Who has one of the new Nvidia 280 cards- how do you like it?

I don't have it, but I can certainly tell you its not worth $200 more than the 4870. Extremely over priced, right now I would recommend the 4870 over the GTX 280 any day.
 
No-one has them, the new 48x0 radeons offer so much more performance for the price and in CrossFireX outperform a 280, usually for less than the price of one 280, you'd have to be stupid or a really big (and rich) fanboy to buy the new GTX2xx cards.

I'm not an ATi boy (look at my sig), picking either one is just stupid. I'm just saying the GTX 280 for hardly being better than the 4870 is extremely over priced.

Clearly, I wasn't including you because you have a 9800gtx...

280 vs 4870

I was just stating a fact. Oh, and before you start calling me a fanboy...

-My current card is 8500GT. By NVIDIA.
-The card in my previous computer was GeForce 2 (MX-400). By NVIDIA.
-The card in my pre-historic (I think it was around 2000?) rig was RIVA TNT2. By NVIDIA.
-The only ATI card I've EVER had was a RAGE2 in some computer my parents bought in... I think it was 1998. And I didn't get to pick the card, that's what the computer came with and period (I'm not saying it was bad). All NVIDIA cards I've ever had I've bought myself, by choice.

Clearly, I am a pretty big fanboy, aren't I? Thought so. Fanboy for life, yea...
