No diffrence between 280GTX and 8800GTS OC

The 280 GTX is overpriced i admit but definatly not rubbish.. although i cant say i own one. from what i seem to be noticing is that most are unimpressed with the newer nvidia cards because they dont seem to really AMAZE anyone in benchmarks.. But in my opinion i beilive its simpily because they are new. Some are convinced that this simpily isnt possible since these cards are a whole 1 YEAR OLD. I beg to differ. 1 year is still not enough patches will improve, cards will improve. Im convinced that a similar story is for the 280 gtx

Hi all.
Take a look at this:

According to that, in crysis, a £400 280GTX only runs crysis, the beast of graphical benchmarks, 2FPS faster than a £150 8800GTSOC.

What the hell? Is the 280GTX just an overprice, overhyped piece of rubbish, or are those benchmarks spoofs?


Those benchmarks may as well be spoofs. A GTX 280 is significantly faster than an 8800GTS, in Crysis or any other game (with the exception of FlightSimX which is CPU-bound).
