Hmm, SLI GTX 280 also don't require 2000W power supply. Heck, even Tri-SLI doesn't require that much.
Single - 550W
SLI - 800W
Tri-SLI - 1000W
Single - 550W
SLI - 800W
Tri-SLI - 1000W
A quick test to see how GTX 280 SLI'd perform in Crysis - compared to my previous 9800GX2 QuadSLI:
9800GX2 QuadSLI: Overall Average FPS: 36.43 (Max fps: 58.18/ Min fps: 17.32)
GTX 280 SLI: Overall Average FPS: 47.92 (Max fps: 59.37/ Min fps: 30.74)
Playing the game with less stutters now (compare the min fps on GTX vs GX2), most probably due to its larger frame buffer (1gb vs 512mb) & mem bandwidth (512bit vs 256bit). Keeping fingers crossed, hopefully future driver updates could push its potential even further

Nice mr. adliew 
Thats true capability of GTX280. The true competition is between 4870X2 and GTX280.

@adliew that the impressive result with comparing GTX280 and 9800GX2 
but still abit expensive to get the result...

Hi Adliew,
Thanks for the benchies. It was an eye-opener for us.
Just to share something, GTX 260 beat 9800GX2 when using 3DMark Vantage Extreme, according to Gainward lab test results. This is probably due to the additional stream processors of GTX 260, and bigger memory bandwidth for a single core.
But GTX 260 only cost a fraction of 9800GX2 and GTX 280, and consume less power too. So we think this model has the right balance of price/performance.
To see Gainward benchies of GTX260 and GTX280 vs 9800GX2 vs 9800GTX vs 8800GT vs 9600GT, please click here: http://www.netraid.com.my/Gainward-GTX260.pdf
Since 3DMark Vantage Extreme is considered the most accurate benchmark based on today's stream processing and shader technology, it's gives more accurate indication of users gaming experience compare to the more common 3DMark06.
PS. I salute your awesome rig!!

err...i thought he use GTX 280 Sli?
Oops yeah its SLI, but crysis is just too much for us. Hope the sequel is not that heavy.

i always wonder as well, the designer/programmer create it without testing it? even if he test it, what kind of rig he uses to test it?
anyway adliew, how you got your GTX 280?

Cyrsis is really bloody hell heavy,the heaviest game of 2007 if i'm not wrong
as long as the game runs well, they dun care,just like my company testing our prototype products..
LYP already sell the GC la..first day sell at ALL IT,3 ppl grabs GTX280..that one was detected buyer,undetected duno how many..

Based to Cevat, the expansion pack will be more optimized for mid-end rig. When they are done, in future they will release the patch for the original title, which will boost the fps much further.
wow adliew so fast post ur graphic card result d.
satisfied ma?? wan get 1 more to tri- sli?? haha
oo btw xfx gtx 260 and zotac gtx 260 reach d
price is around RM1.5k to RM1.6k

9800GX2 SLI sure lose to GTX280 SLI cause Crysis still cannot fully utilize all 4 Cores...that games max is utilize 3 cores only(Tri SLI each Core Card) 280GTX Tri SLI should be VEry VEry High FPS at all very high setting

I had enough of Crysis, 1 heck of lousy game engine. spend invest thousand ringgit still cant play the game well. This year i'm looking forward FRY CRY 2 maybe juz another eye candy game or WIC Soviet Assault.
Crysis we just used for Benchmarking the Cards only....ANd WIC Soviet Assault just for PS3 and Xbox360 Only.....Far Cry 2 still have't release so best way is Crysis Benchmarking or 3Dmark Vantage

what rig r using?so sad to hear invested thousands ringgit but still cant play crysis
playing far cry 1,i really hate to find potion for health yalar..Crysis is good to benchmark GPU and CPU since they got utility there..

urm yes crysis is use for benchmarking only as it's the heaviest most shader intensive game ever,
and about wic soviet assault is for ps3 and x360 only, u're dead wrong, it's on pc too
about far cry 2, im not too sure la, because it's being develop for consoles too, i think they cannot push the game graphics as the console gpu are weak
For PC just a misson pack only to let us play Soviet Union Mission and it like Expansion nia...So want to benchmaking it just used original WIC benchmarking it
I want to see some result of GTX260 on a 4.2ghz+ E8400 or QX.
I only need 3dmark01-06,with or without lod.
Vantage and game benchmark is crap,not really needed

No discussion for this card eh. Bye2 Nvidia
sigh.. look like GTX260 price is kinda high too...
comparing HD4850 only 10%-20% behind it's performance
but 50%+ less in price.
but...running at pretty hot temp...

HD4870 cost around RM1.1k, it's better than GTX260 in most games
apesal nvidia leh klh ngan ati? 
baru nak wat sli, xkan pkai n680 nak wat crossfre lak

4870 pwns gtx260. It is official, Nvidia created the next 2900xt.
aiyo compare 4870 with 280gtx la

btw the gtx2 series card quite ugly+so damn pricey...

and that won't be for a while more, i'm afraid. nvidia's arrogance kinda screwed themselves over.
This month's PCGamer (US) showed some benchmarks... I gotta say that I'm really impressed with it..
AMD is coming with 45nm by the end of the year..Is this some kind of..?
Its 5k series i think.nVidia maybe GTX300 series?

nVidia will need more den die shrink 2 mek more powerful VGA card..............
dey will need a better architecture.........
GT200 series brute force architecture was powerful, bt @ the same time very costly..........
not likely GTX300 will com by d end of dis year..............
dey will need more time 2 work on the next gen........
bt perhaps dey will b upgraded version of GT200...........
I not say its coming at the end of the year for GTX300.But the 45nm from AMD is true i think.
Upgraded version of GT200 i think is GT200b

I am still waiting for the killer mid end Nvida G200 base graphic card.G80 GTS PCB with 640MB Vram,45nm or 55nm 144SP G200 core and dual slot cooler,price at ~RM800 like 8800GT used to,i am sure will be 4870 killer when driver mature.

If the 4870 can sometimes win over a 192SP and even in some games > 240SP, the 144SP part seems like anal ra*e game for the 4870.
