Default GTX280 Compatibility
I foudn artifacts on my HD4870, and crackling sounds from my X-Fi so im returning both of them and getting a GTX280 instead.
(Please do not complain about this because im not going to change my mind, ty.)

Can anyone tell me if a Tt DuOrb VGA cooler can be compatible with a GTX280? If not, what VGA coolers are compatible?

No it will not fit. The only air cooling heatsink that will fit is the Thermalright HR-03 GTX

That's your only option other than waterblocks.

Sry to bother, but you'll regret your decision.If one card out of 10099 is faulty and you don't have luck, you're not supposed to kick ATI out of option.Go with 4870x2

No but i know the GTX280 has better performance. Anyway, the X2 costs more than the GTX.

Does the DuOrb fit on the X2?

No. Only watercooling will work on the X2.
