GRAPHICS CARD REVIEW

So, what exactly is a GeForce GTX295? Well, basically, it's a pair of two 55nm GTX 260 cards joined by a SLI connector. Those two have been enhanced with some additional texture filter units and extra stream processors.
Each GPU has 896MB of GDDR3 memory and that makes a total of 1792MB.
The EVGA GTX 295 comes with stock clock rates, which is a bit different from what we used to see when EVGA is in question. This can be due to high temperatures of the cores, because GTX 295 is a pretty hot stuff. It is not that bad at idle, but when it comes to load results, things get really hot. Both GPU's cross the line of 80 degrees Celsius just after a few minutes of load testing.
Power consumption of EVGA GTX 295 is around 180W at idle. Peak load results do get a bit bigger, around 400W. But that is still below the 4870 X2 when speaking of efficiency. So we do recommend you use some 650W and above power supply for this one. If you choose to have two of this cards, be ready to get some 950W or higher power supply.
If you are looking to buy a new GPU, and are up for some extreme performance and ultra-high resolutions, then EVGA GTX 295 is the right stuff for you. Also, you shouldn't forget that EVGA comes with a lifetime warranty for all of their products.
