Re: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 Graphics Cards by EVGA and PNY
the GTX 260 is 40% cheaper, and only 15% slower. That seems like the better buy, considering they'll both be outdated within a year.

I wouldn't say out dated in a year... Look at the 8800 GTX... Came out in 2006 and I didn't call it out dated till June 2008.aircommando13 wrote:the GTX 260 is 40% cheaper, and only 15% slower. That seems like the better buy, considering they'll both be outdated within a year.

im just being cautious after what they did to the 9800GX2, cuz that's just messed up. People don;t like it when they pay $600+ for the top graphics card only ro find out 3 months later there's a better one.
