The nvidia GTX 295 has now become a single PCB graphics card with the two GPU's on the single PCB. The new configuration eliminated the dedicated HDMI port and brings back th DVI/HDMI adapter. nvidia has done this to save money on production costs as the previous version of the 295 was just breaking even at the price they were selling it at.

I hate to say this, but I used to depend on MaximumPC for technical information and direction. Something has gone very wrong with their publication; both print and electronic (internet) versions. One of the previous comments said that the Best of the Best section isn't up to date. I agree with that and would like to add that it should be easier to navigate to what you want to see.

I ended my dual relationship with PCMagazine and MaximumPC when I cancelled my PC Magazine subsciption. I'm not feeling the strong connection with MaximumPC anymore. Maybe it's a phase, maybe it's because of the economy, maybe they just have the wrong people at the helm now. I hope they fix this soon.

And yes...bring back "The Dog".

Hey Matthewsmith...check out online stores before you buy. $2,300.00! You've got to be kidding. NewEgg has it listed for $449.00 and in stock. Just think of all the other cool things you could have added...like water cooling.
