GeForce GTX295 Card Exposed

[Blacky]

I'm getting excited. So two regular GTX 280's should perform better than one of these cards right? Since the 295's bandwith has been cut down to a 260's 448bit bus

not really, if you look the reviews comparing a 216 and 280, the 216 OCed wins by a quite significant margin on most of the games take a look here

I still never understand comparing an OC lower tier to stock higher tier, both should be OC.

since when is an overclocked and stock card comparison valid

clock for clock it cannot beat a 280

so you are saying that $$ value means nothing to me

I do, but do you get mine? Paying $100 more for something that gives 10% is pretty pointless. Especially when the faster card runs hotter and uses more power. It even costs you more in the long run. I just think value is going to outweigh minimal performance differences in the next while.

lol i am not arguing value for money in my previous post.......we are specifically talking about performance differences and fair comparisons

not dollar for dollar comparisons

i am not saying one is better than other
hey i run a 8600GT in my 24/7
its very fast for everything i need it for.....to me your GTX260 looks like a waste of money too but i am not arguing that lol
