GeForce GTX 295 dual-GPU card spotted in the wild

Pictures of a purported new Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 GPU are circulating the web, with the card expected to make its official debut at the CES in Las Vegas this January. The two-in-one card is reported to combine two 55nm GeForce GTX 260 GPUs via internal SLI, and while clock speeds are unknown at this point, it would apparently have twice as much memory as a GTX 260 with 1,792MB of RAM and sport 480 stream processors.


Considering the original GTX 260 had 216 stream processors it would appear that Nvidia has managed to squeeze out more stream processors with the die shrink – either that or this is a hybrid design between the GTX 260 and 240-core GTX 280. Final features are yet to be revealed, though from the leaked picture we can also tell the card will have two DVI ports as well as a full-size DisplayPort connector.
