news 28 Posted January 27, 2009 Hello, We’ve just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked to it. Thanks greatly! “In our tests the GTX 285 is certainly faster than the GTX 280 it replaces, and even trumps ATI’s fastest single-chip offering the Radeon HD 4870 for pure speed - if not on price. But fast as it may be, when compared to a higher performing Radeon HD 4870 X2 that can be had for just £295, it’s hard to recommend. Having said that, where multi-GPU scaling is done well, the Radeon HD 4870 X2 easily leaves the GTX 285 far behind. But when a game doesn't utilise multiple GPUs effectively, the gap between the two is very close. If you’re dead set on nVidia, you may as well go the whole hog and get a GTX 295 – budget and PSU permitting of course! The GTX 285 may be the fastest single-chip card in nVidia’s current line-up, but until the California-based company gets more competitive on its pricing, ATI beats it in the performance/value stakes. If you're already running a GTX 280, upgrading to a GTX 285 is pretty much pointless.” http://www.itreviewed.co.uk/rev.php?id=889 _____ Christian Harris Founder & Editor, ITreviewed.co.uk (formerly BIOS) info ( -at -) itreviewed.co.uk _____ Share this post Link to post
