Gainward preparing a new GTX 285 as well
Geforce GTX 285 Cao Cao Edition
According to a post over at Expreview.com, Gainward is also preparing a new custom cooled GTX 285 graphics card, the Geforce GTX 285 Cao Cao Edition.
The card is apparently named after Chinese warlord Cáo Cāo who was the penultimate chancellor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, at least according to Wikipedia. Despite the fact that we kinda like this name, as warlord names sound like a good marketing move, we doubt that this one will have the same name in Europe, as we suspect that it might sell a bit better under the Goes like Hell brand.
According to the info at Expreview.com, this card works at 648MHz for the core, 1,476MHz for 240 stream processors and 2,484MHz for 1GB of GDDR3 memory. It will use the same dual slot, dual fan cooler with four heatpipes that could be seen on Palit's cards yesterday.
According to the same source, this card should retail at around US $440. You can find more pictures here.
