The specs differ quite a bit. The 295 has the lowest core clock at 576MHz that is equivalent to the 8400GS. The 280 at 604MHz, 285 at 648MHz, and the 4870 X2 at 750MHz. The winner is clear
I stick to my order.
Clock speeds aren't everything though, and you don't buy a 295 to run it without SLI enabled, so having it run in SLI is going to out perform a 280 and 285, and will infact out perform a 4870x2 regardless of clock speeds.
no it can't be true.............. lol
i will reject your reality and substitute my own haha

what!!!!


how dare you use the terms....8400GS & GTX295, in the same sentence
just B/C the 295 has a lower clock speed MEANS NOTHING..


GTX295 = A combined 480SPs, on a combined 896bit bus (the largest on the planet)
not too mention the 2x GT200 cores & the 1792mb VRAM...


GTX285 = 240SPs, on a 512bit bus, 1024mb VRAM (great card, but the 295 surpasses it)


HD4870x2 = 1600SPs, 2gb DDR5, on a combined 512bit bus, 2x 4870 cores (super performer, but still not as powerful as the 295)


8400GS = 450mhz core, 256mb DDR2 @ 800mhz (lol) & god knows how many SPs (this card is CRAP & has no place with whats listed above)



when i see a GTX285 out perform a GTX295, then i shall bump it up the list....

Re: Graphics Card Performance and Classification

The 8800 Ultra should be above the GTS250.

Re: Graphics Card Performance and Classification

The GTS 250 is a 9800GTX+, which typically outperforms an 8800 Ultra unless you're running high resolutions (above 1680 x 1050). The extra transistors and faster clock speeds help out a lot.

Re: Graphics Card Performance and Classification

An 8800 Ultra has more RAM and a higher memory interface with the same amount of shaders. If it can out perform my 8800GTS 512, it can outpeform a 9800GTX+ and most likely a GTS250. If a 9800GTX/GTS250 does outperform it in anything, the difference won't be massive.

Re: Graphics Card Performance and Classification

You missed these Radeon HD 4850 512MB and GeForce 9800 GTX+ Performance Quick Take

And I did say, if the 9800GTX out performs the Ultra in anything, the difference won't be massive, and the most it is on there is like 4 or 5 fps.

I might overestimate the Ultra against the GTS 250 though, as it should run more efficiently, so perform better.
