XFX GTX 280 XXX Edition

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 Beast
The card is about the same length as the 9800GTX but will probably run a lot hotter, so make sure you have good ventilation inside your case.
The cooler looks like a hybrid of the 8800GTS(G92) and the 9800GTX. XFX is known to produce good-looking cards and this one does not disappoint. The front of the card continues the same motif as seen on the box. I tried to remove the top cover to get a shot of the heatsink but it was a pain in the back side, so gave up.
The back panel features the same old pair of dual link DVI connectors along with a component out port. Above the connectors is a vent to puff out the hot air that the card will create. This is the best solution when it comes to coolers, because even though it takes two slots none of the hot air is dumped inside the case.

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
