14 DAY TRIAL // Santa Clara, California-based NVIDIA is expected to announce the launch of its new, updated version of the GTX 295 graphics card. As we reported in previous articles, the upcoming model has been designed to make use of two GT200 GPUs on a single PCB, a significant design change from the company's current GTX 295, which uses two GPUs on two PCBs. The release of the new model is slated for later this month, but it appears that a full range of pictures of the card have recently surfaced on the Internet.
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 295 is the company's top dog in terms of performance, featuring two 55nm GPUs ready to provide computer enthusiasts with a high level of computing and graphics power. Due to its high-end features, the card is also the most expensive GeForce graphics accelerator you'll be able to purchase at this time. However, NVIDIA plans to change that, as it wants the GTX 295 to be a bit more affordable to all those fans out there. This is exactly where the redesigned, single-PCB GTX 295 falls into place.
The card features the same clock speeds as the current GTX 295, but sports a single PCB design that will allow the company to reduce the price of the card. The specifications of the single-PCB GTX 295 include a 2x448-bit memory interface, 480 processing cores, a 1792MB of GDDR3 memory and GPU, shader and memory speeds of 576MHz, 1242MHz and 1998MHz.
Unfortunately, there are no more details on the release date of the new card, but according to previous reports NVIDIA is expected to launch the new model before the end of this month. The pricing is expected to remain the same at first, as the single-PCB GTX 295 will eventually replace the current dual-PCB GTX 295.
