[MitchAndSammyDriftz]

thumbs up if u always skip to the bit where they get to the graphics card

[MyXMesha23]

E pa, prcio sam ja tebi mamicu za ovaj drugaciji video!

[PCGamer1471]

how do u get the benchmark tool?

[67CopperHead]

yea i saw on for 300$ i am buying this beast

[workensmart]

Im getting the super clocked 280 GTX 1GB. I got the ATI 4870 which sucked they have no drivers support and there cards run very hot. Im returning it tomorrow.

[tasos853]

i have overclocked my nvidia 6200 turbo cache to (core bus) 700 mhz

and  (memory bus )1400 mhz

[asus3571]

i dont know what these noobs are talking about not impressive those were great framerates but i would like to see aa turned on witch will drop the rates a bit how long is the card in inches

[RickArter]

Thanks think its a bit under 11 inches I believe.

[asus3571]

hey brother would an cprsair hx 620 be enough to run that card

[xboxbenny]

yea easy u only need 550w psu for that card. buy either a gtx 275 or 285 they're better

[asus3571]

thanks but from what i know the gtx275 is basiccaly a rebranded 9800gtx+ witch in cpu mag got one of the worst products of 08

[rbq123]

actually, the rebranded version is the GTS 250, not the GTX 275

[asus3571]

yea i saw my mistake but after many beers forgot to correct my mistake

[rbq123]

lol

[AnotherEclipse]

eternalkp sucks, RICK FTW

[midbluegreen]

oh come on it DX9 all high and only 54 FPS, seriously it's not impressive at all.

it would've been impressive if he got the same amount of frames at 1680.1050 all veryhigh and DX10.

[NuclearMouse94]

What dose it cost in US dollars?

[eternalkp]

not impressive at all

[RickArter]

Whats not impressive?

I guess you got a Core I7 965, 12GB of DDR3-2000, ASUS Rampage Extreme, and GTX295s in Quad SLI right?

[dgmxviana]

lol priceless :P nice rig!!!!

[pcguy500]

what resolution were you running at?

[RickArter]

1680x1050

[sushiboy805]

how do u run a benchmark

[Wigwahm]

I missed this video. Nice video card, even though it's Nvidia ;) You made a very smart buy. It is kind of tight in your case but it looks great! I hope you do a video of your PC as a whole soon, great work.

[SPLITZRZR]

next time add anti aliasing!

[SmokeyRain0722]

Mine didn't come with a sticker T_T. GTX 260 Superclocked Core 216, 896 MB.

[sushiboy805]

same ahah

[rainbowrampage1]

neater than my case anyway :p

[Hassasin195]

NICE!!! These thing rock! (i have 2 :P )

[psycopyro001]

Is that a BSOD in the background?

[RickArter]

No its my background now I got the beginning pic in this vid as my background.

[psycopyro001]

ohk i thought you were running some sort of virtual machine in the background

[Famoussasdrummer182]

freakin awsome great buy

[Intelpentium54321]

I agree the sticker is the best

[RickArter]

Been waiting for someone to say that thx for all the great comments guys

Rick

[EtheEnthusiast]

5/5

[Phoenix81690]

I'm actually pretty impressed with my 260 it's getting 1 FPS less than your stock 280 because of my overclock, not bad considering the price difference.

[eppik]

Challenge you for a Pcmark05 Showdown Rick :D

[RickArter]

Your on just got to get it installed

[eppik]

K ill make a video As soon as possible with my Score :D May the fastest Machine Win

[K1berdemoN]

[CRAKIZGOOD]

hey rick i think u should make a "vs" benchmark of ur old and new gpu xD

it will be fun

[RickArter]

I would but already sold it

[CRAKIZGOOD]

how much did u sell it for

[PekeVideos]

wow great graphics card

evga the best

[overclockerfx]

Now thats a nice video card and makes me jealous :P

[Robertwright889]

wow man finally u got a cool video card!!! gratz

[devo85x]

congratz dude! your rig is beasting mine with gaming! NICE! :)

[FOOSAG]

Congrats!! That 7600 GT served you well. Now moving on to the GTX 280!!!

[fucknotyou]

Finally upgrade my video card and it was worth it. This card is a beast and can run almost every game on the market perfectly with good frame rates. almost? it can run everything xD Nice vid.

[masterchiefx2]

congrats man keep up the gd work

[arvutihull]

Congrats on your new awesome card!!

[R3APERvsTYETREE]

Congrats on the new card mate nice to see some power in your system now ;)

Tyetree

[1G0TP1NK8C1DB00TS0N9]

I agree with you, that is very impressive for Crysis. Cause most people only get 10-20FPS with everything on high. And DITTO, that card is huge!

Peace :)

[m41c0ml1n3]

lol i never got a sticker with any of my pc parts i bought...

[R3APERvsTYETREE]

The backplate is needed on the 280 because the memory chips are on the backside of the card so that backplate actually acts as a heat sink, the 285 has no backplate because the memory chips have been re positioned on the otherside with the gpu.

R3APER

[RickArter]

Thanks reaper you got any new vids coming?

[R3APERvsTYETREE]

We allways have vids coming as soon as somthing new is around we will get and post vids.

Gona do some pi runs for your other vid running from 4.5 up to 4.99ghz

will put them as responses to your vid keep up the great work bro

Tyetree

[RickArter]

Sweet looking forward to the vids

[MN12BIRD]

Wow the video card blocks almost all your SATA ports? That's a bad design on the motherboard manufacture. They should have put them below the secondary PCI-e port so at least if your only running one card you can use them all. I only have 2 hard drives too but I also have a SATA burner and a Sata to eSata bracket (came with Vantec eSata enclosure) so that would be a disaster! Can you fit some 90 degree cables under it? Anyway, nice card I didn't expect you to go so big!! Huge upgrade!!

[CRAKIZGOOD]

he can use that bent sata cable it would work fine

[RickArter]

I checked and their is no room even for 90 degree cables.

[akaDotDotDot]

I saw the blog post and came as fast as i could so happy you got rid of that old card.

[Roly702]

Nice you finally got an upgrade :). I just upgraded from my GTX 280 to a GTX 295, I was thinking of getting a 2nd hand GTX 280 (There were a few of the same cards I had going around too, the MSI OC 700/1400/2300 clocks) however buying them 2nd hand was a little bit of a hassle. Either way just OC the GTX 295 a little bit and I'm not too far off GTX 280 SLI performance :).

[Roly702]

However do keep in mind that after a while the thermal material on the GTX 280 may wear and the card may run hotter. This has happened with a few GTX 280 owners (Me included). When I first go t the card for example it ran at maybe max load of 63-69c tops and now at the same ambient temps can sometimes jump to the 80c+ mark. I dunno if this was a problem that stemmed from reference cards or AIBs individually, but hopefully EVGA are using better thermal paste on their cards then other AIBs.

[CRAKIZGOOD]

i guess u should get that metalic thermal paste if u want a link reply

[johnnytheaznboss]

THATS INSANE MAN, lol im still pushing my old system hehe. then again i dont need a gtx 280 for combat arms, let me know how many frames yu get in that lol

[Badie05x]

Nice card there. Finally upgraded good to know :D.

[evolutionpr]

Sexy card rick, congrats on the upgrade.

I'll soon be upgrading I think . . . to an e8400 & a 750i mobo

[Neosferaku]

My god that thing is huge.

[dandanthefireman2]

yayay! congratz!

[NRP1991]

wow that thing is huge very nice tho!!!!

[RagingReaper101]

Gonna get my tax return soon. Gonna swap out my case and crossfire two vid cards.

[Fencefeet]

congrats bro. amazing piece of hardware there.

[pcmodding123]

good vid

[big4wheeler]

Gratz on the new card Rick.

[lil0egy0kid]

why have you been on a 7600gt this whole time? 0.o

[cupofrice]

When you opened the little hold for the card and there was no card, I was like "WTFF" at first xD

[LaGgY42o]

lol, wtf, youtube is fuxing up, says video is no longer avalible, but I can still see the video and hear the audio behind the message. lol.

[LaGgY42o]

::EDIT::

n/m, works now after like 20 refreshes lol.

Allso just have to ask, (if you got this card just recently) why did u get the 280 and not the 285? 285 is cheaper + it OC's higher b/c of the 55nm die resize.

[Yoda8232]

How do you feel from going from a 7600 GT to a GTX 280? You deserve it man. :)

[KandAshow]

Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 You got a GTX280???? WOW I'm REALLY happy for you. I hope to be able to get a 4870 in the next couple of weeks if my friends buys my old computer.

[CIAmrx]

eh you gotta get Vista man..xp blows its so old looking. there are no problems with Vista these days dont listen to the whining noobs.

[paulbreor]

I would say that its better to run a gtx280 in dx10......

I must say rick.....I would have bet hell would freeze over before you got a better videocard.lol

Good job..you deserve it.

[zebra002]

I agree 100%...Vista has been rock solid for me for a long time now!

[CIAmrx]

nice rick! finally! epic win!

[BryanMumble]

nice 5 stars

[Skumpcake]

agreed, you deserve it lol

[Xezmer]

wow gratz man 5/5 beast

[Xezmer]

oh yeah and what are your current specs?

[NukethaWhales]

how did i know u were going to get one of these... i should have known u were getting this when u mentioned it on the live chat lol

u deserve it after having that old card for ever 5/5

[rebel4055]

was that with me? XD
