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.
