Wake up and smell the coffee by: Anonymous on 1/29/2010
This card has been developed during a recession. No-one has the money to go forward, so EVGA with support from Nvidia have done the next best thing, taken a side step. How many of us at the moment can afford to shell out over £500 for a new GPU? Nvidia have been wise and waited, ATi will need to produce a fast DX11 card at affordable prices if they want to blow Nvidia out of the water without feeling a sting in the tail from this recession.

Really nice card if you do GPU computing.
Fermi by: Anonymous on 11/1/2009
This is probably the card that was designed to run the FERMI demos at the conference NVIDIA just had. It also shows there are no new parts coming up for the green team, as EVGA would be busy trying to make NEW cards instead of this monstrosity of outdated DX10 and PHYSICS (lol) hardware.
I think XFX saw the writing on the wall and bailed out on the green team at just the right time.
Who the hell would want this? by: Anonymous on 10/31/2009
Who the hell would want a card like this? Except maybe Batman, what other game uses Physx in a significant way? No game! All games which use Physx use it for unimportant eye candy effects which don't affect the gaming experience in any way. Why would you put a chip on a card specifically for Physx? Even a 9600GT is good enough for BOTH graphics AND Physx. At least with the GTX 295 you got 50-100% more speed in MOST games.

This is a real Frankenstein card, put together from different pieces of a dead architecture. The ATI HD 5000 are the only relevant video cards right now, and they are also in short supply. It's a sad state of affairs.

EVGA is making this card because they, unlike XFX, currently have nowhere to go and no way to get there and want to keep their engineering talent busy doing SOMETHING.

They wouldn't be doing this if Nvidia was giving them ANYTHING Fermi to put their talent to use on and ANY light at the end of the sales crash/sell at a loss black tunnel they have now entered.

It's a desperation move, pure and simple.
morons by: Anonymous on 10/31/2009
people do u know who is making this card
EVGA not nvidia
nvidia has nothing to do with this card.
by: Anonymous on 10/31/2009
nVidia itself had nothing to do in creation of this card.

People never read the whole story...

haha, what a desperation :)
Even Theo can't help it.
It's Called Desperation by: Anonymous on 10/31/2009
What do you do when you have no competitive product? Bolt together two old chips and hope that marketing can make a sow's ear look like a silk purse!

But when Fearless Leader has already "shown" Fermi to the world, why would anyone buy this thing when they might be able to have the new architecture in a few months?

I'd love to know exactly how many of these are produced and actually sold.

this thing blows. physx sucks balls. as somebody who has used nvidia cards almost exclusively over the past 10 years (only one ati), they really are making me scratch my head these days. 349? WTF?
Seriously ? by: Anonymous on 10/31/2009
I mean mmm it doesn't make sense.
Shouldn't we just get HD5870 at this Price(Almost), and get a DX11 compatible card.
Nvidia guys or partners have to stop this Re-Naming thingy.
Ill Pass!!!
