Obviously when the GTX295 is running both GPUs it's more powerful. But how much weaker is it than the GTX285 when it's running only one card?
GTX295 vs GTX285
- Thread starter ChrisUlrich
- Start date
just a noob

hard telling, if memory serves me correctly, each of the pcb's is equal to that of the gtx 275, so i would guess around 275 performance

So is it really worth it for me to trade a GTX295 for a GTX285?
I can't run WoW on max settings at max res without dipping passed 30fps and it's super frustrating.

Odd, doesnt WoW support SLI? Also have you tried overclocking your card/turning the fan speed on it up yet?

After u turn on 2nd GPU, u enabled SLI in nvidia control panel?

It's "Multi-GPU Mode."
I enable that, 2nd screen turns off, and both cards are on. That's what I thought anyway. haha

Also, not sure if this applies to WoW but this might help:

What have the folks at the EVGA forums told you about this?
I guarantee you'll find an answer there.
I would not get rid of that card if I were you. Go backwards to
get more framerate? lol You'll get it sorted I'm sure.

Yea dude... you can imagine my disbelief when I put the GTX295 and still didn't get max FPS.

I wouldn't worry about your GTS.
There is something wrong with his card, or the way it's configured.
There's no way the top Nvidia card will struggle to run WoW.

If you are wondering how the GTX 285 will run with World of warcraft, I have a GTX 280 and I run max settings 60FPS.

What do you mean? The way it's configured?
And what resolution do you have WoW at?
And for the record... I can play Crysis at 1680x1050 on Ultra High and get good playable framerates

There's something wrong there. That's why you posted here right?
Have you posted at the EVGA forums to see what they have to say?

Yep. Waiting for a reply. I mentioned what's happening with my PC specs.
