nVidia GTX 280 and GTX 260 Video Cards Released



Some good news today from Engadget, you can finally run Crysis on high quality at your LCD monitor's native res. The article mentions that the new card is 50% faster than the 9800 GX2 but don't get too excited. The GTX 280 which packs 1GB of video RAM will kick your nads hard with its $649 USD (~$690 AUD) price tag and the lesser GTX 260 with its 896MB of video RAM will "only" set you back $399 USD (~$425 AUD). Good to see they've started yet another naming/numbering standard to confuse the average consumer even more.

Edit: Engadget have posted a new article with links to Custom PC who have reviewed and pulled apart the GTX 280.
