here's some benchies from bit-tech on the 280 SLI, 285, 295 ufortunately no 4870 x2 tested

bit-tech.net | Review - Nvidia (Zotac) GeForce GTX 285 1GB


@Earlz is my assumption correct below?

295 is faster than 285
285 SLI is faster than 295
295 SLI is faster than 285 SLI
285x2 SLI(if it will be made) is faster than 295 SLI

295 is faster than 285

Yes, basically thats 2x GTX260 w/ 240SP running in internal SLI.

285 SLI is faster than 295

Yes

295 SLI is faster than 285 SLI

The correct term should be *quad-sli*

285x2 SLI(if it will be made) is faster than 295 SLI

Not sure what you exactly mean here but a GTX285 in SLI might not be faster than a GTX295 in quad SLI, but if ever theres a quad SLI based on a GTX285 then it is definitely faster.

@Earlz: this is what I am planning to make since the mobo mounting panel on my case already has a cut out to expose back of the mobo where the procie is installed. I am going to use a long allen bolt so that it extends pass the mobo mounting panel, then I can have a custom made 6mm plexi glass to secure the allen bolts. I will also expirement on using nylon and lock washers. Here's a sketch of my plan



@kenshiro: if you mean the 4870X2 then it is 2 x 1Gb not 512 mb.

@ glide 1: hehe kuyawan man ko anang raffles

Yes bro, very very similar to that, pero ang among support naa sa likod sa casing ra, i believe that idea is as effective or even better than what we did.

Correction then, I was misinformed by Asus. I guess what she probably meant was new sample release and not really new release.

And the Rig goes to the office and will be used for the whole year for all events Then after that, it mite make it to me but by then, this will be old and 35nm will be out and 5xxxx series sa ati.. Ill enjoy it while it lasts, because by then we will have Ultimate rigs 2010!!

@earlz: point taken, funny thing is usually people just use a lower card for physx but in our case we will be using the higher card, o well, mau man ilang ipadala.

This is where it all started right earlz?

This will be my last reply to this rather pointless discussion.

What I meant here was that the 295 is the latest video NVIDIA is pushing and its funny that the setup we plan to do is to have two 285x then one 295 for physx when it should be two 295s and one 285 for physx. Because, 295 is technically the NVIDIAS highest end card.

NOW.. YOu asnwered me with this right?

I was also talking about the GTX285 in sli, its better than the GTX295.

edit:

The GTX295 is already running in SLI internally, the GTX295 is basically 2x GTX260's w/ 240SP running in SLI.



I dont see anything funny / wrong in that setup, since the GTX285's are faster.



No, your using a cheaper and older card, the GTX285 is 19k each making it 38k for SLI, the GTX295 is only under 25k. Technically the GTX295 is the older card since it came out first before the GTX285.


Just wanted you to have the correct information, since this is for a road show anyway.

Well, what can I say, I guess, I will just have to thank you for correcting me You sure are a smart kid, same old Earlz that we all use to know

Oh by the way, yes the right TECHNICAL term is quad SLI as your arguement has lead here, BUT, they are not marketing the 295 as the SLI ready single card as they did the past GX2. Instead, they opted to name it 295 to be the 285s big brother. So in my opinion, I would still consider having two 295s as SLI since the physical attachment of both (two) cards to a single motherboard would still be considered as SLI and not quad SLI, unless of course I will have 4 295si in motherboard.

But hey, whatever tickles your fance earlz and you know more that I do.

Btw I will be deleting all these useless off topic discussion soon. Fyi to everyone, I think it just taints this thread.

earlz is right, gtx295 is faster than gtx285 since gtx295 is technically two gtx260 in sli. GTX 285 in SLI is faster than a single GTX295, but the GTX295 in quad-SLI (2 GTX295 video cards) is faster than GTX285 in SLI

But that is just it, he is saying the exact opposite: for him the 285 is a better card. Here check this out:

The GTX285 inst technically a "lower" card since it is better than the GTX295 GPU wise with 1GB Memory,512bit memory bus and faster clocks. The GTX295 will be faster if it runs in quad SLI though.

Frankly if you ask me, it just the way he put it, he prolly didnt get what i first meant and he went on a roll.

This is wrong sorry, read why below..

Not to cause any argument here or anything, but you guys got it all wrong.

What Earl meant is this:

GTX-285 3-way SLI (3-285's)
vs
GTX-295 Quad SLI (2-295's)

The GTX-285 3-way SLI wins.

Why you say?

the GTX 285 3-way SLI will be faster. NVIDIA scaling isn't good enough to really see a difference between 3 and 4 GPUs, but the extra memory and memory bandwidth available in GTX 285 Tri-SLI will give it an edge when you push both set-ups to the limit. Also, the GTX 285 Tri-SLI set-up will overclock better if you're into that as well. Note that this recommendation is based purely on a best performance standpoint and does not take price/performance into account.

So, if you have the dollars where do you put your money? – Well, surprisingly the best setup here is the three-GPU configuration that a Tri-SLI GTX 285 card offers. For the most part the HD 4870 X2 manages to suck the most power while offering the worst performance in today's most intensive games (with only a few exceptions being seen).

I suppose the real question is why would you buy Quad SLI over Tri-SLI? - For starters, a single GTX 295 is faster than a GTX 285, so in the event that you want to start with baby steps and take the SLI / Tri-SLI / Quad SLI leaps later down the track, you're going to get better performance today.

As weird as it sounds, the four-GPU setup that utilizes two GTX 295s is actually also cheaper than purchasing a three GPU configuration that uses three GTX 285s. The cheapest GTX 295 on offer over at Newegg is a BFG Tech card and comes in at 499.99 USD, whilst a BFG Tech GTX 285 will cost you 379.99. The Quad SLI setup also manages to use less power and it also doesn't run as hot. There’s no denying the Quad SLI setup is awesome, but the Tri-SLI GTX 285 one is really the fastest VGA setup to date.
