    Very sneaky. That's a three day listing, and I bet you that the owner found out about this a little earlier before listing it...

    I didn't even know they existed.   

    I think if I did have one I would hang on to it and display it like I plan to do with my 7950GX2

    Hey all :)

    Well I used to have four of those and I don't have them anymore due to change of interest, I sold them to a good friend a few months ago really, I just needed to do something else.
    Things have not been going to well on my end health wise, left alone mentally, but thankfully  collecting model Boeing 747's and meeting some great B747 Fans pilots builders maintenance employee's and others that designed certain elements of the B747.
    Well that is how I kind of found my new place to be, running the Boeing 747 Community & Aircraft Model Collecting Community at Facebook that has kind of kept me away from other things, all that hence my long absence.
    Health & mentally wise  I have had some low points in life as well, I just needed change and it took some time to find it.

    But I am very grateful for you all to think of me, it means a lot.


    Here an archive I have saved of the best drivers for 9800 GX2 & GTX 295 Quad SLI setups:
     
    Forceware 197.45 WHQL
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista_64bit_197.45_whql.html
     
    Forceware 285.62 WHQL
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-285.62-whql-driver.html
     
    Forceware 306.97 WHQL This adds FXAA support for GTX 295, very handy and very stable.
    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/49949/en-us
     
    Forceware 331.82 WHQL, Most Stable Latest Driver.
    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/70184/en-us

    Atm I collect Scale 1:200 diecast model  Boeing 747's which some of you have seen here:
    https://forums.evga.com/Here-my-Entire-Model-Aircraft-Collection-and-what-follows-m2745418-p3.aspx#2898124

    And I been running my own Boeing 747 Community at Facebook for some time and that is where I hang around most really.
    But as GTX 295 RE users go, not many out there to be honest  about 24 cards probably are in working order of the 500 made, most were used for crunching numbers and this really put many out of working order within 3  to 4 years.
    Here my old thread of all the EVGA GTX 295 Red Editions owners of the world:
    https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/1773275

    24 cards isn't much of the 500 made right...
    And to be honest I have no idea if all their cards are functional to this very day either.

    But for this thread I do have the photo's of my red beauties:



     

     
     
    ForceWare R331.82 WHQL was the last best driver for stable  Quad SLI Function with two 9800 GX2's & GTX 295's:

     
    Here the Quad SLI settings panel

     
    Here all the FSAA Modes possible with GTX 295 Quad SLI; 9800 GX2 QUAD SLI went to SLI 32xQ CSAA

     
    Ran BarsWF CUDA x64 With R331.82 WHQL, still got a neat 3.25 as total system score and 2.8K on the GTX 295 RE's stand alone, SLI Disabled btw:

     
     Here my main system back then which was named Blue-Leader SMP 2009 with it's two EVGA GTX 295 Red Editions in Quad SLI:

     
    Here a close up of the two GTX 295 RE's:

     
    And here the system at night, took this without the flasher and I am glad it worked out quite well!


    Yeah them good old d days huh.
    oh yeah the first two were part of my GX2 Collection, how could I forget that:







     
    Here a guide I made and self wrote on how to maintain your EVGA GTX 295 Red Edition  also counted for those with Dual PCB GTX 295 cards:
    https://forums.evga.com/Goldies-EVGA-GeForce-GTX-295-Red-Edition-Maintenance-Days-m1613434.aspx





    But hey all in all I am here to help any of you seeking support with these rare cards, they function like any other GTX 295, so that is an upside, but finding them to add to your collections, ouch not going to be easy.
    Yet I am willing to look around for you guys it's the least I can do, but so far nothing is really out these, these are cards from Q3 2009 as well so yeah  not easy to find either.
    I am just deeply sorry for not being around much, the Queen of the Skies has kept me busy a lot and good too I think at times, I also left x-3dfx due to personal reasons.

    But what I can do is spread this around at my other hardware communities the GTX 295 RE owners won't ever do this since the value of  a 295 RE  can  easily surpass 3 to 4 of those 2080 Ti's..
    That is if coming from a collectors view point and such ultra rare cards are just hard to lose, left alone replacing them, just forget it.

    Yet a 2080 Ti FTW3 isn't rare like these are, so do keep that in mind as well, even if there were 1000 of those 2080 Ti things, that is twice the amount of 295 RE's made and left alone about 24 of the 295 RE's exist in functioning order since I made that post which was a few years ago as well, this  deal EVGA is offering has practically no sense then hehe.

    Within many years from now, let's say 10 years or so? an EVGA RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra will be cheap, but an EVGA GTX 295 Red Edition..  I don't think I'd even want to know

    Anything for an old friend
    Sorry about the cards tho, for not having them anymore, the change was needed, but  not to worry got all my photo's and if anyone needs help please DM me or so, the knowledge never left me thankfully!
    But for now the Queen of the Skies is it all for me now
    That being the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet, just like Quad SLI --> The Power of 4!
