ByeBye GTX280, Hello 8800GTX

**nekrosoft13** · 07-14-08, 05:05 PM

just got back from the store, GTX280 has been returned, got full refund of $650+tax. Everyone that bought the card for full price should return it. Soon the card will be most likelly at $400 dollars.

Is there a reason as to why you returned it? Driver issues? Overheating? 3d detection issues?

Or was it simply the price?

They let you return it?

What did you tell them?

Didn't they buy CompUSA?

Huh. I wonder how long it would take Bigman to run the TigerDirect loop.

Anyway, good job getting your $650 back. Now you can get an R700!

Not before CompUSA closed most of its stores. IIRC, Tiger just purchased the name rights.

i might, need to see more reports, benchmarks, so far only few games have been benchmarked. plus idle temps are insane.

or i still might get GTX 280, would be hard to say goodbye to nHancer
