news 28 Posted February 7, 2009 Today we look at the LeadTek WinFast GTX 285. SNIP: A new year can be exciting. It's a time for renewal, and resolutions, and even some times it's a time a new president. But this new year, it was also a time for gamers. At the Consumer Electronics Show this past January in Las Vegas, Nevada, a new video card was debuted, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 285. Built upon the GTX 200 series architecture, the GTX sports a smaller die process (shrunken from 65nm to 55nm) that lowers power consumption and lowers heat, but packs more performance than its predecessors. And though the GTX 285 is the younger sibling to the GTX 280 that was previously Nvidia's top-of-line offering, the new GTX 285 is now definitely its big brother. The GTX 280 has a little brother, in the GTX 260 with 216 stream processors, and LeadTek offered an overclocked version of that video card in the WinFast GTX 260 Extreme+. And though while technically not as fast as its big brother the GTX 280, the factory overclocked GTX 260 Extreme+ posted some impressive numbers, especially if it was coaxed into providing some extra speed with a little extra overclocking. Today we have the LeadTek GTX 285 video card to test and we're going to see just what its capable of doing. http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1482 A post on your site would be great if you can.
