Photos - ASUS GeForce GTX 295

On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at high-resolution and then cropped and scaled down. The camera used was a Canon 450D 12 MegaPixel.

There's no retail review without a box shot here at Guru3D.com, this is what you can expect when you purchase the product.

Here we have the ASUS GeForce GTX 295. The design is 100% standard, as this is an NVIDIA reference design for sure. The reality is that ASUS very likely does not even make the card themselves yet purchases them from NVIDIA. Then they slap a sticker on it and box & bundle it.

When we look at connectivity, we see that we do not have anything to complain about at all. All GTX 295 cards will have an HDMI and two DVI connectors. Both the DVI ports support simultaneous HDCP and are dual link capable. Dual link means you can hook up a high resolution monitor up to 2560 x 1600, and likely even higher.

A thing from the past now is the 7-pin analog HDTV-out mini-din, and S-video connector, or YPrPb (component) or composite outputs. Well, the last time I used that connector was before 2004, so I made my peace with that one.

You can see the GTX 295 is a dual-slot based graphics card. It's needed due to the two PCBs used and obviously it needs proper cooling. The card is the same length as previous high-end cards and falls within ATX motherboard design.
