the 295 beats the 480 I think from what I read. The 280 will always be beaten by the 480 i'm afraid.
No, the gtx 280 went end of life long ago and is no longer manufactured. It was first superseeded by the gtx 285 and now the gtx 480.
I can also safely say that the gtx 480 is superior in many ways to the gtx 280, not least because of direct x 11 and cuda.
It isnt better than all of the 400 series,you should check out review and you will be proved wrong. For example the "mid-range" gtx 465 matches the gtx 280 easily,is quiter,lower temps,direct x11,lower noise,lower power consuption. Just think about everything before you say. . Anyway check up on reviews and most likely you will be proved wrong..a gtx 280 is around 200 whereas a gtx 465 which is around 175 would beat the 280 easily. Am not sure of pc spec prices but am quoting average prices. But if ur an extreme fanboy i guess you could get pc spec get the 280.
Good luck dude
400 series fermi are also alot smaller than the massive 200 series
the 295 beats the 480 I think from what I read.
Both dual gpu cards
All the 280's/285's have been snapped up by ATI owners looking for some dedicated Physx goodness.
Wow, that's a lot of info'. Thank you.
More research on video cards needed by me then.
I agree completely with sleinious last post . Also about cards getting costly as they are discountinued..why do we tell people to get a bigger power supply then make a sli/corssifre config as the card wil be cheaper. Because what you said just goes againest that thoery :/. Also can you have a ati card and a nvidia card in at the same time?...so quad crossfire and 1 nvidia card for physx?
