NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 / 295 review roundup

NVIDIAs GeForce GTX 295 is only a week old at retail, but that hasnt stopped the company from turning around and releasing yet another card -- the GTX 285 -- today. The reviews for both are in and from what weve read, the GTX 295 seems to match or outshine its AMD Radeon HD 4870 X2 counterpart in most performance tests. As for the GTX 285, the general consensus is that its the fastest single-GPU graphics card on the market right now. Its only slightly better-performing than the GTX 280, however, so if youve already got that, its probably not worth the upgrade. Were not gonna pretend to understand every benchmark result, but well gladly point you in the right direction.
