http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-001-OE&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1176 awesome card for the money

[[TiG]ABE]

how much better would this be compared to my 8800gts?
200quid is not bad was thinking of upgrading

[[TiG]Suppafly]

that exactly what i'm wondering too ABE. I want to upgrade mine too and am very tempted to get this one

[Cully]

Abe and Suppafly my brother got the ATI 4780 card recently.
While researching it i read articles saying it has 4 times the performance of your average 8800GTS.
Since my bros old card was an 8800 GTS i was looking for articles comparing the 2 cards.
Having seen his new card in action i can vouch its atleasat 4 times the performance of his old 8800.

Correct me if im wrong but i think the card Grim linked is Nvidias answer to ATIs 4780 series?

From what i can gather it outperforms the ATI 4780, thus making it more than 4 times the performance of your 8800 GTS mate
So yes its a big upgrade.
Im tempted myself but as yet i havent found a game that cant i cant run at 1920X1080 maxxed out with FSAA and AA etc with my current rig.
I too have an 8800 at the moment.

That seems a hell of a bargain tbh.

my current card http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=333960 is really decent but the only thing is that it only has 320mbs of onboard ram. I really should have pushed the boat out a bit more when i wad getting it and at least got 512mb. Ohwell. I reckon I will most probably go for this one now. Should last me for a good while without having to upgrade again too soon

this card pisses all over the 8800ultra (which is about twice as fast as the 8800gts 320) i used to have and is faster than the 4870 with the added bonus of being nvidia (for drivers)

The 280 is slightly faster than the 4870, but I got my 4870 for ?244 and the 280 was just under the ?400 mark. The 4870 is now ?230, and the 280 is ?347.

The way I saw it was a card that had maybe 44 pointes less than the 280, at nearly half the price.

Saying that, the 280 at ?250... which is basically ?275 ain't bad. May have gotten that if the price was right at the time.

As for the drivers, ATI pwns nVidia, esp on my 64bit XP system.

9800gtx is pretty much what you got atm suppa waste of money only other card id go for would be the gtx260 which is as fast as the 4870
