Inno3D launches GTX 295 Platinum Edition

Typically a few months after a new video card is released, OEM partners will begin offering cards that stray from the reference design. Inno3D has followed this trend, first with the standard GTX 295 and then with an overclocked version. Today Inno3D announced its latest version, the GeForce GTX 295 Platinum Edition that comes with an advanced cooling solution.

The card itself doesn't stray from the reference design with 480 processor cores, 576/1242/200MHz GPU/processor/memory clock speeds and 1792MB frame buffer found on the standard GTX 295 model. The difference comes with the addition of an advanced Platinum cooler that permits air to circulate through both the front and the back of the chassis for enhanced cooling performance. Inno3D hasn't released any further details on the cooler but judging from the pictures, the nine-blade fan stretches the full height of the board and should be able move a fair amount of air, part of which is exhausted out the back of the case with the remainder exiting out the other end of the card.

The card is posted on the Inno3D web site but no information on pricing was made available.
