So we went and upgraded from a Gtx260 to this. Our goal and aim were to get frame rate revising while playing Bioshock. The Gtx260 was barely hitting mid 35 to 45 frames per second using medium configurations. Our Gtx 285 is evidently processing much faster and more smooth.

While using the same settings we are now pushing nearby 55 to 65 frames per second. I have been able to over clock the quarterly 285 with not a singular question at all. It's truly great, certainly is.

This operates with a little more heat in some games than the 260 with the fan manually set at nearby 90. But the carrying out is absolutely worth it I would be the first to say.

People love talking about problems with installing this video card, yet no one at all ever talks mentions how problematic they are to get removed. The Pci Express x16 connector has this locking mechanism that goes into a slot on the video card.

Since this video card is double the total size of these 200 series video cards. You cannot get to the latching mechanism tab to relocate the video card without messing up your fingers on the motherboard parts.

We are running a dual Xeon motherboard however, so possibly some other people will not encounter this same singular situation. But I do believe that the latching mechanism tabs are the appropriate on most motherboards of this class.

You cannot argue it does cost a little bit more for the improvement, any way since I cannot begin to run dual cards this has to be the closest to the most awesome singular card solution I can use for right now. We are yet to be ready to stand up and pay for the 295 video card at practically double the money, plus concern about dual card issues.
