GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 260 launch!

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 11:12:57 Mon, June 16, 2008

Today is day that Nvidia loyalists have been waiting for. I will spend as much time as I can bringing you guys all the specifications and reviews that you expect. To kick things off, here is Nvidia's GTX 280 page and their GTX 260 page.

I was just adding some cards and I noticed three things about Evga. Thing 1. they are no longer using their e-GeForce name on their cards. Thins 2, they have a FTW (For the Win) edition now, which is apparently the highest clocked model now instead of SSC. Thing 3, they made 5 models of GTX 280 for us, including a watercooled model. Sweet!

Oh man the [H]ardocp review when they do the apples to apples comparison is the greatest. It really shows how powerful it really is. Too bad the price tag is pretty high. I mean $650 is kinda a lot.

I for one , am disappointed... aside from playing games at massive resolutions and massive amounts of AA , these cards have no real use... and the GX2 is close enough to not justify the 650 USD pricetag on these things .

Wow! More powers! I would like to own 2 (duh). But I can't justify it. $1400 is a lot of money. Oh, and I'd need a way bigger PSU. Anyway, keep em coming nVidia! We can dream now, and in 6 months when they drop in price we can own and pwn.

Yeah It just kinda applies to me cause I like to have the high res and use AA. The Gx2 is good as a single card but I think 2 of these would probably scale much better rather then 2 9800GX2 being as there is the 4 GPU's and I think thats where it really matters.

Terrible performance/$, but great total performance.
