Well i could be worse.

At least i am getting a upgrade out of it.

Now my 3870 Powercolor is not making a noise AT ALL when in game or loading or at menu.

the PSU and motherboard are still completely scilent.

I think its safe to say that Galaxy is a POS

Time for a bump!

Inno3D GTX295 Single PCB Edition Pictured

GPU works at standard 576MHZ core, shader clock is still at 1242MHz while the memory works at 2000MHz.

The card still has 480 cores, 240 per chip, and the total amount of memory is still at 1892MB with a 896-bit memory interface. What Nvidia now calls cores, we still prefer to call shaders.

The card should be available shortly, we expect it this month and we expect that you should be able to overclock it just nicely.

MSI shows its water cooled GTX 285

After Zotac, BFG, and of course EVGA, MSI has decided to do an overclocked water cooled GTX 285 as well. The card features a rather strange looking single slot water block and will be factory overclocked.

MSI has decided to use its own red PCB which is basically ridiculous as it simply screams ATI rather than Nvidia. The card has a 512-bit memory interface and works at 702MHz for the core, 1476MHz for shaders and 2600MHz for the memory. As you can see, MSI decided to leave the shader clock at reference, but we are sure that these can be easily overclocked.

The card has 240 stream processors, has 512MB of GDDR3 memory and supports Nvidia 3-way SLI, Phsyx and CUDA technology. It should be available soon and we will be able to see the price of this water cooled behemoth.

as long as those single pcb 295's blow ALL the air out the back.
Not this out the top or out the front - into the case - business.

Wow, nice find! Shame I've already bought my EVGA GTX 295, but at least the spec's haven't improved Just slightly better cooling, and it's overclocking ability is not limited by the cooling performance, as under load mine never gets higher than 78C at maximum stable overclock. It's good that Nvidia is able to put them on a single PCB now though; at least for future generation cards

Oh wow...yeah...4 x GTX 295's in OctSLI :P hahahahahah

Most setups barely scale after 3 GPU's. Any more for gaming would just be a waste of money
