I briefly considered picking one up, but decided against it. I've got other things to buy
"To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."

seems to be just a little faster than a gx2 or a little slower
about the same as the review of the sapphire 3870x2 wc 9800gtx 29.1 fps

Well it all depends how the benchmark was made, ingame it runs often faster than many of the timedemos in the Crysis benchmark utility and there's also a wide range of slower and faster running timedemos and remember it's DX9 "High" settings and combine that with a not so demanding timedemo it could be legit.

Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved
Remark : They call me Pro Asus Saaya yupp, I agree
so 280 GTX final clocks are 700/1150/1400?

it's on a PCIe 1.1a MB isn't? c2d...
maybe PCIe 2.0 and c2q give more advantage for the gtx 280?
me like, but me canna afford.
but the test showing 8800gt at 4x 16x 1600x1200 in crysis and 34 fps @ high settings is a farkin joke...id say more like <20fps at those settings.
20-25 fps @1280x1024 with 4xAA roughly.

Something with low core clocks will never be 75% faster at lower resolutions where core clocks shine and cpu speeds actually matter. It isn't going to surprise me when this thing gets its @$$ handed to it by much cheaper solutions at 1280X1024 and the like. Fortunately, there are people who have a purpose for cards like this.(this implies it, but does not mean me specifically)

They are using the same test system to benchmark each video card. I would think you can use each group of benchmarks to judge how one card would scale to another card. There's no way you can judge those benchmarks to what we get on our systems.
I ran the following Crysis test:
EVGA 780i
Q6600 @ 3150 MHz
EVGA 8800 GT SC (2x) SLI
Crysis Benchmarking on Vista 64
Timedemo: benchmark_gpu
DX10 1600x1200 AA=4x, 64 bit test, Quality: High, Overall Average FPS: 13.15
Those setting wouldn't be playable with my system. The only component that I have in common with the Techpowerup test system is the PSU.

That's probably the only website with such low prices. Everywhere else its 550 Euro. Plus the POV edition with 700 on the clocks will be 600 Euro.
Also, I have NO idea wtf you guys are talking about. The GTX 280 was never meant to be 2x the 8800 Ultra or the GTX
It's a monster of a card and will only get better from here on out. ATI is in NO WAY any form of clear.

It's just for that price ($650 USD) people expect it to perform according to the pricetag, and it seems like HD4850 might put a 9800GTX run for it's money so I bet HD4870 will perform somewhere between 9800GTX and 9800GX2 depending on game it might be even very close or par with 9800GX2 and that with a pricetag of $350. Now if GTX 280 only performs about par with 9800GX2 or slightly better than it who would pay so much more money for so little extra performance?
I personally hope GTX 280 will perform not only par or slightly better than 9800GX2 but significantly better to make it worth that $650 pricetag as otherwise a pricedrop is to be expected and the INQ's $500 pricetag would sound more reasonable but yea I don't have much faith in those Techpowerup's faked or leaked numbers or whatever, so to me GTX 280 performance is still wide open mystery.
Just saying it doesn't suprise me people expect that much performance boost out of these cards.

Honestly, it could be that nvidia wasn't expecting the 9800gx2 to be so powerful when they were designing gt200 (in other words they weren't expecting to have to worry about clocking the gpus high) or that ati forced nvidia to play its hand with the 9800gx2 and make it more powerful than they expected
