    280 v 480 - noise and temps

    Vastly louder doesnt sound good. I was under the impression it'd be the same. Reason for 480 over 570 is price - it seems stock clearances are producing tasty 480 deals here in the UK. It's over $100 cheaper than a 570, infact it's the same price as a 560.

    280 v 480 - noise and temps

    Hey guys, I hear people complaining about how hot and how loud the GTX 480 runs. I currently have a GTX 280 which is another card with a bad rep for noise and heat. However I dont have that many issues with the fan noise from my 280. How does the 480 compare - pretty much the same or...

    Which VGA card?

    6950 better than the 480 then? How is ATI driver support these days? I drove myself insane with my only previous ATi cards - a Radeon 8500 and an X850 XT PE... How likely is the 6950 to flash?

    Which VGA card?

    Hey guys, If you had a choice between the three following cards, which would you choose? Lets assume for the sake of arguement that they are all within $40 of each other. Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti SOC 1Gb Asus GeForce GTX 480 1.5Gb ATi Radeon 6950 2Gb (With a view to flashing to...

    When is next release of NVIDIA card??

    This is a damn nuisance. Nearly bought a 260 Core 216 last month but figured I'd wait to see what was happening this month. The rumours seemed strong and it seemed fairly pointless to buy last month only to have it 'last' a month. I guess I'll see if anything happens on the 18th. If not, I'll...

    Buy a 260 now or wait?

    I'm running an 8800GT and I game at 1680x1050. I'd like to upgrade so I can run the next generation of games (Far Cry 2 etc) perfectly without hassle.

    Buy a 260 now or wait?

    I'm in the UK where our prices suck and board availability sucks even harder. The EVGA Core216's are about $400 here.

    Buy a 260 now or wait?

    Hey guys, So I'm ready to buy a BFG GTX260 Maxcore OC. Now, I know the PC world is an overchanging arena of upgrades where there is always something coming around the corner but it'd be really annoying if something new comes out less than 4 weeks after I buy a shiney new expensive card...

    BFG GTX260 MaxCORE overclocking?

    Hi guys, Have a choice between the Maxcore OC and the Maxcore OC2. The OC is £215 ($410ish) and the OC2 is £225 ($425ish). Is it worth going for the OC2 or should I just get the OC and overclock it? Will they, in theory, OC the same or what? Any experiences? Cheers!

    TOm's has new charts!

    Good charts but take a look at the sum of FPS total charts. Why is the GTX280 on its own topping everything by miles?

    So which card?

    The GTX260 is generally more expensive than the 4870 here - although at the moment the cheapest 260 is £164 and the cheapest 4870 is £169. However I have also just found a GTX280 at the amazing price of £246. Worth the extra? This makes it only 26 quid more than CF4850's..?

    So which card?

    Next question then - P35 and Crossfire. Waste of time? Initial research suggests it might well be.

    So which card?

    Actually I got the prices the wrong way round - 2xHD4850's are £220, a GTX260 is £200 - but it's still a lot more than you guys pay :)

    So which card?

    Whats wrong with the HD4850 CF option? If it's just that its considered overkill, then thats good. Overkill is a good thing, not a disadvantage. I find myself attracted to the big numbers in benchmark tests I've seen featuring them... Edit: I just saw the comment about dual monitors. Wow...

    So which card?

    Hi guys, Want to upgrade the graphics card in my rig. I want to try and get another years gaming performance out of my machine and I feel the best way to do this is with a new video card setup. A bit about how I game - I play at 1680x1050 and like to go for as much detail and AA as I possibly...
