4850 comes out June 25. The 4870 was pushed back to July 8, as was the 4870x2.

I've said I'm not getting a 280 but I just got a nice bonus at work and so I'm testing the waters. The only problem is I game on a 720p HDTV at 1366x768. With a single 8800GTX I can comfortably play at 1366x768 0xAA, VH, DX10. That's not exactly a stressful resolution for something like the 280 but I was wondering how much AA I could expect to apply. Additionally, I've also been thinking of getting a new 1080p TV so I'd like to know what I could expect at around 1080p in VH, DX10 with no AA.

Crysis 1920x1200, Single Card, VH settings
20.67FPS

Crysis 1280x1024, Single Card, VH settings + 4xAA
25.29FPS

Also some more pics

So your PSU had enough 8-pins for that?

Was about to ask about that. My PSU has only 2x8 pin PCI-E connectors. Does the Thermaltake have 3. If so very nice.
I have heard a rumour the Cards come with an 8pin connector. Can you please confirm.

Unfortunately the cards don't arrive down here until Friday. Very late getting here this year.

Only one problem Jakup, you need to clean up that fingerprint off that third pic.

[quote=jAkUp;1682745]Here it is, the EVGA GTX 280. And yes, it is fast, and in some cases a single GTX 280 is faster than Quad SLI.

When you turn on your computer, do the lights go out on your block?

holy mother of silicon. That is one sick setup!!!!! My next job will be in working for an OEM.

Am I the only one who is disturbed by this??? What happened to 36.8 FPS @ 1920 x 1200 Very High??? I really hope the shoddy fps in Crysis is a driver issue because that's what is keeping me from seriously considering one.

You mean card right, not cards? I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
