trilogy3337 $135!? There must have been some trade in there too........... Nope. Card's never even been OC'd, or even had the stock HS taken off. I think I got lucky. Oh and if anyone is interested there's a 285 @ $75 shipped in FS right now, which would be good for 01; http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=1068354

I think it's a great price, if I hadn't just picked up the 285 Classy I'd get that in a heartbeat.

I keep seeing these 280s going for so cheap though.. It's so tempting to just get 3 of them and sell my 260s. Ideally though I want TRI 465s or 470s for DX11 gaming 24/7, then have my slew of benching cards reserved.

I would love to have another set of 465's. I wonder how surround vision would work with quad SLI?

nateman_doo I would love to have another set of 465's. I wonder how surround vision would work with quad SLI? I don't think the 465s can do quad, only TRI. The 470s I know for a fact are limited to TRI. I believe that the 285 Classified, GTX 480 and GTX 580 are the only Nvidia cards capable of 4 Way SLI. I would get 4 of the 6870s and go Quadfire but they can only do dual. Which is a real shame. Although I suppose 6950 TRIfire would be nice too for gaming. I've decided also.. If I ever get a dedicated benching system, GPUs are going on air. Watercooling them is a real PITA. For a 24/7 gaming rig though it's very nice to WC them.

Hehe. I would run a benching system on air at stock clocks 24/7, then put it on subzero on weekends.. Or the occassional boring week night. Oh and has anyone seen that Gigabyte has 295s and 285s BNIB on newegg? I think they're BNIB, that's what they're marked as anyways. I want one of the 295s.. Or six. Or ten. Ya know? I always wanted to try my hand at binning cards..

Still though... it would still be nice to have some "extras". Great clock on that 280, wow. Very, very impressive. I'm gonna have to pretest my 285 soon.

Halo_003 Quad SLI.

They do indeed have some sweet deals. I hope for one as good as my current. but anything over 728Mhz core on air @ 1160-1188 is okay with me. Nateman looks like it's you and me now rocking the 295s. I'll do my best to give you a run for your money at the top Quad SLI spot.

Isn't there a evga voltage tuner that has been "tweaked" to go higher than evga's version?
