IF YOU LIKED our set of 285 scores, we present you with over 100 more GT295 scores. Unlike the 285 article, we promise to be less snarky this time.
Just kidding. Here are the scores, once again on an Intel i7 3.2/965 overclocked to 3.33 for no real reason. It still uses 6G of DDR3/1600 9-9-9-24 on the broken OS SP1, 64-bit. The drivers are the 180.87s, and they are not WHQL'd, Beware of NV pre-release drivers, they have a way of scoring higher than what come out in the next WHQL set... coincidence of course.
We spent the last few days checking all over Taiwan, and the 295 is pure vapor. There are only going to be a handful made to grab some benchmarks and give to the press, then bye-bye. If you don't have one yet, you probably won't get one. Some might call it a sleazy PR stunt to take advantage of the gullible and use the press, but if were up to us, we wouldn't be so nice.
Once again, here are over 100 benches, 101 to be exact. They start out at 1920, and move on to 2560 just like the last ones. Once again, enjoy them, this couldn't happened if we played ball, so for your added and early enjoyment, we don't.
Our deepest condolences go out to those who do. µ
1920 SCORES
2560 SCORES
Good job charlie, keep up the good work
So whats the chances of being able to buy of of these tomorow?
What chance of survival does a drop of water have in hell...
Hi liars, these scores are from NVIDIA Reviewers Guide. And GTX 295 i can buy in many European shops. Gigabyte has them on stock in many countries.
Nice benchmarks other that they're quite useless when you don't compare them to ATI cards. Of course since Nvidia's new offerings beat them, you don't want to show that positive aspect, but rather brag with your early scores.
Keep nicking the benchmarks from the nvidia reviewers PDF ! heh I hope nvidia find out who gave you it.
hits by any means possible, you go girl !
now all you have to do is admit that you didnt expect this card to exist, or sell for a comparitively reasonable price agains 4870 x2.....
Looks like Charlie just helped me find my new video card- nice fast single card for windows gaming, plus useable under linux (which is about 60% of my PCs booted time) unlike the horrible painfest that is the ATI linux drivers.
Good one!
wow charlie, just "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V" and then you're a reporter? these are the nvidia benchmarks using nvidia's media drivers (the ones that inflate scores)! and this card is already available in the states for $520.
Those score are mighty if they're right.
but (excuse my ignorance) is 295gtx only a die shrink of the 280 to 40nm?
result seems way too good for just that.
"We spent the last few days checking all over Taiwan, and the 295 is pure vapor"
Wow, and to think that if you spent less than a minute as of this moment (9:23pm local time, Jan 7, 2008) doing a quick search at Newegg, you would've found not one, but 4 different models on sale from Asus, EVGA, BFG and Zotac, all in stock, I feel so bad for you wasting "days" checking all over Taiwan LOL
Keep on spreading the FUD....
If any one would be kind enough to tell where i could buy one. There are non available at newegg

Not vapor at all (or paper launch, as some call it). I bought mine 2 days ago at a store that had 10 which were all sold until the closure of the store, and had a bunch more coming in next Monday (the 12th-Jan).
About as hard to find as a box of cheerios .... ok, well it's harder than that, but it's in stock at newegg.com and zipzoomfly.com, and all over ebay ......
The BS continues to flow ...... seems that is not hard to find in Charlies' articles either.
