| ...because 3dmark06 is old and not really a fair judge of a card's performance anymore. Vantage is much better for newer cards. Also keep in mind this is a single GPU vs a dual gpu card. |

| Ninja Stargate Addict | it looks like the GTX 280 will come into its own in higher resolutions, especially 2560x1600 but will be roughly average for lower resolutions e.g. 1280x1024. For that reason, i doubt many people will buy it unless they have a 30" and want crysis maxed on it... that is ofc if inq can be believed... |
