UPDATE: Please report or discuss heat related issues with the GeForce GTX 280 in this thread. (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=114925)

Correct. Plus run a couple of tests of Crysis, at DX10, Very High, with and without AA. At reasonably high resolutions if possible, 1600+.

So many "benchmarks" from sites, not a single one for Crysis that people actually care about, in Very High...

[K007]

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 -.-...

[Lfctony]

Europeans, if they would post any sites that sends stuff to other countries, not just locally...

Much appreciated,
Tony.

I do not see anything yet. Geizhals.at isn't listing them.

[H]OCP says not playable in 1600x1200 in very high, no AA in their review. :(

Seems the reviewer rules are keeping most site from mentioning this.

Found an Asus 280 and a POV 280 in Greece and they cost 520€ and 550€ respectively.Only a few POV in stock.

[slaWter]

ASUS is the only one in stock here but I stick with the Gainward, the ASUS design is ugly :p

[DHP]

What's up with the Zalman in the 2nd pic?

[ChrisRay]

Thats not a zalman.

[PeterJensen]

Thats not a zalman.

Nice to see you posting btw ;)

[Bman212121]

Thats not a zalman.

Yea, after a second take it doesn't have the same center groove. I think Zalman needs to sue for copyright infringement though. :p

[Zapablast05]

Thats not a zalman.

Roswill RCX-Z5 Ultra?

Btw, those rigs look badass with all those cards. That's like more than 2k of equipment with the video cards alone!

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

[xmichaeluk]

That rig looks phenomenal :D

[PeterJensen]

Look in teh SIG :p

Pics of unboxing SOON!

[crainger]

wtf 999?!...jesus thats premium -.-

::(:

I was hoping for more 9 series pricing. Wishful thinking. I'm going to wait till a 9600GT or 8800GT style card I think.

[Blacklash]

I'm finally retiring my 8800GTX. Been using it since 11|2006. Ordered a GTX 280 with a standard return policy on 2 day from Newegg.
