EVGA GTX 295 1792MB GDDR3 Video Card Review

Need 4 Speed Undercover


Benchmarking NFS: Undercover proved to be an interesting process but we finally decided on the Ocean and Wilson Circuit race for a worst case scenario benchmark run. The benchmark run involves running 4 laps of the circuit at the hardest difficulty setting with 7 other racers and a high traffic volume. The total amount of time usually ranged between 3:30 and 3:40 of gameplay time recorded in FRAPS.

1680 x 1050





1920 x 1200





2560 x 1600




These may be the oddest results we have ever received in a review. The performance of the GTX 295 actually INCREASES as the resolution goes up to the point where it goes from dead last at lower resolution to kicking ass at higher res. Heck, even the framerate at 2560 x 1600 is higher than at 1680 x 1050. Nvidia has confirmed these findings so it looks like they are repeatable but man, if that doesn’t look odd I don’t know what does.
