looks quite solid to me, just need to be available and reviewed now :D
any experts able to comment on the mounting holes, AC S1 or HR-03 (GT/Rev A) compatible?
how did it get to 512MB ?
well this just made my video card purchase very easy..
280GTX 1GB ordered!
that stock cooler looks extremly sexy...
too bad it will have to leave the card one its out of the box:p:
I woudnt worry too much, aslong as the fancontroller is good it wont be too loud.Quote:
DC12V 1A:eek:
Sounds to me like you're looking for an excuse not to buy this one :rolleyes:Quote:

Besides, that extra 512Mb gonna cost ya some penny, 200$ of pennies that is.
you cant compare gddr3 with gddr5. Theres absolutly no problem getting 1gb of ddr3 but with the limited capacity of gddr5 i dont think we see 1gb gddr5 cards for another 2 months.Quote:

the only bad thing seems the FAN (looks like same as HD2900XT)
HD4870 watercooled should be good ;)

I'm not against your decision though, it's just not what I would have done. Especially because a single GTX280 is more than twice the price of a single 4870 (512MB though) over here.
@v rr: wow that's only a teeny bit more expensive than a 512MB version over here. I guess we are being scammed here up north.
so why do you need all this additional vRAM?Quote:

im by no means nvidias :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:
Radeon cards tend to do better with lower amounts of VRAM. It's just the way the cards handle texture data, they're more efficient at swapping the data than GeForce cards.
you think?Quote:

Will the new ATI Support PhysX or does one have to upgrade to a newer card in future. I want to upgrade to HD 4870 but the new nvidia GPU PhysX support is too tempting
did no one else notice that it appears that the card pictured has no cross fire capability?
that's usually due to the core not being fast enough not the memory.Quote:
