N.E.A Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 i just wanted to know if there is any diffrence between them ...and why made another one using single pcb.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebridgerofdoom Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 The gtx 295 wins hands down. Its just that the 4870x2 is cheaper and if you don't need the extra horsepower, a better buy. A single pcb is technically the same but i believe it has a lower manufacturing cost. But the price and everything else is exactly the same.

KK_ Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) so why don`t the price drop when making it with single pcb...and i saw on youtube some one ran crossfire with 4870x2 and a 4870 would a gtx 295 work with a gtx 275 on a technicality , a 4870x2 and a 4870 cross fired is the same as 3 4870's cross fire x . because the 4870x2 is actauly crossfire ATI have always been the cheaper rival to Niveda throughout the age of time Edited August 13, 2009 by KK_ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 The gtx 295 wins hands down. Its just that the 4870x2 is cheaper and if you don't need the extra horsepower, a better buy. A single pcb is technically the same but i believe it has a lower manufacturing cost. But the price and everything else is exactly the same. Though for how little more powerful the 295 is, the 4870x2 is a better buy when you can get them for like 250 on ebay (where do you think mine came from ) so why don`t the price drop when making it with single pcb...and i saw on youtube some one ran crossfire with 4870x2 and a 4870 would a gtx 295 work with a gtx 275 The price doesn't drop because the 295 is the strongest card out there...hahahaha, just kidding, it's just because it's nvidia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 And no you cannot crossfire a GTX295 with a GTX275. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E.A Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 and why is 2 gtx 275 better than one gtx 295 ..they score little bit higher than the 295 ..i know 2 cards are better than one ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 why is it because of the clocks or something else...? Simply because NVIDIA does not allow SLI to run on two different cards. If you want a 3-way SLI setup, you must buy three GTX275 instead. But it may change soon. There is a guy who was enable SLI on a P45 mobo using a GTX260 and a 8600GT. See here.

ccokeman Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Technically the GTX 275 is one half of a GTX 295 if you get down to it. The reason for a single PCB, Cheaper to make most likely. This test should answer you question about which one is the best looky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
