GTX280

[Recursion]

Hello,

Mum agreed to buy me a GTX280 for Christmas and she said I could order it in October :O But I was wondering, would it be a smart move to buy one? Are any new ones coming out?

I have £300 to spend (adding my own money too it too, pfft!) :P

There will be a revised version of the GTX280 sometime between now and Christmas. Probably a core shrink

i want the GTX280 for my next computer.. i want this one

But.. its best for liquid cooling. its the best 280 out atm

APPARENTLY the 260s are better value for money

Goddamnit don't buy a GTX280, if you want real performance get a 4870x2.

Im looking at a 4870x2 because then I could save to buy a second for Crossfire... But I heard ATIs drivers are total pants.

I've never had a problem with their drivers.

I quite like the PhysX stuff of Nvidia too though

[Stephen!]

ATI have Havok which is a much more powerful physics engine.

[Recursion]

So you reckon the 4870x2 is the way to go?

[Stephen!]

I believe so.

It's what I would do anyway

Okay sexy boy, we'll go halves, I get one GPU, you get the other.
