295 vs 260 216 sli ????

[corex2]

I got a 260 216, if i buy another for sli will it be as good in performance as a 295 or 285 ?

 

[TheCenturion]

it will be much better than the 285, and will be basically the same as the 295, as a 295 is just 2 260s stuck together with glue

 

[corex2]

anyone else willing to confirm before i buy ?

295 is 2x 280 core* (but only 260 memory interface) the difference in performance between it and a 260 MAXCORE SLI will be minimal and probably in the region of 0.5fps.

* I think it has slightly less ROPs than a 280 but otherwise the same.

no, 295 is definitely 2 260s

GTX 280 has 240SP's, x2 = 480.

GTX 260 216 has 216 SP's, x2 = 432.

So the GTX295 has some stuff reflecting a GTX280.

55nm 260 cores with 240 SP's, 448-bit memory interface and 28 ROPs.

So yeh not really a 260 core, but kind of a hybrid.

oh sorry, didn't notice that, apart from that, everything else is consistent with a 260
