GTX295 Performance

Does anyone know of the plans on nVidia's part to really push the GTX295's performance hard with drivers? Right now I doubt it is living up to its full potential.

should have got a 5870 its cheaper to buy and it uses less power, its just as fast and you dont have any SLI problems with some games

They wouldn't do that, at least not in any significant amount... That kind of action is asking for some serious class action lawsuits.

Fyi, there are $100 nVidia cards that suck right now too, the problem isn't that the card was more expensive than it should have been, the problem is you didn't do your research. Both camps have always had their crappy cards sell for 3-4x their worth, just for the uninformed people to purchase.

I'd bet if you looked hard enough you could find a 9600gt for over $200.

you're saying it's pretty normal to purposely over price a card but it's absolutely impossible that the card you already have won't perposely be underperformed so that nVidia can ensure that it's customers will buy their cards every few years.

-it's probably a good thing that hmm nVidia dosn't directly sell their cards. My cards are EVGA, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

Action Packaged, Inc. phails...

You can get one on Newegg or Microcenter for about $80

this and that

eh dosn't really mater, my GTX 295 is performing like a pice of slimy kiwi juice along with my 9800GT it just wasn't before I think I had something on my system that was making it hang, reason being I reinstalled the OS and took it seriously this time by downloading the service packs seperetly then before any update was automaticly installed I installed both service packs, this computer has never been so reliable and stable and fast.
