Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 285: Is it a worthy successor to GTX 280?

Nvidia's GeForce GTX 285: Is it a worthy successor to GTX 280?

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.
