Obviously the GTX 285 AMP! is an incredibly capable card and from considering the results is probably the fastest single cored gaming card on the planet. It comes with a staggeringly complete bundle, runs cool and overclocks well.

Understandably for performance like this there is a cost - at around £310 it represents a significant outlay. In fact the cost is close to two cards similar in performance to the 260's i used in this review. Of course there are additional hidden costs to dual GPU solutions. You'd need a better PSU, a motherboard that can accept dual (or triple) cards, a case large enough to adequately house and cool them and an understanding that you'd be using extra electricity for that additional card.

As such i'll conclude with this - although not the greatest deal in terms of value, if you want the fastest 'single cored' card out there right now and don't want the headache and hidden additional costs of multi GPU Crossfire/SLi installation then the Zotac GTX 285 AMP! Edition would be a very fine choice.



Vortez Hardware would like to thank Zotac for providing us with the GTX 285 AMP! Edition.
