Nvidia drops GTX 280 to $499 ??
GTX 280 drops to $499
Written by Fuad Abazovic Thursday, 12 June 2008 09:24 Nvidia was planning to launch the Geforce GTX 280 at $599 and the GTX 260 at $449, but now it looks like both cards will end up priced lower than it was originally planned. The reason for this is simple, ATI will price its cards aggressively. The new suggested retail price might drop as low as $499 for the GTX 280 and $399 for the GTX 260. We were advised that some of these prices, especially the GTX 260, might go down further within a few weeks after the launch. ATI's Radeon HD 4870 will again be cheaper than the GTX 260, and our sources believe that it can give it a run for its money. We will see about that, but at least the HD 4870 will end up cheaper to begin with. http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?op...853&Ite mid=1 |

Still to expensive anyway i'll never pay more than $250-$300 for a top of the line video card again ever. |

The way PC gaming is going these days, I'm not sure I'll ever upgrade my
video card again. |

I'm waiting to see what the X2 variants are going to be like. I would like
to see a vapour chamber cooled X2. That'd get my money. |

For gaming, the only worthwhile thing from these new cards is that prices for the existing X2 cards will drop. Here is a guy with 3 GTX 280 in SLI: Air-cooled - http://overclockingpin.com/final%20g...le-sli-air.jpg http://overclockingpin.com/final%20g...-sli-air-2.jpg http://overclockingpin.com/final%20g...790i-air-E.jpg LN2 cooled - http://overclockingpin.com/final%20g...-tek9-40-2.jpg http://overclockingpin.com/final%20g...0/e54519-2.jpg http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=191313 |
