XFX GTX 280 XXX Edition
Roydon Cerejo, Jul 02, 2008 1424 hrs IST
The XFX GTX 280 XXX Edition looks good on paper but will it take the crown?
Good performance with AA, Supports PhysX and CUDA, Good cooling.
Insanely expensive, Power hungry.
The Box
The box looks really cool with the large GTX logo in the center followed by the model below it. XFX continues its green and black combo and it works well. This is the 'Assassins Creed' bundle and there's a picture of the game on the upper right corner of the box. On the '8' series cards, the different editions were clearly marked on the box in bold letters ('XXX Edition', 'Alpha Dog Edition') but here there is only a little round sticker on the right that says 'XXX Edition'. I completely missed it the first time and it was only after I saw the clock speeds I realized it's the over-clocked version. I don't know why they don't print it distinctly on the box itself like before.
Bundle
The card and the bundle are packaged really well with a lot of soft foam padding that keeps the card and the accessories secure.
The card comes with the following accessories:
DVI to VGA adapter
HDTV Component adapter
6 pin 'Y' power cable
SPDIF cable
Assassins Creed full game DVD

Agreed I already ordered my MGS4 PS3 because i am sick and tired of forking out thousands of moolah every year for new graphics cards

Guys, let's get one thing clear, most of the games you use for benchies were stressing hardware back in their day simply because they were BADLY OPTIMIZED. All the games you bench on, except maybe Call of Juarez (because it is still crappily optimized) get PWNED by my 3 year old 7900GT, after patching them to their latest updates. Bottom Line: Find new games to bench on. Period.

No need to buy this thing yet I have checked Radeon HD4850 & HD4870 reviews and they both rock. they both manage to beat Geforce 260GTX in most of the tests. Both have 512MB Memory but Radeon HD4870 has 512MB @ GDDR5. Just wait for Radeon HD4870X2 I m sure it'll beat Geforce 280 & 9800 GX2
