Meet the Inno3D GeForce GTX 295 Platinum single-PCB
Meet the Inno3D GeForce GTX 295 Platinum single-PCB
Today's sample that we are testing comes from these iniquitous people at Inno3D. I was just thinking about it and I can't even remember the sheer number of product reviews we established for them. We like the company very much, good products, innovation, good after-sales and all that based on a fair price.
Talking about prices, the product we test today of course is really expensive, you'll pay an estimated 499 USD or 429 EUR for this product. But remember... this is a dual-GPU based product that will last you a very long time. Now the AIB/AIC partners are not allowed to pre-overclock this new GTX 295 from NVIDIA. Mind-boggling really, as we'll show you in our overclocking test, this card has just so much potential for higher clock frequencies.
So the single-PCB GeForce GTX 295 is one of the first samples Inno3D had in house, and well... we just had to nick it to be able to bring you guys a review.
Anyway, first impression, the card looks good. Proper design, I kind of did like the meshed design from the original GTX 295 a little better though. But this is a good looking card. The card has 240x2 Shader processors available at your disposal, comes at a 576 MHz reference core clock frequency, the shader processors are clocked at 1242 MHz and the 1792 MB of graphics memory is clocked at 999 MHz (= 1998 effective). The memory is configured with a 448-bit memory bus x2, of course.
Packaging and accessories then, included in the box you'll find:
- GeForce GTX 295 single PCB
- Driver CD
- 6-pin to Molex power cable
- Manual / quick install guide
- VGA->DVI dongle
- DVI->HDMI adapter
- S/PDIF cable
- Coupon for game discount Mirror's Edge
- Far Cry 2 Full Game
- Warmonger Full game
I am missing an 8-pin to Molex power cable. So please make sure that your PSU has the newer 8-pin PCIe connector before buying this product.
Other than that the product bundle as always is really good, everything needed is inside the box and we even see two full games bundled, lovely. But let's go in for a closer inspection, next page my man.
