PNY GTX-285 Performance Edition (+ SLI 285 Testing)

INTRODUCTION

PNY has been in the GPU market for a very long time. They are more well known for their memory products than their GPU's. The addition of the PNY GTX-285 Performance Edition to their lineup brings them right to the cutting edge of graphics. PNY has been out of the Bjorn3D limelight for a period of time, but they've always been there, producing high quality graphics cards, flash products, and performance memory.

We thought it would be a nice addition to the GPU comparison stack to give the PNY GTX-285 Performance Edition a chance to live up to our high standards and see how it runs against "The Stack". We're betting that the PNY GTX-285 Performance Edition makes the grade and runs like a champion in SLI.
