Do people think I would notice a difference going from a 260-216 ssc to this? I don't know much about them but the specs don't seem much better? I have less than 1 day to decide.

not worth it unless you can cover the cost by selling the other card... what games do you play and at what res?

I think maybe OcUK have been playing with crayons this time.
Possible as a homage to Nvidia's skill with which they crayon every card they release until it almost looks like a different card!

Hmm was very tempted to get a 4850 but now am getting even more tempted.

But, mustn't not pay mortgage to get new PC toys

Awesome price, I'd buy one if I had an SLI mobo tbh.. Hmmm I've been thinking of i7... No! Must resist........

They are some rather impressive clocks you have :eek:

What sort of temps you getting?

Reality|Bites · 5 Jan 2009 at 19:57

I want one but i haven't played any games for about two weeks now so maybe not.

EdGey · 5 Jan 2009 at 20:11

why is my luck so bad.

less than a week after i splash out over 210 quid on a GTX-260... the GTX-280 becomes available from the same shop for 20 quid more.

give me a F'ing break.

Does the 280GTX do sound over HDMI?

as if it does i would have one to replace my ATI 3870HD

no sorry, I don't think it even has an hdmi...

kingy666 · 5 Jan 2009 at 20:17

My 3870 doesnt have HDMI but has 2 DVI outputs but it comes with an adaptor DVI > HDMI and it also outputs sound to my plasma tv

Thanks

You never know with the bay, sometimes you get people who are prepared to pay £100, but most likely you'll get around £50

kingy666 · 5 Jan 2009 at 20:22

Looks like i will be waiting for price drops on the ATI 4870 1GB (hopefully soon after the 285/295's are released)

a standard palit one sold for 87 + 8 3rd Jan
an xfx alpha dog one sold for 74 + 5 24th dec.

Is all i can find so around the 80 mark would be a safe bet.

VortexA1 · 5 Jan 2009 at 20:26

I only bought my BFG 260-216 a few weeks ago at max for £250.

Is the BFG warranty transferable ??? :confused:

If it is I can sell it on fleabay for a good price...if not I'll keep it.

Please post in the Customer Service forum and we will be more than happy to see what we can do for you.

is there a slight chance that this could apply to me aswell?

i mean its pushing it... but id like to return my GTX260-216 that i got less than a week ago and buy a GTX-280 for 20 quid more.

jrodga2k5 · 5 Jan 2009 at 20:35

Why do I find myself all of a sudden tempted to buy when I know my 9800GTX is perfectly fine for me at the moment..... :rolleyes:
