Earlier this year Santa Clara, California-based NVIDIA released its latest GeForce graphics cards, built on its new 55nm GT200 GPUs. Coming in the form of the GTX 285 and the GTX 295 models, these new cards have enabled the company's partners to come out with some new designs using NVIDIA's fastest GPU to date.
One of the latest arrivals comes from Palit, a graphics card maker that has just released a 2GB-equipped version of NVDIA's single-core flagship GeForce card, the GTX 285.
As expected, the new video board has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of all those computer and gaming enthusiasts. The card itself comes with a reference clock speed, but Palit has decided to equip this GeForce GTX 285 with a dual-slot, custom cooling solution, featuring two fans and four heatpipes, for an optimum cooling factor. In addition, users will be able to choose if they want to go for the 1GB or the 2GB model, depending on budget or requirements.
As far as specifications go, the GTX 285 offers 240 processor cores, a GPU core speed of 648MHz and Shader clock speed of 1476Mhz. With the addition of the 2GB of GDDR3 memory, clocked at 2484MHz, the new card from Palit should provide its users with a considerable performance boost, over the reference model.
Aside from that, the new model offers support for the same NVIDIA technologies that are available for all of the latest GeForce cards on the market, including SLI for a multi-GPU setup, PhysX and CUDA. With a 512-bit memory interface and a custom cooling solution that will increase the GPU's life cycle, the new Palit GeForce GTX285 with 2GB of memory should be one of your choices, if you are considering a high-end gaming rig.
Unfortunately, Palit hasn't yet specified any details regarding the card's pricing and availability.
