how the gtX280 peformance , when play crysis at very high setting & high resolution?

bro, youtube got ppl review the graphic is excellent when in Crysis. But in the end the GC Burned Off due of Overclock @ 100-110C. LOL. The Price for GTX280 also drop till RM1.9-2k. XD

Regards

try look for goldfries.com for his review...

well, that card can perform better if you got a better processor and oc it.

nolah.. its lower than that...i think you can get galaxy gtx280 for RM1599 or even lower

What the....this is GTX200 series topic and how come got ATI 3870 or 3870x2 in here? LOL

wa ... how come nVidia TOPIC become ATi d ?!??! LOL XD

Regards

so why not try an aftermarket cooler? i can decrease my temp about 5C .BTW, it still hot

full load i make another profile 860core/955mem 50%fan around 60celcius

Mayb ATI is the hottest guy in town for the time being

I hv bought a GTX 280 XT at SG$ 695 but found that my power suppy 8pin power connector cannot support.. oh my god.. help.

Added on August 6, 2008, 2:46 pmI think my power supply is old version is it? maybe the connector type is not the latest one to support this new generation graphic card.

i hope that 8pin PSU plug is not for motherboard... GTX200 use same 8pin PCIE connector

Motherboad is using 24pin connector.. the GTX 280 need a 6pin and 8pin connector to power up this beast.. but my 8pin is not compatible

Mobo need 24pin and 8pin / 4pin one...ur 8pin should be MObo used not GC using? BTW what is ur PSU? for GTX280 better used 560W true power above

550W is enough for single gtx280.

btw , if my psu comes with 2x 6 pin , how do i mod another 6 pin to 8 pin ?

Hi.. Thanks.. I am using cooler master real power 550W.. the 6 pin connector can plug but only the 8 pin cannot plug in.. connector head not same

Ur signature still no yet update yet~~ LOL...can post picture of your GTX260?

Me also got GTX280, using only Enermax FMA II 535watt, so far no problem... the only thing that make me x"syok" one is full load temp.. damn too high nearly 94C using Everest n EVGA Precision software..

lol.. but gtx280 around 1.5k ar?? lol all so rich fella's 1....

dunno evga gtx 280 in malaysia how much... cos me just using EVGA Step up program..

ooo... hmmmm. ok ok..

huh? u sure?
i do remember that got people complain here...that GTX280 is much cooler than 4870x2

very bad cable management and air flow perhaps.

Just wondering if i have 8800 GTS in SLi, should i switch to a gtx 260? I assume gtx 280 is better then my current setup but how about gtx 260?

There are two version of 4870x2, which is the 2GB and 1GB ones. From what i understood after look thought all the review, the 1GB of 4870x2 are far from beating 280GTX. in fact, its a bit behind 280GTX!

People are so hype about the 4870x2 they fail to see all the card that beat 280GTX is actually 4870x2 2GB. of course the 2GB is waaaaaay more expensive than 280GTX, heck after the nvidia price slash 280GTX is cheaper than the 1GB version, with identical/slightly better performance!

IMHO the 4870x2 2GB only beats 280GTX with sheer brute force, 2 die and extra ram. Viewing from another angle, the 280GTX is more power efficient, and put up a really good performance only using 1dice and 1GB of memory.

So nvidia fans REJOICE! NVIDIA IS FAR FROM DEFEAT! Anyone with me?

No such thing as 4870x2 1gb from the AMD officials. Where you get that info?

loll.. so geforce gtx200 series the entry card is how much??? 1k?? lol hmmm

sabah pc fair gtx260 lowest is Rm1k -.-

hahaha.. lol... hmmm over price.. lol... i think 500+ graphic card more than enough 2 play current game.. but i not sure of next year game.. plan get gaming machine next year.. after get angpow 1k+ lol.. need get another 2k+... but plan buy laptop first from dell... i think get low entry laptop... hahaha..

The FUD mention about the possible configuration. But the release and benchmark of 4870x2 1gb gddr5 is nowhere to be seen.



Other than this, the sku might be scarce which is almost non-available for the mass.

4870x2 1GB benchmark

is this it?

i'm using CM Stacker STC 01 n i don't think my cable managemant is bad.. open case still full load temp nearly 94C..

I thought so it was from techpowerup. If you actually read....



... that obviously not 4870x2 1gb gddr5 since the other chip and frame buffer is entirely disable. That only show a projected result of future sku (4870 1gb gddr5).

That's very high. My load temps are around 75C. CM690, 5 fans. Hmm I'd recheck the HSF, but that might void your warranty..

So anyone knows if a GTX 260 beat a 8800 GTS SLi setup?
