Nvidia has proudly announced that its 55nm GeForce GTX 285 cards are now officially available in the states at retailers and e-tailers nationwide.  Newegg, the largest e-tailer of them all, currently lists three models from EVGA and single models from BFG, XFX, Zotac, and ASUS for a total of 7 offerings to choose from.

Currently, the prices range from $379.99 for the XFX standard clocked 648MHz card to $429.99 for EVGA's SSC 702MHz card.  All in all, these prices seem to reflect those of the 65nm GTX 280 just last week before a significant price drop took place.

As far as overclocking capabilities are concerned, several manufacturers have told us over the past few weeks that the cards are expected to reach around 750MHz core speeds on standard cooling.  For those further interested, the GPU is an Nvidia G200-350-B3 chip that operates at 1.15 volts.
