GTX 280 GTX 260 Realesed!!


The GTX 280 has been announced and is ready to hit shelves tomorrow. I don't know if anybody is going to buy them because they are around $650 for the non overclocked one and around $880 for the water cooled version.
If you are looking to spend that much money go ahead. My suggestion would be to wait for the ATI 4800's to see the performance numbers because ATI said that they will not release anything more than $500. If you do not want to wait then here are all of the reviews for the GTX 280 and 260:

GTX 280 Full review!!







This review is of the Zotac GTX 280. It was put on line temerally, but still enough time for people to take screen shots. Look at some of the pictures for yourself, not a big win over the 9800GX2. For the rest of the pictures head over to VR-Zone.

GTX 280 Power Consumption!

The GTX 280 has been on all of our minds for the past couple of days. Now today VR-Zone has released some power consumption tests. First a single GTX 280 at peak consumes 292.2W of power and two GTX 280's consume over 500W of power. That is rediclious! Even worse they had some 3DMark Vantage scores with a single vs SLI cards. The single card with a QX9650 and a 790I SLI scored P10324 and in SLI it scored P15813. I would say that the drivers still have to be matured and especially the SLI drivers because that is pretty bad scaling.

Vision Tek HD 4850 reviewd!!





THe Vision Tek HD 4850 has been reviewed by the guys over at Vr-Zone. This card is going to be the middle card of the 4800's series while the 4870 and 4870X2 are ahead of it. The tests were all run with a QX9650@ 4.0ghz. From what I can tell the card is not all that great and seems to be on par with my 8800GTS 512@stock. It is supposed to beat a new GTX 280 in crossfire mode with 3DMark Vantage, but 3DMark's do not really show the real performance numbers as in games.

First GTX 280 Review


This is a picture of the first official review of the GTX 280. THe two resolutions are 1600X1200 and 2560X1200, but only four games were tested. The games are Crysis, Half Life 2, Company of Hero's, and World in Conflict. Overall it beats the 9800GX2 in all of the games except for Company of Hero's which it lost by one.
