Manufacturing process shrink is something that can excite both vendors and customers alike. Such changes normally lead to an increment in efficiency and performance. At the same time, it also helps in reducing the production cost and increases units’ count produced/wafer. However, the eventual advantage of designing firm often comes at huge upfront price. Since these significant alterations generally result in bugging, they may require fixing prior to starting a full production run. Every test run leads to expenses in thousands. Even, production delays are a costly problem, if new architectures are involved. This is why Nvidia generally updates their products prior to launching new ones. GeForce GTX 285, an updated product from the reputed maker, offers improved efficiency amd performance in comparison to GeForce GTX 280, on which the hardware is based.

Most notable improvement in GeForce GTX 285 is the increase in GPU clock speed by almost 8 percent. Memory clock has been increased by a larger value (12 percent), but it has no impact in performance. This updated graphics unit has both these processors. However, each one of them is handicapped with reduced memory speed, memory bus width and GPU speed.

As per a test conducted on GeForce GTX 285 (model GX-285N-ZDDF), the card sports a GDDR3-2500 and core clock of 670 MHz. Such larger numbers appear more exciting than what they actually are. The figures are less than 1 percent in RAM and 4 percent in GPU of the reference specification. Apart from the basics, XFX comprises of an S/PDIF breakout cable, door tag and DVI-to-HDMI adapter. Breakout cable connects the internal S/PDIF audio output of the motherboard to the power connection of the card. You can access the combined audio/video signal through the output of HDMI adapter.

While such methods have been available on different Nvidia products in the past, most of the packages were without the special cable.

Mixture of two or more geeky franchises always ends up in getting a cataclysmic result. If you’ve been around for some time, there’s very little chance of you finding movies and video games making way to a friendly blend. If we take into consideration the inclusion of Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur 4, who are undoubtedly the two most ill-reputed characters ever created, we are always left with a question that why they are a part of the game in the first place.

Now, another WTF connected with style has hit the scene, but this product is worthy of a purchase. Creators of Burnout series of racing games (not the creators of ultra special DVD quality), Criterion games, have already released a car image which is going to be given prominence in their forthcoming “Legendary cars pack”. This is nothing but a DLC for the game that will soon feature new cars, which also includes the “Jansen 88 Special.”

Jansen 88 has a very close resemblance to Marty and Doc’s ride from Back to the future. The car might not take you to the ultimate decade of the second quarter of the 20th century, but it definitely leaves flames in the rear of the tires and can easily get converted to the hover shape from the very regular shape at the push of a button.

The Jansen is a package of three other cars – “The Cavalry Bootlegger, GT Nighthawk and Manhattan Spirit.” If Jansen is a Deloreon in the background, then in order to know about the other three, we have to keep our finger crossed till the coming year when the game would finally hit the retail market. Till then, the only option left being is to imagine driving the machine, which has been described by the programmers of the game.
