14 DAY TRIAL // As of recently, a number of NVIDIA board partners have started updating their line of GeForce graphics cards with the introduction of the new GeForce GTX 295 that has been built using a single-PCB design. Leadtek is one of NVIDIA's largest partners, and the graphics card maker is also expected to announce its updated GeForce GTX 295, providing users with a more energy-efficient, single-PCB, high-end graphics card. Part of the company's WinFast series, the new card features clock speeds similar to the initial dual-GPU graphics card.
NVIDIA has designed its latest dual-GPU graphics card, the GT200-based GeForce GTX 295, as an alternative delivered to all those computer enthusiasts looking for the ultimate in graphics performance. Redesigning the high-end card has enabled the Santa Clara, California-based graphics chip maker to provide users with a single-PCB card, a design feature that is similar to the design approach made by AMD for its dual-GPU Radeon cards.
Leadtek closely followed NVDIA and has just updated its lineup with the new WinFast GTX 295 (V2), which includes the same two 55nm GT200 GPUs with clock speeds set at 576MHz, 1008MHz and 1242MHz for the GPU, memory and Shaders, respectively. Aside from that, the card's pretty much standard, featuring a dual-slot cooler with a single fan, 240 processing cores, 448-bit memory interface and 1792MB of GDDR3 memory. There's support for DirectX 10, SLI, PhysX and CUDA, as with all the other NVIDIA-based cards.
High performance usually comes with a high price tag, which is the case with Leadtek's latest product. The card's pricing has been set at 399 Euro, which will provide you with NVIDIA's highest performance graphics card to date, and support for a series of applications that make use of NVIDIA's CUDA and PhysX technologies.
