720MHz core, top speed
Today, EVGA has announced the availability of its top model single-GPU card, the GeForce GTX 285 “For The Win” Edition. With clock speeds of a stunning 720MHz core, 1620MHz shaders, and 2772MHz of 0.8ns 512-bit GDDR3 memory, this is the fastest GeForce GTX 285 on the market and offers an effective 177.4 GB/s of total memory bandwidth.
The card, modeled 01G-P3-1288-AR, is available from EVGA’s site and many retailers and e-tailers nationwide with a suggested price of $449.
In addition, we previously reported that GTX 285 cards are based on the Nvidia G200-350-B3 chip, are operational at 1.15 volts, and are expected to reach a maximum of around 750MHz core speeds on standard cooling. Because the FTW Edition is the highest binned model in its class, we can positively say that it definitely should be able to reach, if not exceed, this suggested core speed. With the EVGA GPU voltage tuning utility being released for the GTX 285 in the coming weeks, this should prove to be an exciting task to achieve for many enthusiasts.
On another note, EVGA has announced that it is currently working on a backplate for its GTX 285s as it has done with its GTX 295s. The product not only serves an aesthetic accessory, but is claimed to offer superior heat transfer from the backside of the PCB. More information on the GTX 285 backplate, including an ETA, will be available soon.
