Hopefully the introduction of Geforce GTX275 has caused the price of Geforce GTX285 to reduce significantly.
*
Keep on hoping but this will never come true coz GTX275 isn't better than the GTX285.... It is sandwiched between GTX260 and GTX285.... Unless GTX275 is more powerful then different story but sadly that's not the case...

Market price isn't solely dependent on how fast the speed of the card is.

Although they should sell it by the recommended price, they also could charge slightly different premium or discounts.

There are also other factors such as foreign exchange rate, demand and supply and so on, seller's inventories.
*
Yes, I also agree on this perception but NVIDIA won't screw themselves up by lowering down prices for their single GPU king card.... Unless they hav a better option than the GTX285, then the prices will slowly decline....

Also, it is interesting that many brands (for Nvidia cards) are actually integrating 3rd party coolers for the Geforce GTX260 instead of the Geforce GTX285 more rapidly.
*
By integrating 3rd party coolers, the makers might get more profit since they will change more compared to the reference card.... Just a way of doing business....

alot new games also cannot support SLI right now...not only Hawk...my last remant and empire total war also cannot support SLI
*
Unless u use beta drivers lor.... SLI really gave Last Remnant a big boost during the last time I tried the benchmark and gameplay especially at the resolution I'm currently running which is 2560x1600.... I hope NVIDIA will update the drivers soon.... laugh.gif

wanna ask, how come when i run sli, i cant run in sli mode for 3dmark06?

selected sli enabled in the control panel, but then when i tested 3dmark the result come out the same like single card. and another thing, when i run 3d mark or other games my screen either has artifacts or shows red flickers. could it be due to the different clockspeed of each card? coz one is msi and another is xfx 8800gt.
*
Try testing the card individually.... This will ensure that ur cards are running fine.... If this senario is good, then try to use the 2 cards on reference card speeds so that the OCed card is running on par with the stock one and c how it goes....

guys, i just got my xfx 260gtx (standard) last saturday, using windows 7 rc and latest driver. no riva tuner is installed, just installed speedfan. However, from speedfan reading, i found out my gpu temperature stay around 57-62 celcius during idle and when i run NFS undercover, the temperatur increase to 79-81 celcius. Using thermaltake tsunami casing and no air-cond in my room.  I just wonder the temperature is normal or not.
*
Temperature looks normal to me....

Hi...i got a question....Does pc fair sells graphic cards? Are they cheaper during the fair...or isit the same as buying from those retail stores like pczone or etc?
*
Don't bother with PC fair coz the prices will be the same.... Not worth ur time going to PC fair for graphics cards.....

er..noob here and noob question here.. can i put 2 GTX260 into a ATI Cross Fire mobo? Or only allow ATI card to do that?
*
U can put 2 of those but u won't be able to do SLi on that mobo since the chipset onli supports Crossfire.... U will be able to utilize SLi onli if the chipset supports it.... If u decide to do this, then u onli can use 1 GTX260 for graphics processing and the other as dedicated physx card....

so how's the new driver performing? is the ambient occlusion working? im still using old 185 driver cuz that's the only driver that my ambient occlusion is working... sad.gif
*
The latest drivers are crap.... Can't even run SF4 with SLi mode on.... Keeps crashing.... Using back my trusty old 182 version better.... Latest beta driver is out and it is also crap.... Can't retain SLi mode.... It seems that NVIDIA is not doing a good job on updating their drivers.... Also, some 185 drivers hav very crappy performance and not to mention crashes as well.... I dun even wanna try ambient occlusion since the drivers are not stable.... 182 version seems to give me the best performance in all games.... Maybe I'm sensitive.... hmm.gif

maybe 3-way is too much for the current game to handle? or simply crappy driver.

how bout the 186 driver? I only encounter problems in all betas.
*
Not bcos of setup issue.... I've used 185 also.... 185 seems to give me lower performance than 182.... All the problems I've mentioned is based on WHQL and also Beta as well.... For 186, beta seems to be ok.... WHQL crashes.... 190 is got to be the worst.... Not recommended to try on SLi setups.... It doesn't retain ur SLi settings.... It acts as if ur system has 1 card.... When I c the release notes, the newer versions just add more support and also retains ambient occlusion which the 185 driver has.... Not much changes.... Din try single card.... I believe it's ok to use if u use single card.... Onli not with multi-GPU setups....

The 190 drivers got some problems with certain games.... This is one of the reason why I dun wanna update my drivers anymore after reading the release notes.... sweat.gif
