[RaZz!]

3 280s sound very fun to me

...but the power consumption of such a setup doesn't sound fun though

That article is from 1.5 years ago...that slide was from a few days ago. Maybe its just friday, but Im not making the connection....

The slide is also 2 years old but i didn't notice.

[IMG]This basically means that if the 4870 GDDR5 is $329, the GTX 280 will cost the same as two of them in crossfire.

Okay, but the question is now if 2 oc'd 4870 will outperform 1 oc'd GTX 280, that would be interesting to know. What is sure is that the Ati couple will need more juice to do it's job... what's left is how will these $-prices translate into €. If it's really 419€ then this is really nice!

€419 for the 260 maybe, We will be lucky to get the 280 for less than 550 euro going on previous 8800GTX prices...

Heh... good catch!

[xt0m]

Any pricedrops for the 9800gtx?
Thinking about getting one..

Thought the same, if price drops on GX2 might get one of those (again)

In the article you could read "no leaks to the inq" which you also could read from the picture someone posted.

Less than 550 for an EVGA of BFG would be tolerable if it's like the g80 in the sense of lasting around 2 years...

[Hu1kamania]

Can someone post the prices from the pic? Its filtered out here at work.

[natty]

$450 and $650

[ColonelCain]

Jeebus..! Can't wait for a "real" 9800 (and 4870) comparison..

Same. However, patience is key in this situation.

[FischOderAal]

Reading too much.

The 9800GTX also got 2 different positions. The new is a tad lower placed

mabye the height shall indicate the price. seams reasonable that 9800 GTX will be cheaper when GTX 280 and 260 come out.

[Milos-stancene]

Is E6600 2,4 @ 3,1 a big bottleneck for G- monsters?

[Bo_Fox]

I love the INQ for letting us know about that GT200b tape-out!!!

If the INQ were not around, some of us buyers would be real pissed off when Nvidia releases a cooler, faster, more power-efficient 55nm version 2 months later, or less!

For sure, it will be more power-efficient (nearly 100mm^2 less silicon--exactly the same as 8800GTX/Ultra, and cooler temps). I also think it should be able to clock at least 5% higher, if not 10% given the huge number of transistors/power consumption/silicon die size estate thanks to 55nm.

[Richard Dower]

This has just priced me out of the market, i'll have my 8800GTS O/C card a year in July...was considering an upgrade, now....not.

[BenchZowner]

Bo_Fox the 55nm refresh will more than likely be released in November/December.
And to be honest, the possibility of a 55nm refresh sounds like old news to the ones who have been watching the GPU's "revolution" for a year or so.
History repeats itself

[Hornet331]

hmmm... this year is going to be a expensive year... 600€ for GT280, 500€ for a new phone, + 1600€ for nehalem.

[Richard Dower]

€500 for phone?, i'm guessing a 3G Iphone?

[Hornet331]

screw the iphone, im going for the HTC Diamond/Raphael, Samsung SGH-i900 or the Gigabyte GSmart MS808.

thought i think i cant wait for the MS808, cause the diamond it to tempting.

[XS Janus]

IMO those high prices are indicative of the lack of Ati 4xxx series performance... :/
again... :/

[natty]

Funny how one obviously biased idiot writing a single article can sway the opinions of so many people.

I'm not a green freak


I just hope a antec 1k could hold up to the job oced to the max....another psu might be needed.

[adamsleath]

280 performs 44.4% better than 260 then?




i'll answer that one myself:

NO, but that's the price of being at the top of the dungheap

However, patience is key in this situation.

on a more positive note; the $450 price does sound quite reasonable....but might have to wait a while until this actually occurs in the shops. prices will be gouged to deth until supply is plentiful.

[natty]

Do you guys think the gtx 280's will come with a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter?

My PSU has two 6-pin connectors only.

[adamsleath]

3870x2; some came with adaptors, and some didnt.
