I'm finding it hard to believe that someone would spend $654 on a GTX 280 Or even more money on two or three of them.

I'm having serious doubts that many people AT ALL will be buying GTX 280s once the HD 4870 and 4870X2 come out. The probability of the 4870, thanks to having gratuitously higher memory bandwidth courtesy of GDDR5, should be quite competitive performance-wise to the GTX 260, very likely beating it; on paper it should beat it, and performance results of the 4850 imply that it does, unless there's something wrong in the RV770 that means that it would not gain much from having a lot more memory bandwidth after ALREADY seeing a tremendous boost in shader and texturing power.

9800GTX+? well, little performance increase over the 9800GTX, yet higher power consumption and higher temps, it won't sell good in my opinion. --------------- Why so serious? |
