280GX2 - sooner than later

We all know GX2 version of GTX200 will be coming sooneer than later, i have to admit 4870X2 is a magnificent card but its way too overpriced to me.

anyway, just like when ATI releases 3870X2, it was a hell of a card but when Nvidia releases 98xx, ATI's best offering looks just like a cat, a silly cat especially when running games.

So, folks with SLI board should not worry, GX2 of GTX200 will be coming soon and will take 4870X2 down and make it looks like a cat.


discuss.

hmm, yet, you recommended the gtx280 even when new, and now the x2 is too expensive, odd that.

Nvidia will lowered G280 to 350$ and release 280GX2 as low as 499$. Cant get better than that. Nvidia luvs gamers.

ROFL.LMAO.OMG .Oh this is just to funny .You should do stand up comedy.Oh my ribs ,this is the best day ever,thanks

He starts a thread about a card that doesnt exist, talks about the competitions last generation, and the prices are supposed to be 1 third of what they are now. WELCOME TO DREAMLAND

True, but instead of trying to flame him for the nvidiot he obviously is, we are informing those who do not know.
Nvidia will simply not be able to produce a viable dual-gpu solution with the G280 core due to the fact that they only do dual pcb cards.. which would be impossible considering I highly doubt nvidia can strap two single slot coolers and have it running under 100C. Secondly it would most likely need two 8 pin connectors to power such a monster

lol, it would have been slightly more credible if concrum had said they were coming out with a GTX290 or something of the sort, but a dual card? ha! it'll have to come with a free PSU and fire extiguisher for people to buy it.

P.S. 10$ says within the next week someone says Nvidia is coming out with a GTX 290

P.P.S In response to the post above mine, no Nvidia will not let ATI have the crown, they will almost certainly go berzerk on the next generation and try to plant ATI's face in the ground, I just hope ATI is gonna be ready.

Fanboy alert!!! When 280gtx came out it was like $650....thanks for red team the prices went down :] You say that just released 4870x2 @ $569.99 is expensive....? The prices will go down you nuublet x(:

I think ATI is prepared an is also moving on to something else,like the cinema 2.0.Intel talks about raytracing,Nvidia is pushing physics,but I think this cinema 2.0 thing looks amazing and am hoping that it gets here with in the next 2 game cycles.What do you (plural) think.

gtx280gx2 is a dream. what nvidia could do best is release gtx280 on 55nm coupled with ddr5 ram......thats all i think is possible for nvidia rit now.
*****

maybe concurm jus likes to prove he is a lame lame lame wannabe clown. i don think nvidia wouldn want to hire anyone and give chance to ppl to laugh at them.

but then who will make us feel better after a long hard day.......we need entertainments

guys why are you fueling his stupidity, he's obviously toying with us

i mean seriously, no1 can be this into this graphics card business, even a dimwit

he enjoys fueling flame wars, don't reply to any of his messages, just give him a red thumb, make his message dissappear, and that's it really

Now I may be wrong in the following statement so bear with me but:
Isn't ATI already able to do PhyxX and Raytracing at a decent level with little or no driver modification, that cuppled with the Havok physics that is being ported soon, I'd say ATI is on the right track

How do you power up a card made of two GTX 280 cards? At most, a PCI slot with two 8-pin connectors would be able to get 375W if I got my math right.

If a single GTX 280 can reach 236W under load, a sandwich made of two of them would need 472W, give or take a few. Even with a die-shrink to 55 nm and lower clocks, I still don't see it happening.

Nice try though...

Edit: oh, and Concrum, what's up with using "cat" as an insult??? Cats are smart. My cat has never ever posted garbage on a forum, for example.

They may include a nuclear generator with it. You know, like those in Red Alert 2.

Wow...a lot of people arguing over speculated product without any information to either support or debunk it. If anyone posting here is working at nVidia or AMD/ATI, please let us know what information is correct. Everyone else, please, keep speculating.

This is almost as bad as the Brett Favre BS from the past month...everything is speculation until something happens...that doesn't mean its worth arguing over until then.

Go Jets

nVidia should just put All the defective G86 or G84 Chips on a card and Concrum will think its better then ........ Well he may never know.........

I think they have bigger issues then beating ATI now!

You're hijacking the troll's thread. I guess that's a good thing

Why is Concrum not banned? Can we start a petition or something? Seriously I'm suck of this ****.

concrum needs to be banned.

Even at 55nm, the 280 would be impossible to x2. The 260 may, and I mean just barely, do it. What I find to be disturbing about a 260x2 is, we all know that a good portion of that card is disabled. To do that purposely, and to 2 chips, well, thatd be a new low for nVidia. And the cost would never go below 500$. But if they really want that top spot...

Will it be water cooled?

The TDP of the G280 at 65nm is 236 watts. Since anything over 250watts is impossible, nVidia would have to severly cripple a G280x2, even at 55nm. Being that the 4870 isnt that far off from G280 performance, being that the power requirements currently make the x2 design impossible, being that even shrunk down, the G280x2 would be at least 30% larger, and thus more expensive, being that the G280 uses a 512 bit bus, which requires many more connects, which also have to be precise, makes the card more expeensive, and finally, being that nVidia has harmed its reputation lately regaurding price/performance of their cards, nVidia, IF they could pull off this miracle, wouldnt sell very many of them
