    This is for gaming wise

    Just my comments

    I'd like people to post there options and comments to my comments

    GTX 295 is scoring higher benches then the GTX 480. Maybe it's due to the GTX 295 being a dual gpu card?

    The GTX 295 and the GTX 480 have the same amount of cuda cores

    However I'm wondering if they are going to release a dual gpu card like a GTX 495

    It seems like from a GTX 295 to a GTX 480 is going to be more of a downgrade then a upgrade for pc games at the moment.

    One example

    GTX 480 has only more 10.7 more FPS then the GTX 285! :eek

    Same again

    GTX 480 has only more 10.7 more FPS then the GTX 285! :eek

    There is probly more benches but there are just two

    Also the specs are slower

    New drivers will prob help the benchmark scores.

    I have been following the reports on this new card with the intention of buying one but the more i read the less enthusiastic i become.

    It is not only close to a GTX 295 but it has a heat problem so a good cooling system is needed.

    As i delve deeper i am torn between buying another GTX295 (i fried my last one and it was my fault) which i believe is the better card or buying buying a GTX260 and sli it with the 260 i now have in the rig.

    My personal opinion is that Nvidia have dropped a brick with this new card.

    They did drop a brick

    GTX 480 has cooling issues?

    I'm saying this is the best nvida could do?

    I wonder how much better cuda is on this card compared to a G200 card.
