Then buy one of these and clock it up, as thats all the 285 is, an overclocked 280.

Yeah the freebies do indeed seem to have ran out. Hopefully they will offer something else instead

what?
Not sure if these freeibies are still available, the site says they're all gone
Ah well, I already had Farcry 2, was just intending to put the 2nd copy up for sale.
10 Year warranty isn't to be ignored though, if nothing else it will help with re-sale in what I hope will be a few years time.
Ha, that's exactly what I thought when I bought my 4870, then my second "these will last a good few years". Why is is that shiny new things do that to us?

Yeah I really hope so, but I have a feeling they'll reserve them for the new cards coming out. 3dmark vantage and FC2 would have been nice.

I've just ordered an Asus GTX 280! I can't wait! Not had a new graphics card for nearly 2 years! :O
Should see a nice improvement over my 8800GTS 320MB

I'm in the same boat, but I'll be gatting more like £230 back. I'm just not sure how much better the 280 is than the 260. Mine was clocked at 670mhz out of the box. Should I get the 280 instead? It's only just over 600mhz :/

A 280GTX is faster than a 260GTX Maxcore anyway.
Thank you
Well cancel the order
Seriously just ring them up, they have been pretty decent about this type of thing before, as long as the card you ordered is one of the reduced ones.
Can't. Seriously. It finally shipped today and is past opening hours. Brb, things to break.
