P. Even tea ... why do you think we became so objectionable ... I mean, why do you think we aren't objective ... Wait a moment... Why we objected ... thats it ... why we objected ... even back then we knew that we would have to pay too much for video cards ... Besides, it is so hard to fake the accent all the time ... and to misspell words by adding even more unneeded letters ... You need to start a revolution ... no representation without taxation ...

We are interested to know how much is the real power consumption and working temperature with the 295GTX. We would like to set up 4 on the same machine. Can anybody provide this info if they bought one? gdf ID: 5456 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Some experiences: when I started crunching with the stock adjustments the temperatures soon went beyond 80°C, accompanied by computation errors, so I had to stop the test. Unfortunately nvclock won't work yet, so I modified the GPUs BIOS to adjust the fan settings. Now they are configured to run at 100% and the temperature is around 53°C - 55°C with inner case ambient temps of 38°C to 40°C (both measured by the GPUs sensors). I think this should be a healthy temperature for 24/7 use, especially when compared to a 9800 GX2 which showed about 5°C more in the same case. ID: 5608 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Hi UL1 - what are you thoughts with the card now it is up and running - are you getting the performance you expected - does it get through as much as a pair of 260s !
