Meh, I will probably end up getting a 295 towards the end of its life anyway.

If you want to know the best thing, I am currently gaming on a 17" CRT at 1024 x 768. Most intensive game I play is L4D. :D

400fps to 490fps I think.

Currently seeing if anything can be done on the Point of View pricing for anyone who missed the Leadtek, Gainward, Asus, Zotac and BFG offers. Struggling to get the price to where you all want it to be. :(

Looking out for this deal to see how it compares to the GTX295 price before deciding which one to go for.

Thats ok mate I can wait as I still have 2 EVGA GTX260-216s I bought from you last month to play with. EVGA are such a great brand I would never buy another make again which is why I am interested in the 280 price more than usual! Thanks.

Get the 260 Core 216, it's nearly as good but £35 less.

+1 The 280 is not really an upgrade from an overclocked 260 imho having owned both.

p.s. did anyone else's 280 look like it had been opened a couple of times previously?

If it is a BFG card they get opened by BFG Europe for quality check and then sealed again.
 
yeeeeeeeeees! got my hands on one of the POV cards so i can finally say goodbye to my g80 8800. really pleased with this as it should be a beast once overclocked and all for a fiver less than i was going to spend on an xfx 260 black!

hope i'm not celebrating too soon though as i encountered this at my payment screen

i havent had a nvida card for 12 months im well impressed of the quality build

I like the fact the PCB is fully covered and the rubber covers of the SLI connectors.

You feel like you have spent your money well with one of these cards, feels "expensive".
