Yeah, saw that today when I was visiting the site to make some comments and revisit the OC thread.

I have my system OC'd back to the 3.375 GHz I have in my signature, and all seems well, but it won't hold up to Prim95 x64 stress testing...

Anyhoo, I just missed my step up period, so I'll be sticking with my 260s at 192 with 65nm architecture....

its a continual ''work in progress''....
I HAD an EVGA 260 GTX, but upgraded to BFG 280 GTX(and yes, it's was pricey) damn, but this card is sexy, and I'm sure it will perform good.
Good work.

Thanks for the heads up - I'll check it out tomorrow at work or maybe tomorrow night. I would have thought the opposite, but one question - are you comparing 65nm 216 core to 55nm 216 core at the same clocks?

I HAD an EVGA 260 GTX, but upgraded to BFG 280 GTX(and yes, it's was pricey) damn, but this card is sexy, and I'm sure it will perform good.
Good work.

I wanted a pair of 280s - that will be in hte future, for me.

BTW, luv yer sig.
