 Posted: Tue, 14th Oct 2008 13:41 Post subject: Upgrade 280GT |
|
 |
Ok so i have alittle extra money these days and i'm thinking of upgrading my GFX. At the moment i have a 9800 GTX and im debating if i should get a 280GT or hold off untill Nvida push out the next series of Geforce cards. I've looked at some charts and i notice the 280GT really surpasses the 9800 GTX at 1920x1080 and other hi-res's. Since i tend to play most games, apart from Crysis at this res it makes sense. Still i dont want to shell out for the 280GT if there's another gen around the corner.
Opinions?
i5 4670K @ 4.2ghz/ Gigabyte GTX 980ti Xtreme Gaming Windforce/ CORSAIR 2x8 GB DDR3 2133MHZ / CREATIVE X-FI / MSI Z87-G45/ 6TB HD'S/WIN10 PRO/LOGITECH Z-5500 5.1

if you decide to pay that kind of money go for the 4870x2, if you want something cheaper go 4870

There is always another gen around the corner...

I've looked at some of the benches and im impressed. But i've always been an Nvidia man.

No there's always another gen down the road, not around the corner. Meaning i don't want to get a card just as a new series launches.

You must be an nvidia man if you thought the 9 series was ever worth buying into

It was an a required buy. 8800GTS died so it was the best budget vs performance card at the time.
Anyway more opinions welcome. Also so if anyone has the card a mini review would be nice.

I had a 280GTX for maybe 2 days. If I were to pick anything available right now it would be a 280GTX and OC it like crazy. Im not a fan of dual GPU setups and if you've ever played with one and are really anal you'd notice the "Microstuttering" that's been mentioned often.
I still consider the 280GTX the king on the market right now.

isn't there a new 280GTX out early next year, and what about the new 260's that should be out very soon.. haven't looked into it in a while so i might be wrong?
