I expected more for the price, but that review is by no means damning. The GTX280 is only behind in older programs, such as Half life 2 Episode One and 3dMark06, which doesn't bother me in the slightest. What really matters to me is it's performance in Crysis and World in Conflict, where it leads by a significant margin. Admittedly it only leads by a small margin in CoH, but I'm still convinced the GTX280 is the way to go. If someone can prove that it is not, beyond a doubt, however, I will gladly purchase a different card. I'm looking for the best, within a fairly large budget range.
