Too late (and too expensive)! I just bought an HD4870 with 500MB to replace a 8800GTS with 500MB.
I guess the announced HD4870X2 will force nVidia to lower the price of the GTX280.

I am playing totally different games my friend
I think the memory is making a real difference..with my 8800GTX I had 768

99% playing Race-Sims, thats why my own lovely Website:
hallo.ismooi.nl

See the list and you know what I mean

I just changed the card for a 260GTX TOP version from Asus...its around 275 euro in Holland now

Wish everyone a lot of fun with his new card

Hans.

Re: Who's getting a GTX 280 in June ?
Overclocked it a little, 650 core default >> 695/1496/1150

So only Core and Shader

3Dmark 06 >> 17342

Wow, by the time the 55nm version of the chipset comes out - these things will be cheap as a 9800GTX
