Nice clocks, but I wouldn't trust that card :headexplode::firedevil

Noticed that too.... That said, it seems quite a lot of manufacturers are only offering 1yr, including ASUS. EVGA & BFG seem to offer the best.


Edit:- Site made mistake.... 2yrs Warranty.

This card is smoking fast. Bloody hell. This pisses all over EVGA's overpriced FTW card.

Yea, the shader clock is what makes this so unique. I haven't seen anyone with a shader thath high. Mem and Core can be done by most 280s, but not 1666 on the shader.

They have to use a custom cooler or something like that..otherwise RMA every 3-4 months -.-....

Its leadtek..so chances are this card might be available in AUS too..

I would say so. We get lots of Leadtek stuff in NZ and most of that comes from Aussie.

That's very close to max possible on the chip on air. My 280 did 742|2600 1547 unlinked. 1666 shader is crazy for this card. I haven't heard of many air cooling people getting above 750. It is possible water cooling could change that.

Wow those are some high clocks. I can't see how that's possible (shader), unless they've done some volt modding to the BIOS. I'd be very sceptical, although Leaktek are usually very good.

Anyone who buys a GTX 280 this shortly after launch will almost no way have this card for 2 years though.

That's true, but no-one wants a card that'll be unreliable. I'm not a fan of pre-OC'd cards. The only reason I got these is it's all that was available at the time. If you're gonna manually OC the cards anyway, it's a waste of money.

This is something worth paying the premium for imo. Very good overclocks which is better than EVGA'S overpriced tat.Don't care about the 2 year warranty as I would not plan on having the card 2 years anyway

So you are getting one ????
Think i will hold fire on my Gts for now.... only thing it cannot do is crysis.... and i have not even got that yet.
However, when Mafia 2 hits.... hmmmm

I saw this too on overclockers, couldnt believe the clocks for the prce compared to EVGA SSC well overpriced.

Recently the prices of all 280 in the uk esp at overclockers has come down, no way i was gonna pay 500GBP+ for that card.

I was seriously considering the Leadtek Extreme 280 then relised too good to be true, could be a mis print, im not too sure with that company how reliable the card will be.

I them thought EVGA SSC 280, too overpriced and since i have a BFG OC2 8800GTX (excellent card) i might as well wait for the BFG OC2 280 or 4870X2 by Sapphire, i need some thing for gaming at 1920*1080 1080p.

Nice clocks on that card it will fly for the most part at 1920x1200.
