EVGA unveils the GeForce GTX 275 CO-OP PhysX Edition
As expected, EVGA has now announced a new dual GPU card that provides both graphics and physics but with a twist. Officially known as the GeForce GTX 275 CO-OP PhysX Edition, the product features a 55nm GT200b GPU backed by 896MB of GDDR3 memory to handle graphics, and a 55nm G92b chip paired up with 384MB for physics calculations.
EVGA's quite interesting but not really game-changing approach basically combines a GeForce GTX 275 (240 Processing Cores, 633/1296/2268 MHz GPU/shader/memory) and a GeForce GTS 250 (128 PCs, 738/1836/2200 MHz), the latter only being used when in-game PhysX processing is required. This hybrid of oldies (oldie GPUs that is) has DirectX 10.0 and SLI support, a dual-slot, single-fan cooling solution borrowed from the single-PCB GTX 295, dual DVI outputs, and is bundled with a coupon for the free download of Batman: Arkham Asylum, an action game that has GPU PhysX support.
Currently up for pre-order, the EVGA GeForce GTX 275 CO-OP PhysX Edition is priced at $349.99. Yeah, we don't know what they were thinking either. Where's Fermi?
