ASUS ENGTX285 TOP 1GB
55nm GT200: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 1GB Review - Graphics Cards 50

ASUS also sent over a new GeForce GTX 285 card featuring its overclocked TOP designation.

The card obviously looks the same and has the same features as the reference boards and the BFG card shown on the previous page.  The ASUS card is also overclocked:
  • Core: 670 MHz vs 648 MHz stock
  • Shader: 1550 MHz vs 1476 MHz stock
  • Memory: 1300 MHz vs 1242 MHz stock
These frequency increases aren’t as high as the BFG model we saw before but any free speed is good speed in our eyes.  We’ll see how well the benchmarks show the BFG card’s advantages.

As I said, the ASUS card has the same feature set as the BFG model – the extras are also nearly the same though ASUS does include a leather-ish mouse pad that is rather small.
