Why It Mattered

GeForce GTX 285 belongs to the Tesla 2.0 and GeForce 200 Series era around 2008, when PC graphics cards varied heavily by bus, memory chips, BIOS, cooler, and display outputs. Tracking the exact model helps retro builders distinguish period-correct boards from similarly named variants.
