Nvidia GeForce GTX 285
$350.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Can still handle any game on DX10, full settings, with playable frame rates. Stock fan runs fairly quietly when in light to moderate load. Surprisingly low idle power consumption for a dual-GPU card.
The Cons:Very long and unwieldy--will likely cover up SATA ports on most motherboards. Outdated as compared to Nvidia's DX11 45nm cards. Runs very hot with stock cooling--may require additional cooling in some cases.
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 is dual-GPU powered with a pair of 55nm GT200 GPUs and is a decent step up from the previous model, the GTX 280. It has a core clock of 648 MHz, a shader clock of 1476 MHz and a memory clock of 1242 MHz / 2484 MHz.
