Reviews of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 295
-
CNET Review
The Good: Best single-card 3D performance available; more power efficient than its competition; PhysX support adds some bells and whistles to a few games; DVI and HDMI output.
The Bad: Still a power hog, despite its relative efficiency.
The Bottom Line: Nvidia's GeForce GTX 295 is the single fastest 3D card on the market, and for a relatively aggressive price. Added bonuses like power efficiency and PhysX support sweeten the deal, but even without those extra benefits, we'd still recommend this card for its processing power and comparative value.
