This is really amazing.

I love the second one... its EVGA Gforce GTX 280 (F)or (T)he (W)in!!!! Just what we need! :rockout:

They better break out the WC version fast. Lets not make the same mistake as the GX2 EVGA :shadedshu

Wow, I like the WC versions myself.

The last one is the one I can afford, but the FTW model one is a really good name. Really good.

I wonder how much the wc is...

Hasnt BFG already used that name on some of their motherboards? Im sure I remember seeing BFG FTW something... maybe 750i...

EVGA has the 750i FTW motherboard

And the price is...

So I got to noodling around, and wonder. What makes this bagillion dollar beast better than the 280?

Nothing, in fact it's a lot slower in games, it's basically a 7900gtx with upgraded bios and more ram, it's designed for CAD/3d rendering....

do these cards only support PCI-E 2.0?

So what would happen if you Render CAD or 3D with the new 280? WOuld it be better or worse?

Isn't the GeForce GTX 260 a victim of neglect? Of the GTX 280 keeping all the limelight? This didn't happen to the 8800 GTS when it was launched with the 8800 GTX. I find the GTX 260 the more sensible product at the moment.

Yeah I agree it's the only one even worth considering buying imo, there's no way I would get the 280 unless it was more like £200... obviously thats not going to happen, i think for the vast majority the 260 will be the card of choice... unless the prices decrease a huge amount...

Now if I could only afford one...
