I bought this card so I could use the Mercury Engine in CS5 Premier Pro which gives real time processing for many effects and transitions. CS5PP recognized the card and provided the necessary hardware acceleration I was looking for, but at a slight price of lower performance then my rather lowly ATI 3870 card in terms of Open GL performance, which most of my other graphics apps use. Hopefully nVidia will improve their Mac drivers to correct the situation, as the card should have smoked my ATI. It also has Open CL capability but few applications are set up to use this new standard, so again, it;s a matter software and driver implementation to make this card perform like it does on the Windows side. While disappointed on the Open GL side, I love how it works with it's CUDA parallel processing in CS5PP. This card works great and I've not seen one glitch of any kind, which compares favorably to my ATI card it replaced, a card which didn't have CUDA or Open CL. Overall I feel it was a good investment since the new nVidia card was costing 4X times more at the time, but has dropped in price to 2X what I paid. So for some maybe waiting for the Q4000 is a better deal. I have read however, that the clock speeds on the GTX 285 are much higher and give better over-all performance on apps that are not written to take advantage of the Quadro 4000 architecture.Read full review
Love this card, Its powerfull and now the new FEMI cards are out this card is now affordable for the power it has. Best thing is this card uses 2 6pin power connectors unlike other cards that have a 6 and a 8 pin. Scores very well in win 7. Totally Buying a 2nd one to run sli! Also this works out of the box for a hackntosh system.
If you're a Linux user, nVidia cards are a must! At the same time, if you dual-boot with Windows you don't want to skimp on graphic power for games and what not. With PhysX, games will look better, and with CUDA, transcoding/decoding/encoding will be more than twice as fast as normal computing. GPU computing is the way of the future, and EVGA's GTX 285 1GB card is one step leading to it!
Not bad for the price, just needed something to run a few older games but would perform well.
