GeForce GTX 285 review | 3-way SLI



As much as Intel has a Tick-Tock (one year new architecture - following year refresh architecture) design strategy, so does pretty much any chipset manufacturer on this globe. So when NVIDIA released their series GTX 200 products in the summer of last year, it was no surprise to see a spin-off product anytime soon. For NVIDIA this probably is a much welcomed respin product, as the GTX 200 series was based on a 65nm fabrication process. Since the GTX200 series are among the most powerful GPU on this planet, it made the GPU big with an astounding 1.4 billion transistors. Monolithic, was the stigma that got attached to the design.
