Computex 2009 - Day 2 - The Nangang resurrection -
ASUS
Remember the dual GTX 285 based card we talked about earlier? ASUS is showing it at Computex. The card, although it retains the name 'GeForce GTX 295', same device ID, and is compatible with existing NVIDIA drivers, has two huge innovations put in by ASUS, which go far beyond being yet another overclocked GeForce GTX 295: the company used two G200-350-B3 graphics processors, the same ones that make the GeForce GTX 285. The GPUs have all the 240 shader processors enabled, and also have the complete 512-bit GDDR3 memory interface enabled.
This dual-PCB graphics card holds 32 memory chips, and 4 GB of total memory (each GPU accesses 2 GB of it). Apart from these, each GPU system uses the same exact clock speeds as the GeForce GTX 285: 648/1476/2400 MHz (core/shader/memory).
And of course ASUS had set it up in SLI as well... so that's four active GTX 285 GPU cores right there... it shattered a 3DMark score.
New for their high-end GeForce graphics cards is Tracker 2 software. This is a tweak utility software suite for ASUS GPUs. It's going to be really extensive with loads of readouts.
On the tweaking side of things there's nothing to complain about either. All primary tweak functions are there, even voltage regulation of the GPU, though limited for end-users.
A horrible photo, but this is the Matrix series GeForce GTX 285. Custom cooled and overclocked. And they built in a gadget. Once the GPU starts to heat on top, where you can see the Matrix logo, there's a series of LEDs that will color from blue to red reflecting the heat state of the graphics processors. Nice, cliché and totally bling. But that looks really fun.
It's silly we know, it's not at all related to journalism I know and you know what, it's not professional or even friendly towards women. But but any guy will agree with me, it's in our genes and as such I call a joker card on this. We men just can't help it. Welcome to an article without a lot words, it's just women... the booth babes of Computex 2010.
