AMD Plans RV775XT To Compete GeForce GTX 285

Reported by on Friday, December 12 2008 1:22 am

We were told about a new RV775XT core which is essentially a fine tune version of the RV770. However, little information was revealed at this point of time but i can say AMD is concentrating their efforts on RV740 instead. We are speculating AMD has been collecting the higher speed bins over the months to make this card out to compete against GTX285 offering. It looks exactly the same as the GeForce GTX 280 card but comes with 2 x 6-pin power connectors instead of 8+6 pins. We are able to confirm at this point that it has 240 SPs, 512-bit memory and 1GB GDDR3 memories just like the current GTX280. Expreview has provided more insights on the GeForce GTX 285 like 183W TDP and 110% performance boost over GTX280.
