Thread: Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 on Sale in Hong Kong

Nvidia is due to launch 55nm process GeForce GTX 285 at the CES 2009. HKEPC reported first sale of GTX 285 at two stores in Hong Kong for separate prices $412 (approx Rs. 19,700) and $438 (approx Rs. 21,000).

As reported in the Nvidia's 40nm desktop GPU roadmap, GTX 285 is listed in first quarter. It's possible that 40nm built GTX 285 overclocked version with GDDR5 support might come out as well.

Nvidia's high-end 55nm process technology D10U graphics core based GTX 285 modelled as Gigabyte GV-N285-1GH-B was spotted at two different stores. GTX 285 will run at 648MHz with 240 Unified stream processors having 1476MHz shader clock speed and 1242MHz memory clock. Using 1GB DDR3 memory, GTX 285 had TDP rating of 183W, which is less compared to GTX 280 with 236W TDP.

The CES 2009 expo is hardly a week away where Nvidia might debut their high-end performance card GTX 285 and Enthusiast level GTX 295 graphics card.

WOW thats a lot of money isint it?

I might have to start some gaming myself to see what this stuff is all about because I dont have the slightest idea what a grapgics card does to the performance of a game

you should do it admin.

can w8 to buy it !!:P

i wont mind buying at that price, but in india, the cost will almost be 1.5X

Am i correct if i say that AMD/ATI is yet to break the 40nm mark ??

even NV's GPU's are 55nm. I did read somewhere that the ATI HD5xxx series is 40nm. Both 40nm products may come at same time. But i think ATI/AMD will be b4 as they introduced 55nm GPU's much b4 NV. So they seem to have a 'lead'.

NV had the lead prior to the 55nm takedown by ATI so we cant jump to conclusions , but it seems ATI is making rapid strides
