About to take the big plunge on a new I7 w/975 Extreme, contemplating either of the EVGA cards. Have been hearing about cooling issues with the new fan set-up on the 295. Anyone have a 295 seeing any issues atm?
 
Havent heard any issues with the GTX295 co-op(single pcb). Unless your benching with dry ice or ln2, save your money and get an i7 920. They all overclock similarly on air/water..
 
Depends on how far you want to take it. If I recall correctly a 285 is pretty close to a 295, but a lot cheaper. And if you want two 295's you'll be looking at over $1000, and for that money you could get three 285's that would beat two 295's.
 
the difference is about 100 dollars atm, and thats for the lowest evga, no SC or FTW edition, to the co-op. I guess i should just pony up the $$$ and get the 295, only 100 more.
 
Since your blowing so much money on the CPU, I guess money isn't an issue for you? lol


Mind I ask what mobo are you going to be using?

On newegg I got each of my evga GTX 285's for $344 (regular ones) with a $20 rebate and the regular EVGA GTX 295 was $589 so the price difference for the EVGA models is over $200.
