NVIDIA'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
