there is audio from their cards... On Nvidia, there is a cable that we need to connect like the one Athek has pointed out..

AtheK Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 GeForce GTX 295 card has dual 55nm GT200 GPUs and 1792MB GDDR3 memories on 896-bit memory interface. The rest of the specs like number of shader processors and clocks speeds are listed as TBA. As for GeForce GTX 285, it is a replacement for the current GeForce GTX 280 card with a 55nm GT200 GPU with higher clocks. Therefore, GeForce GTX 280 cards will reach EOL in a month time. As for GeForce GTX 260, Nvidia has released design kits to the card makers and you should be seeing some self-designed cards in Q1 next year.

MarketTantrik Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm definitely getting one of these. Higher clock speeds FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm definitely getting one of these. Higher clock speeds FTW definetly....but 280 owners will feel a little undone.... But that is what technology is in the end of the day you cut costs and moving to 55nm is the right idea how much heat is generated and how nvidia handles that is a good point that needs to be looked into...
