Talking GeForce GTX 280!

Would love to hear some opinions on these cards and their specs from you all...leaving out the price gripe. I wouldn't buy one until they come down but check out the specs!

EVGA | EVGA GTX 280 and 260

Toms's opinion...

Nvidia GeForce GTX 260/280 Review : Introduction - Tom's Hardware

From my read they are a bit loud, but compete well with the GX2 and are better than the 9800 GTX and 8800 ULtra's...



NEW BUILD thanks to HL:

Asus Maximus Formula x38
E8400 3.0 GHz
EVGA 8800 GTS (G92) 512 mb KO 678 GHz
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500 gb
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 250 gb
4GB OCZ Reaper HPC DDR2
Corsair 650 TX
Cooler Master RC 690

Still around the same. 9800GX2 beats a GTX280 SLi both in price and perf.

LOL!
Well... apparently around $400'ish.

Right now, my thoughts are on the HD4850.... Mmmmmm, it's supposed to beat the 9800GTX, and only at $200, I think it's gonna be a winner.
