$650. End of June. Yes, probably.

GTX280/260 announced for the 18 of June.

GTX260 $ 449 / GTX280 $ 64

HD4870 FTW! X360PS3AMD05

HD4870 FTW! X360PS3AMD05

Some rumours say that it will fight with the GTX260, and the 4870x2 with the GTX280.

The 4850 should fight the 9800GTX.

We'll have to see benchies, just 2 weeks more for their releases!

hm. now im not sure tho... cause i could get 2 8800 GTX for like 150 cheaper than the 280 GTX...

and then theres this HD4870

so do you guys think that the 280 GTX is gonna be worth its money, cause it better be pretty damn good if i pay 650 for it. Snowboarder145

Well the Very high end segment is never worth it in price vs. performance, but thats not what you get either you just get the best out there and that cost money.

What about those people who splashed out on a 8800GTX when it was first released...they are laughing even untill now.

But you said that the 4850 will fight with the 9800GTX and now you say the 3870 can beat the 9800GTX?

This is getting more confusing.

im regretting getting two 9800gtx's .. now im contemplating selling them for the new beast... if its rly substancially better that is. ( only 2 months :( 9 series... what a joke.. )

nimatoad2000

Nvidia 9 series was a joke, probably the biggest failure since their FX series. About the only card worth buying is the 9600GT and eventhough the 9800GX2 is currently raping every card in existance, the price doesn't justify for its performance.

9800GTX? What a joke....

but the 280GTX is gonna be even more than the 9800 GTX. would you say its justified

Snowboarder145

well if its better then sure. this is the way economy rolls. producer makes a product and if the consumer ( high end gamers) want it enough.... and a lot of us do.... we will pay huge amounts for it. maybee we should stop buying the high end cards so they need to lower their prices ;)

ya im down for that.

i priced everything up saying that the 280 GTX is 650, and its at 1800 without service on the PC. I guess thats not too awful of a price

SHiFTY_v4

8800GTS 512mb =/= 9800GTX while costing $50-$70 less. Not a joke? :roll:

Compare to a 8800GTS?

Lol, argue all you want, if it wasn't better they wouldn't have released it. Youre the one with the 8800, ..you will defend it all day.

Lol.

One 9800GX2 is equivalent to two 8800's in SLI. There isnt a big difference in the cards but there is still a difference.

SHiFTY_v4

The 9800GX2 is a single card only needing 1 PCI-E... not 2 like SLI 8800GT.

Nvidia did a perfect job to get naive people just like you to purchase there cards that have no performance increase over pass gen.

My 3way 9800's will last a lot longer than your 2way 8800's. gg report loss.

ive probably made it confusing but this is what i mean, the HD4850 will compete against the 9800GTX whilst the HD4870 will beat the 9800GTX by quite a bit but also fall a bit short of the GTX 260, hopefully thats cleared it up.yoyo462001

Enough.

I also hate when people try to sound smart by not knowing some info and saying that the other people have no true backup.

This may be a bit harsh but... learn to difference ddr, pci, pci-e slots before quoting people talking about hardware.

-CheeseEater-

Yes, by nvidia.

The GTX 280 will be one beastly card, but I can't justify paying $650 for a graphics card, or even $450 for the GTX 260.

I would buy a cheap card, like a 8800 GTS 512, for now and then buy a GT200 card when they drop in price, which should be in Fall 2008. Supposedly, that's when they'll start producing 55nm variants, which will provide them better yields and consequently result in lower prices.

Report your fail. You're 3x9800s lasted about 2 months untill better cards came out. Period, better cards are coming out, so technicaly they'll be out of date in like a month.

2x 8800GTs on the other hand have lasted quite a long time, almost a year and a bit.

If you put them into comparision they may start and end at different periods but the 2way 8800GTs will have gone longer.

Personally, id say after some research that 8800 is a better deal, but screw both of them, if the 280 really can destroy crysis im going for that

I'd go 9800 over 8800 in present day.SHiFTY_v4

Why? Because you don't play at high resolutions?

Hm, im trying to sound smart?@ Aparently you don't know how o read. But it's pointless to judge something before it's even out yet. so gtfo before i dome you.

SHiFTY_v4

Sry if i misunderstood you, maybe because apparently you dont know "how o write". ;)

But i agree, we cant really compare things before they release, that was why we were talking about rumours.
