MSI readies 2GB-equipped GeForce GTX 285 SuperPipe

[Final8y]

Introduced last month, MSI's SuperPipe line-up of graphics card is about to be updated to include a new, memory-rich model. The N285GTX SuperPipe 2G is a custom GeForce GTX 285 that boasts 2GB of GDDR3 memory and comes equipped with the dual-slot Twin Frozr cooling system which makes use of two fans and five copper heatpipes - three 6mm pipes and two 8mm SuperPipes.

While MSI hasn't revealed the card's clocks, it's likely the N285GTX SuperPipe 2G comes with stock frequencies - 648 MHz for the GPU, 1476 MHz for the 240 shaders and 2484 MHz for the memory. Other than that, the card features a 512-bit memory interface, 3-way SLI and DirectX 10 support, CUDA and PhysX capabilities, and two DVI connectors.

The price of the N285GTX SuperPipe 2G hasn't been announced but it's possible it will hit stores at over 330 Euro.

Red Nvidia cards look really wrong. The cooler looks the business though, only one less heatpipe than the T-Rad2.

woo, e-peen contest between ati/nvidia on a completely useless card. Whose gonna be first with the 4gb 4870x2 or 295, more importantly who gives a damn.

Why?

I'd be interested to see how it does.

Would probably be most useful in SLi and at a stupidly high res so the available memory is suitably saturated.
