Could this mean anything? A little slip up by VR-Zone?

AMD is coming up with their much-awaited Radeon HD 4870 X2 next-generation graphics card, while NVIDIA has responded with its GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 280 dual core GPUs.

Off topic, but would a Corsair 450watt vx with one hard drive, oc'd E2160 handle the GTX 280?

Possibly, but I wouldn't want to chance that one. :(

And if it powers it, ya CPU would need an upgrade too to give this card the CPU power it requires to show off...

Not sure about that..

Going by this article it should be fine and my own experience ( I have had a 8800gtx, HD3870X2 and 8800gts 640mb ) in that pc and didnt feel my E2160 @ 3.20ghz held the cards back on a 24"..

Im going to go for it :D

Am I the only one waiting for the new wave of graphic cards to buy a new rig ?

You'll be wanting to upgrade that PSU (it has no 6-pin + 8-pin) & is probably on the absolute limits of being able to run the GTX 280.

Its has no 8 pin, but has 6 pin, I have a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter..

Getting worried now, it did handle the 3870X2 fine, good sign?

Worried about my mobo too, its a p31 ds3l with no pci-e 2.0, will my super video card be bottlenecked by the slot?

Feck I will make a new thread :D

It'll be bottlenecked by the CPU but almost certainly not the slot.

Sorry but like most of the Guru 3D stuff it's not tested extensively enough. From what I've read of their reviews lately it's wise to take all their conclusions with a large pinch of salt(not Inquirer large but large nonetheless). Besides looking at WiC results paints a very different picture.

Thanks can I have a link to WiC please?

Lots of CPU intensive games out there. I'm on 1920X1200 and I upgraded from a +3800 X2 @ 2.7Ghz to a E6420 @ 3.2Ghz, both running an 8800GTS 640MB, and I saw huge improvements in my Source based games (DOD:S, CS:S, HL2), Supreme Commander, and lots of RTS games. Most games there was little to no difference, but there were too many games that saw improvements for me to ignore. I went with the E6420 because of the extra cache, which CPU intensive games really like.

AMD does not need the extra cache, Intel does. This is because AMD has integrated memory controller and lower latency to the actual RAM than Intel CPUs have. So basically it doesn't matter if AMD CPU has 1 MB or 24 MB's of L2, but for Intel CPUs it makes a huge difference.

Going from my old x2 3800+ to Q6600 I saw a MASSIVE difference at 1920x1080P(42" plasma) as well. Crysis went from chop-chop-chop to playable, UT3 lost it's various slow-downs here and there in warfare, and a few other titles had similiar effects.

Generally speaking, faster cpu's do better in the minimum frame-rate department.

If the 280 gtx performs as good as it sounds, I will definately be buying it depending on whether the gtx or hd4870x2 performs the best. Do you think my corsait 520hx psu will handle it? I'm running an hd2900xt and a quad which are all doing good. Buying a new PSU is something I'm not tempted at doing.

Nice to see confirmation but nothing we really didn't already know.

I'd like to see more info on clocks, pricing, and what exactly 50% higher shader performance is supposed to mean.
