Single PCB GTX295??

While we'd be more interested in hearing about Nvidia's 40nm products, the latest info regarding the Santa Clara goblin's doings is about the GeForce GTX 295, namely a cheaper to produce, single-PCB version of the company's top performer. Set to feature the same specifications as the current, dual-PCB model - 576 MHz GPU, 1242 MHz shaders, 1792MB of GDDR3 memory @ 1998 MHz, the upcoming dual-GPU model will have a dual-slot cooler bearing one fan covering its front and a backplate, two DVI ports and will require extra power via one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCIe connector.

The slimmed down GeForce GTX 295 is said to prepared for a May release.

Right now the 295 sits at $450 and up so you are probably right.

yup I have design laid out for a $400 system, so far I've got the mobo, cpu, and ram. which cost me about $205 and I'm using the rest for hdd, gpu, and PSU. I actually got the PSU today and suprised a few microcenter employees (i had a list).

Nice. Brings back memories of the ol' Voodoo5 5500.

Oh... you mean this lil'ol thang?

(bare card above the 8800GTS for those unfamiliar)

nah, what I'm thinking is GTX295 on a single PCB card, cooling setup? how it compares to the current sandwich design?

now what would be cool is get that 295 slimmed down to a single slot card... for those 4 or more PCIE slot mobo's on the market for F@H farms

(was looking at a 6 Slot X58 board the other night & having virtual... well... Dreams to say the least, of running 6 high end cards for a farm... not that I'd be able to afford something like that, but would be cool none the less)

central fan pushing air in two directions.

I that basicaly saying one end will blow hot air out the case and the over end blow hot air in the case?

**KarmaKiller** · June 5th, 2009, 05:53 PM

Basically yes.
But they also say the card is designed for an easy fit for watercooling, so I'm sure they'll make aftermarket coolers for it.

I still want one.
