its only the heatspreade
same size as g80 (on first glance)
8800 gtx:
gt200 gpu located even further in the back of the pcb --> lots of heatpipes

Could this mean anything? A little slip up by VR-Zone?
http://www.vr-zone.com/articles/H1_'...X2/5766-6.htmlAMD 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.
Its in the trinity review
Off topic, but would a Corsair 450watt vx with one hard drive, oc'd E2160 handle the GTX 280?You're doing your math wrong...
GT-200 will be high-end, and AMD/ATi plan to aim the 4870x2 at it... Take that 159w for the RV770, multiply it by about 1.8x, and suddenly that 250w on NVidia's side doesn't sound too crazy now does it?
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...
Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved
Remark : They call me Pro AsusSaaya yupp, I agree
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
Am I the only one waiting for the new wave of graphic cards to buy a new rig ?
*bites nails*
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
It'll be bottlenecked by the CPU but almost certainly not the slot.Its has no 8 pin, but has 6 pin, I have a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter..

This article says it all about the gpu...

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.

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

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.
Each shader has 50% higher performance clock vs clock. So, even if it was just 128shaders, it'd have 50% higher shader performance at the same clock speed. Now remember they almost doubled the shader count, and you're talking about ~187% higher shader performance at the same clock, unless my math is off, which is possible, because working all day makes me slow when I'm finally off the clock.

If the gt200 shaders are really 50% faster clock-per-clock than the shaders on g80/g92 and gt200 has the same shaderclk as g80 it would have 181% more shaderpower.

Don't remember the results of the HD3870x2?You're doing your math wrong...
