email to a friendNVIDIA's 55nm GeForce GTX 285 hasn't long been with us, but we're already seeing the green team's partners line up with customised versions of the high-end card.
First up is Palit Microsystems with its custom-cooled GeForce GTX 285. The card, pictured below, is to be available as a standard 1GB model and a beefed up 2GB model, too.
The cooler - seen in similar form on previous Palit cards - retains the dual PWM-controlled fans and ups the heatpipe count to four in order to "provide high performance and trustworthy cooling solution," says Palit.
Despite the seemingly-improved cooling, both the 1GB and 2GB cards will ship with stock frequencies - that's 648MHz for the GPU and 2,484MHz for the GDDR3 memory. Temperatures permitting, there may be some overclocking headroom to play with.
No word on availability or pricing, but we're expecting to see this - and many other customised GeForce GTX 285s - at next week's CeBIT.
Official press release: Palit releases the first and the only custom designed GeForce® GTX285 1GB and 2GB

Just a shame that they've left it a stock-clocks, with that cooler it should very easily get up to the eVGA FTW's clock settings.Quote
Lots of sites in the UK seem to be listing this. At prices comparable to 1GB 285 cards too. They even list it as "In stock". But seeing as none of these sites seem to be mainstream resellers, I'm more than a little suspicious.
So, does anyone have one of these cards and if so, where did you get it from, please?
Many thanks.

Looks very impressive!
Still cant figure out why they dont flip the card round, so that the fans etc are on the top. That way the likes of us with screens can show off the tasty top of the card, as opposed to just a circuit board. Can anyone fill me into why this doesnt happen?
so that they're getting the cooler air from the bottom of the case, away from the CPU, RAM, NB etc.Quote
