» MSI N285GTX GeForce GTX 285 SuperPipe OC Review

With its massive 5-heatpipe cooler, MSI's N285GTX SuperPipe OC addresses the GTX 285's biggest flaw: its cooling in comparison to GTX 280. The card is also OC'ed slightly for greater performance. See how it compares to the stock GTX 285 and four other GPUs in today's review!

» Uhh, this is capitalism and a republic
It's so funny, everyone loves to claim perfect price for their percieved performance cone they have everyone in. Does this happen in cases, colored cabling, operating systems, internet connections speed - or any other enthusiast purchase area, or consumer area, like automobiles for instance ?
NO, everyone buys what they want, half of it for showing off, a lot of it for comfort, peace of mind, laziness...on and on...
Only online in computer enthusiast areas do we have a CONSTANT little jealous mr tip of the century complaints crew, as if their great wisdom should be followed by the dummy noob that actually works for a living showing up to buy the gtx285.
Well, it's just the opposite actually, the dumber they are, the more power they need, the more garbage that inhabits their system...your great and sage advice means NOTHING to someone who easily affords it.
It all sounds nice and pretty to give out all the mr shrinking prune advice, just like SOME review sites to, blabbering on, parsing every 3 frames and five or ten bucks, but the fact is - near EVERYTHING is overbought in todays modern societies, and videocards should not be an exception, period!
If you cannot afford the darn things, keep whining and giving downward advice, but the truth is you just can't buy it, mommies allowance isn't in yet, or that bag of dope looks better, or you're just plain goofy - since requirements for computer gaming power CONSTANTLY RISE, and within 6 months or a year or two, the card being poo-pooed will be desperately needed, and it nearly is already.
The little jealous two bit today only know it all visionless, futureless, non paid, incorrect, pushy, opinionated, short sighted, broke without a dime to spare, internet consultant. Amazing.
Everything in the west is a luxury, especially computer gaming, a hobby, and everyone knows noone wants the Corvette, or the Lambourghini, right ?
lol - It's so pathetic, I'm so sick of hearing it. It's barely a week and a half of MINIMUM WAGE. It's burger flipping price for pete sakes.

If one can afford a Ferrari and someone else can't then kindly shut the fuck up when they point out that it is unnecessary and enjoy your ride you big baby!

When someone who can afford a Ferrari points out that they are unnecessary and engages in an informed discussion about why this is the case then, once again, but kindly, shut the fuck up you big baby!

IMO 30" monitor, physix and/or 3D are the only reasons to buy cards like this today. Otherwise, most users get all their CPUs can handle with less powerful cards.

Probably gonna get sacked, but why bother with GTX285 or GTX280. Even after rebates, at $330 they provide poor value compared to HD4890 and GTX 275 hovering around $240, which in turn are significantly faster but dont have the bang of 4870 and GTX260 around $170.

Incidentally, anyone recall March 2006 7900GT launch. Only $300 gets you a whopping ATI X1800XL (not even X1900 which start at $350) or a 7900GT. Today, $170 gets you GTX260.. same (almost) GPU as high end.
