New GFX card for the new year ?

Having problems installing that new stick of memory? Found some great software or having issues with something? Or maybe want to chat about your PlayStation, X-Box, Nintendo, Sega, even your old Spectrum 48k....! Or maybe something you want to sell or acquire (computing related of course!). Let us know here...

480!! Crike... They don't hang around do they?  :shock:

Looks like it should be able to munch a PS3 Grid WU in about 3-4hrs then? If on average it takes a 260/280 about 6-7hrs to do.  :D

It's a Dual GPU card, so it's realy 240 cores per gpu.
Same amount of cores per GPU as a GTX280, but with the same clock speed as a GTX260.

Also an estimated price of £322.41 (based on $ to £ rate), Time to re-mortgage the cat to afford that. :?
