Your PSU should cope fine so long as its a decent branded one anyway

I would have thought a 850w PSU would be okay. However, your CPU would probably hold back an SLi arrangement.

Excellent, whats the latest i could order for saturday delivery? or has the time passed?

EDIT: as special delivery sometimes arrives saturday, what's the latest that could be a possibility?

EDIT2: another question, if i didn't order today do you reckon you'll still have stock on monday, and would you be getting more stock eventually?

If you call our sales team they should still be able to get one out.

Doubt it, the way its going we should be out of stock by the morning!

YUPPI, JUST ORDERED MYSELF!
i HOPE IT WILL BE BETTER THAN HD4870

 

[DrSteve]

I'm tempted by one of these but would I really see much benefit over a 4870 1gb card?

All of OcUK forums will be running 280s now lol

According to my emails it was 16 minutes between order confirmation and despatch notice, damn you guys are fast!

Exactly one hour for me . I cannot wait till Monday! Should have ordered for Saturday delivery but they kinda failed me before but oh well.

I am hovering over the buy button!

How much longer is this card compared to the 4870?

Finally pressed the 'Confirm Order' button.

Fingers crossed it will fit in my case as the 4870 only just fits. (Will have to move the HD's around I think)

gratz to all getting them, wish i had the money

 

[Phatjayunoi]

The 280GTX's are around 260-270mm, and unlike the 4870, the PCI-E power connectors are on the side so that will save some extra length room.

 

[daz.rathbone]

Can anyone recommend me a decent PSU to get with this (should maybe start a seperate thread)?

Currently on a 400W Antec Smartpower, E2180, HD4670, 4GB, 1HDD. I'm guessing it won't even start this card

Am looking to get a new case/psu/quad next week, but the 280 arrives tomorrow and I can't wait a whole week to try it - may have to source a local PSU. Would a decent brand 550 do the job?

Dont really have the cash but I have the credit lol!

 

[mod1fied]

This is reallllyy tempting, will my Corsair 650W with a quad core run this ok?

Which is londer than an ATX board which is only 244mm.

Good to hear. Was a bit suprised about the 4870 having them on the end.
