EVGA GeForce GTX 280 Line-up Unveiled

malware · Jun 16, 2008

Expect nothing but NVIDIA all over the place today. After BFG it's EVGA's turn with six more GeForce GTX 280 cards. Some of them come overclocked, some are even watercooled.

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

WarEagleAU · Jun 16, 2008

Wow, I like the WC versions myself.

PVTCaboose1337 · Jun 16, 2008

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

3xploit · Jun 16, 2008

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...

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....

mab1376 · Jun 17, 2008

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...
