GTX 280 apparently stinks.

"The 260 will be priced at $449 and go up against the ATI 770/4870 costing MUCH less. The 280 will be about 25 per cent faster and quite likely lose badly to the R700, very badly, but cost more, $600+."

looks like my price estimate of 360-420 is going to be pretty accurate, and if this news is true i am skipping these and avoid them like the plague.

ATI ftw? who knows

Already posted in the massive thread we already have. Along with this, which is pretty much a direct contradiction:

Just wait until June 17th when the newest series of GeForce GPU's launch, and you'll start asking yourself when you last witnessed such a dramatic technology improvement. If you thought the GeForce 8 series blew the 7-series out of the water, this is going to leave you in shock. That's not my own marketing spin... Benchmark Reviews is presently testing the new GeForce video card.

So, it's up to you to decide who to believe. A German hardware review site with an actual review-board, or an inquirer article in which they also complain about not being invited to a nvidia shindig.


Anyway, lets keep all this stuff in one place, shall we?
