I am looking to avoid heat issue in a room... Appearing they retreat EVGA GTX 295 Backplate. Placing Co-op and FTW editions everywhere. Appearing I heard co-op and ftw using the newest revisit cards. Which of the solution is better?

Um, maybe English is not your first language - could you get someone to translate that for us?

Nope... Looks I make this simplier....

Want have room with no room heat issue.

Which one is better?

-Evga GTX295 Backplate
-Evga GTX295 Co-op(Revisit)

Though one thing backplate one are not selling at my home, as neither newegg.

Co-op version cannot use backplate which it use to absorb heat.

Note backplate is now unknown to order...

If both cards have the same GPU, they will dissipate the same amount of heat. The only difference between them is the method used to take the heat from the card and put it in your room - the amount of heat stays the same.

But in this actual case, the Backplate edition runs at higher clock speeds, so it will generate a bit more heat (in theory) than the Co-op/FTW editions. I think that the overall difference in heat in the room would not be noticeable.

Edit: looking at the Evga site, they don't seem to list the Backplate edition of the 295 anymore.

Edit again: After more research, it seems that the "Backplate" was something you could add to the card to help with the cooling (although some units come with it installed). At any rate, this helps take the heat away from the card and dissipate it into the room. It's still the same amount of heat, however, so room temperature should be the same. (The heat doesn't just vanish

)

If i were you i'd wait a month and check the new chips that should be released by then.

Mwa? According to the review 295 series though pull more watts, using 2 card at one pulling same grade cooling almost same effect as single card solutions... Now I just don't get... two different card is better than 2 at one card? =/

Ok, I decided to pick XFX GTX295(revisit). Since the card from VGA are overpriced and has same format speed as XFX.
