at those prices, just get both!

Well it doesn't look like I will be upgrading any time soon....

Are they serious? $650 is rediculous. I don't care how quick the card is, I refuse to pay so much for a graphics card.

lol. IMO it's hell not a graphics card for a normal person. The one that has too much money and needs too much of a rig to play a game can have it.

It was the same with 8800 ultra and those high end stuff that are always reserved for the guys with "deep wallets"

50% faster than the geforce 9 series *cough,cough geforce 8's* doesnt warrent the 200-300+ extra price tag. But if they were 100-150% faster then ya the price would be justified.04dcarraher

WHAT THE ****?!?!?!

I don't get it. It is very easy to save that much if you cut courners. Only one meal a day, no lights or AC, walk to work, etc. :lol:

I sure hope the ATI offerings are better for the money. I am building a second rig this summer and I really don't want to spend more than $180.

Based on rumours, I'd say it's slightly more than double the performance of G92 (~2.1x the performance of G92 ).

I don't blame NVIDIA for the high price. GT200 is a financial nightmare *cough* 570mm^2 die size with a 512 bit bus *cough*.

Then it sounds like par for the course. Weren't the 8800GTX's about this price when they first came out and wiped the floor with the 7's? And IIRC, these new GT's are supposed to feature PhysX support in pure hardware (instead of via CUDA).HuusAsking

Still CUDA...

Been waiting for news of this

Gonna upgrade soon as positive reviews come in:

Core 2 Duo E4400 - Q9450

8800GTS 320MB - one of these 8)

2GB 800mhz OCZ - DDR3 Kingston 2000mhz

The biggest performance leap in graphics were 6***'s to 7***'s hopefully this would be equal to that leap with the current cards otherwise I might not upgrade GPU immediatelly.

When's the supposed release date? I hope it's when I'm in america. I'll be buying one when I'm out there because no doupt they'll come in at around $800 in the UK.

EDIT: just saw they come out june 17th, I'm in Florida in july. Think I would be able to get my hands on one for around $450?

The price GTX280 is fine for what is offers.

Awesome. Looks like I'm getting one of the 260 for the price of what currently is a 9800GTX. WIN!

Does this mean its a bad time to buy a graphics card or a new computer at that?bf2wounder

By the time those cards will launch, expect price drops.

GTX 260 seems to be a better deal. EVOLV3

... :P

What sort of PSU will these need?death1505921

Around 180w just for the GTX260, the GTX280 will require more juice (240w).

Think a 500w will cover it? And holy smokes at Sadicoviks benchmark o.O!
