Default Got a new card today.(Newer than I had)
Picked up a new video card today. So far so good. Had a BFG GTX260 which I will put in my sons pc. He had a 9800GTX. The only thing I dont like about the card is my psu only has two 6 pin pci-e. So I have to use adapters and it just isn't as clean looking.

Well in that case the GTX 285 is cheaper than the 280.

I suppose you got a good deal though.

Is that cause ATI doesn't prefer you? Nah just kidding, nice Card though. Are you going to use SLI?
