GeForce GTX 295

Was thinking of putting together a new pc. Why does ocuk have only 3 different 295's?

I don't think ever been around in particularly high volumes due to the high price point. But I reckon the main reason is that NVidia are about to release the gtx 295 respin, the same card, but using a single PCB instead of two in a sandwich. This new board is likely to be cooler (better overclocking) and cost less to make (may retail cheaper). As they are supposed to be released in mid-May, you would be best waiting a week and getting a new card then.

they have had supply issues for quite a while now. Honestly unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket I would not buy one right now. Wait for the next version of the cards direct x 11

Yea, I was thinking of getting a gtx295, but the gt300 really is looming now. My plan is to get a gtx 285 in a month or so from EVGA, then when the new gt300 cards come out i'll "step up" with EVGA to the new flagship card.

Just buy 1, you'll be saying the same when DX11 come's out, wait for dx12.. By that time people would have upgraded imo..

This. I did

Damn it would be a shame to get one now then. Im not really updrading for any particular reason other than I feel like it. Crysis is the only game that I cant play. Even at that it plays but not the way id like it to.

I shall wait.

dx11 looms but nvidias part might not even come this year and there is differing rumours on ati's also so i say buy now.

 

[FaceplantSi]

I agree. Buy now or you could be waiting for ever.

If you still have a nice gaming experience then just hold on at least till until there is somethign concrete about release dates for the next gen of cards.

Maybe buy a 260/275/4890 and then either put another one in later in the year or sell it and buy a dx11 card. Yor probably won't make a HUGE loss if you do that.

 

[fr0sty]

Well maybe ill hold out and then get windows 7 at the time as well. If I build now ill have to buy a new xp oem cd as well This computer died and needed a reinstall a couple of weeks ago.

Grrrr... I wish they'd hurry up and release new stuff already! Imagine how slow it would be if there were no competition in the market.
