Yeah that satement was too generic and was likely more of a 50% improvement over the previous generation as a whole from what reviews show (as it seems to beat GX2 soundly in games that don't scale with SLI, and not so well versus some that do so ~50% average over GX2 is pretty good).
Looks like the GTX280 provides a small improvmenet at < 1920x1200 resolutions but really begins to shine at higher settings
MVP card alright! Can't wait for price drops :/
Yea it really starts looking like there will be a price drop, $650 in my eyes of the benchmarks that are available so far doesn't cut it. More appropriate would be $500 with launch prices hovering around $550 tag.
...hmm.. so $499 is a fud..fake? and $399 for the 260 too?
another thing to look at is that games that are currently out are not designed to use much more than the 128 that was on the 8800gtx. however newer games that are able to use more of the GTX 280's power will see vastly higher numbers of the 9800's and 8800's. not to mention drivers.
2xGTS in SLI will beat G280 and it costs 400e .. or lessQuote:

This card will beat the socks off your GTS SLI rig for sure at high res, once drivers mature and OC'ing happens...you will see who's the king :rolleyes:Quote:

The life is full with disappoints,this is one of them.
p.s. I play at 19x12 ... and the G280 sucks.
p.s. 2. if the card cant handel Crysis,that means that the card is already old and forgotten .
It means Crysis is the only game that has been developed without the ability to be play reasonably on consumer hardwareQuote:

Jeez and always Crysis, same old song too not ???
NEW drivers (2-10%) better performance and what then ????Quote:

No worries Hornet331, Snake is a long time in the bag... prolly will try to spray it's venom a few more times till it gets tired...then we will put it in the meatgrinder...
Plz remove yourself from this thread then and take a seat in the ecomics section...Quote:

G280 is a good product,but NOT a future product .... not for that money !!!!Quote:

MAXIMUM Price drop on GTX 280: $599. Anything more than that is wishful thinking. The GTX 260 price is set at $399 and these price will remain for at least 3-4 months.
The question no one is asking is: If the 9900GTX (G92b aka 9800GTX on 55nm) is coming out next month with improved clocks, will Nvidia go ahead and produce a 9900GX2 (which would be much easier and cheaper to produce at 55nm) as it could possibly end up cheaper and faster than a GTX 280...
or will they cap it for the sake of their own profits. :(

Yes but is it a paper weight yet? :rolleyes:
I play at 1920x1200 with 4x AA ( in some games I can't even manage to use AA ) with 2 8800GTS 512s and the 280 spanks them based on their preliminary benchmarks. The difference between 2 88GTX/Ultras would be less defined but the fact remains is the 256bit GDDR3 of G92 is a bottleneck at this point so I'm excited for the 280 personally. If you didn't notice, the 280 seems to do quite well in DX10 modes in the games listed in those Inquirer benchmarks.
That statement came from NVidia themselves... You'll have to find something not bottlenecked elsewhere to see that show up. Similar to how even though the x1900xt had 3 times the shader power of the x1800xt it didn't always show too much of a gain early on, but you test it with new games and it'll show up almost every single time.Quote:

We need to see some seriously stressful titles before we see what this new architecture is truly capable of. I am, however, noting just how small the hit of going from DX9 high to DX10 very high in crysis is, and that shows a very bright future for these cards.
btw, did you notice the size of the jump from the 177.26 to 177.38(13 FPS in DX10 very high crysis at 1920x1200!)? I wonder what the official drivers released within the opening week will end up with performance wise.
