And this is how card looks, not my picture, but i got exactly same card :)

Way too flashy for me. I'd probably pull that sticker off and just leave it with the black cover.

Already faster than GX2 in many cases with prerelease drivers. This card will get better and better.

[CaptNKILL]

Pixmania? or Pixma? I get my stuff from Pixmania but they don't have the card yet...

I think the pixma thing is a Canon printer...

[CaptNKILL]

maybe with this driver once they will come...:

Wow, that'd be nice...

Where did this come from?

[spajdr]

Im getting 177.34 tomorrow so i will report if i see any fps increase at least on Demo of Crysis. If i compared DX9 High setting, it same here as in graph (177.26), but not for Very High, its higher by like 5 fps. I didnt like Crysis so i wont buy game just to test how it runs lol :)

@CaptNKILL

I really dont know, i pick up that pic from a forum (http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showpost.php?p=22891221&postcount=5060). The guy who posted didnt give any further info about. I am going to find out :bleh:

[Zeus666]

WOW this guy W1zzard (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/member.php?u=2422) is a piece of tool.

He states this :

and then this :

finally this :

confirmed .. all crysis results are at 1280x1024. for some reason the loading screen loads in the right resolution and then crysis switches back to 1280x1024 for the benchmark ((


WOW even Copperfield cant achieve that sort of transformation

FFS BENCH CRYSIS AT VERY HIGH YOU STUPID IGNORANT REVIEWRS!! :mad:

the GTX280 is built for performance you idioits! :rant:

/rant

oh & its a shame the only person on this board who's got the 280 , dosent own Crysis ... why this is so ****ed up ?!

[walterman]

There is something in these benchmarks that scares me. The card has 3x times the shading power of the G80, but, it only shows its muscles in few tests. In some tests it only performs a 50% faster. CPU bounded ? or, perhaps, the card is really bandwidth bounded most of the time. :confused:

I dunno what i'll do, but i need to get something to upgrade to 1920x1200.

Lets wait and see what happens next week with all the reviews.

I'm not so sure about that ;)

[SH64]

The only known or confirmed person so far .. ;)

[Zeus666]

old stuff !?

[SH64]

Looks new to me .. hmm Crysis scores are not encouraging (at very high) but atleast they are confirming that AF was disabled.

[Zeus666]

this from vr-zone

We did some power draw tests on the GTX 280 cards in single and SLI mode on a QX9650 + 790i SLI setup. With single GTX 280 card, the system is drawing 147W at idle and 292.2W at peak and the 3DMark Vantage score is P10324. With GTX 280 SLI, the system is drawing 190.1W at idle and 508W at peak. The 3DMark Vantage score is P15813. Stay tuned for our full review in a few days time.

this card definitely can't retail for $650, i'd rather pay $425 for 9800 GX2 :) gimme a break nvidia, can't even play crysis at very high with AA!

[Amaury]

dissapointing numbers so far. this card looks more evolutionary than revolutionary like the 800gtx was. early drivers, lack of software to support the card"s new features is part of it but is the slower memory holding this card back even though it has a 512 bit memory interface and 1 gig of ram.

[Amaury]

or is crysis a badly coded game? then again no game out now including on consoles comes close to the level of graphics this game has on very high settings.

[SH64]

Maybe Nvidia is restraining the memory bandwidth so users will have to always want for more ? .. i.e. not repeat the same mistake with the 8800GTX which had everything ...

Sadly all those scores are considerably overclocked too. Stock core is 602, hes running at 715.

[Uberpwnage]

:thumbdwn: This really sucks, it looks like SLI is still needed for 2560x1600 + AA, and SLI configs will only be viable until Nehalem is released, and then the extra cards just collect dust :(

Bingo !

Bring us that 512bit GDDR5 300 GB/s monster & bye problems ! :drooling:

If this card has 3x times more shading power than the G80, it should have 3x times more bw too to perform always 3x times faster.

[DeusGear]

I think I'm good with my 9800gx2.

[namuk]

i love it how everyone uses cryis as a benchmark .. it was never a good game



it is the new 3dmark of graphics cards

i think that 280 is way faster then my old gt alpha xxx card bye alot
