Official "I just got my GeForce GTX 260 or 280" thread

[Mr_LoL]

One thing I like about the 260 is I don't need a new power supply. 6 pins ftw.

[Koko56]

WOW ChrisRay... :headexplode:

...nice.

[Darkoz]

Any Ozi's find any places, link location too and price. I want to get one ASAP...my rig has been upgraded with everything apart the GPU -.-...

AusPC Market have some in stock ranging from $869 to $899 includes delivery.....

Yes its a rosewill. Its not as good as a zalman but its more than enough for a Phenom.

What PSU are you using, if you don't mind me asking.

[spajdr]

Think i hit 18000+ mark soon :)

:cool:

Can anyone tell me which program to use to overclock them? :) Can't get Rivatuner to work.

[slaWter]

Nice upgrade there DHP! :D

But that cover and sticker design is... well ;)

Rivatuner should work for OCing the cards.

[DHP]

Nice upgrade there DHP! :D



Rivatuner should work for OCing the cards.It doesn't. :(

Well.. i'll look at that later. I'm gonna game!!! I had a 6200TC for 3 weeks, so. Seeya. :D

[pingu2]

just got mine installed (BFG OC) - no hassle so far!

runs very quiet at vista desktop - better than 8800gtx (or maybe its the new power supply)

I saw someone with a screenshot of EVGA precision running - but when precision starts now it tells me no recognised hardware.. any ideas?

camera batteries flat :(

Dual Core E8400 @ 4GHz benches. Cards stock. I think these cards are bottlenecked like hell @ low reso's.

But I dont care. I play @ 1920x1200 + AA/AF.

[pingu2]

nm my question - i see that evga havent realised the new version of precision on the web yet:

[DHP]

Heres a better picture of the 280 SLI setup and the Phenom Rig. I have had great difficulty getting good lighting on this case.


So like how many watts of heat is this crazy thing putting out when gaming? :nuts:

I am using an ESA Toppower 1.1 Kilowatt PSU with 6 12v+ @ 20A. Max 960 Watts. Uses the same amount of power as my 8800GTX 3 Way SLI did, GTX 280 does use more in 3 way obviously

[PeterJensen]

ITS IN THE RIG NOW!!!

The XFX cards come with a nice little door sign - to hang on you door that says "GAMING DND" :D

[Blacklash]

Grats to those that have 'em installed. Hopefully, mine will be here tomorrow.
