Nvidia shining at CES 2009

So, here it is as it was expected, Nvidia GTX 295, Nvidia not only shown some of the new graphics cards, GTX 295, 285 at CES (Consumer-Electronics-Show) in Vegas but also released 3d Vision Glasses.

3D Vision Glasses are not something like a tiny 2.1"x2 LCD's put inside the Glasses but it just some material that is hooked with a control module that creates 3D effect. People who tested this product said that its good for a game like Left 4 Dead (Closed Environments)  but not really works well with games with open environments like Crysis, Fallout 3.

Back to the graphics cards that we care about most. GTX 295 (If you don't have a clue) is Dual GPU graphics card, most probably its 2 x GTX260's. Its equivalent to ATI's 4870x2 in most of the game test, however at higher resoulutions it underperforms 4870x2 due to bigger frame buffer 4870x2 (GTX295= 896x2 MB, 4870x2= 2GB). Price wise its 599$ card which ~= 48,000 Rs (Just prey that the dollar value comes down :P), nvidia may price this as well as GTX 285 (Single GPU solution, little better than GTX 280) aggressively in the comming days as the competion is still pretty tough. Nvidia even after good home work, still not able to beat 4870x2 fair and square in each and every game. Comming days are definately gonna be interesting as the prices of these card will drop down in Q1 2009.
