Any idea whether an XFX GTX285 Black Edition can change it's stock cooler?

Im not sure whether ATi will work for this part...but since goggling for many days..it seems end of the day it brought up the issue by nVidia Driver....for title of "HDMI" distorted

Cant seems to find the word ATi for this issue "hope im right about it"
Even i asked around at Audiophile/LCD Thread/HTPC thread..no one give an answer...

Im out of ideas....latest driver...good graphic card im assume
But i'm curious, y does the manufacturer printed the box with HDCP and HDMI supported..whereas this HDMI distorted issue is been awhile form 2008 (from nVidia forum and other article)

by any change u know where to get that?

your LCD tv model please.

lolz.. all of the sudden come out to ask question and answer on his own. haha i guess blind ppl also know gtx285 better bcoz of 1GB speed

>_>

the speed is not 1gb, its the memory size

1GB speed??
Memory Speed 1GB i think??

tell me, LCD TV not compatible with gpu

i dont think 1gb memory will give big effect compared to 512mb..am i right??

lolz.. gtx285 is almost like an oced edition of gtx280, the same 1gb ram (not speed=mhz)

1gb gives smoother gaming on high resolution screen ie. 1920x1200.

512mb will be suit for 17 - 22 inch LCD Monitor
896mb - 1.76G will be suit for 24 - 30 inch LCD Monitor

The GTX285 is an improved version of the 280. Architecturally the same, only difference is the the processor unit. The 280 had the old 65nm chip while the 285 has the new 55nm chip. This new fabrication allows for lower power consumption and allows the card to be clocked at a higher speed. =D

if no big effect whats the extra 512mb for?

3rd party coolers look promising but i've read that some still claim stock reference is better since it exhaust hot air out of the case instead. btw im refering to the dual slot nvidia reference cooler. can anyone share their experience on this? let's say, like gtx285 reference cooler compared to the AC accelero extreme 280? thankyou thankyou!

IIRC , GTX280 using 8+6 pin pci-e power slot while GTX285 using 6+6 only

Yup, you are right.

I grab this chart from AceCombat for gtx280. AFAIK gtx280 and gtx285 use the same stock cooler.
But in this case, we just wanna see the improvement over stock cooler.

lol..im not saying 512mb have an extra..
just saying there's no big effect..
as owikh84 1GB memory is better for high resolution..
peace:peace:

Having a bigger memory is not only for big screens you know >_>

humm, imho, the extra memory could be for higher reso gaming, or maximum AA/AF setting, or some games just demand more vram
