From Nvidia's side of the fence, the GeForce GTX 280 is the obvious competition and while the GTX 285 is faster, you have to ask if it's worth the additional outlay over the few GTX 280s that are still available. Obviously, we've tested the standard clocked version here, but there's an XFX GeForce GTX 280 clocked at 640MHz core - not that much lower than the GTX 285's reference clock - on sale at Scan for 275 GBP including VAT which makes us wonder whether it's worth spending the extra 20 GBP or so on a 285. Of course, there are power consumption benefits to the 285, but they're small. The other thing we haven't covered is overclocking, but based on our brief experience with overclocking, the 55nm cores seem to clock a little better - the XFX GeForce GTX 280 XT is likely to be close to its clock speed limit out of the factory. For someone upgrading from an existing GTX 200 series graphics card, there's no point in looking at the 285 - the performance increase just isn't there and there are similarities between this launch and the GeForce 8800 Ultra's launch. This time though, there isn't a frankly huge price premium for the new model. With that in mind, if you're upgrading from a GeForce 8-series card, it might be worthwhile considering over the older GeForce GTX 280, but if you wanted a real performance boost, you'll need to look at the GeForce GTX 295 or Radeon HD 4870 X2. That puts us in two minds about the GTX 285 - while it does nothing wrong on principle, it doesn't do a lot to convince us that it wants to be a part of your next build. Simply put, if you want the fastest single GPU graphics card in your next build, the GeForce GTX 285 is it - there are, however, better value and faster graphics cards out there, which means the GeForce GTX 285's position in the market is a little awkward.
