I've heard bad things about the noise from this card.

But other than that, it looks pretty good. £40 more than a 4870 1GB and the performance increase seems to justify the price increase compared.

But yeah, it's loud, so you'd need some good after market cooling for it, IMO.

I also heard it's fucking huge. Longer than a GX2 and a 4870X2.

Shit, just realized the title says 4850.

Oh well, still a good price I guess (though 2x4850 is still cheaper, wtf?).

Well then, that's pretty good.

EDIT: Now the 4870x2 needs a huge price drop as well, to go along with the 4870's recent drops.

I'm loving this competition between NVIDIA and ATI.

Remember the 8 series days (Like last week or something ) where it was just NVIDIA to buy? I hated those days.

I like all this choice!

It's gonna make my new build in January awesome

Yeah. BTW there is like 3 GTX 260s out now.

gtx 260 with 192 SP
gtx 260 with 216 SP
gtx 260 55nm with 216 SP

+ overclocked versions

edit: I wonder how many actually buy a stock 280 thinking it is faster than the XFX GTX 260/216 Black Edition. lol

I thought they where calling the single card the GTX 285?  It was meant to have all the specs of the 260 (memory, bandwith etc), but, have 240SP like the 280).  And ofcourse 55nm

GTX 295 is two of them apparantly underclocked.

also, 960SP (two GTX 295s), I am coming to get j00 max <3

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

:b.... .. . .

What's the betting you'll be able to get overunderclocked versions (i.e. clocked back up to full speed and with fancier cooling) ?

No doubt.  It has (well it looks like) the same cooler as the 9800GX2. 

https://en.expreview.com/img/2008/12/16/GTX295pic.jpg

And as we know, that was two 8800GTS, clocked from cores of 650, down to 600.  And you could ofcourse buy, teh supah supah clocked evga 9800GX2 for a bajillion dollars (that had the standard clocks) <3.

Not really worth it over the 4870 1GB imo.
