Centrecom's GB 280x are a better deal if your in vic
If you mean this: http://www.centrecom.com.au/gigabyte-r928wf3oc-3gd-9501072mh…
That's a 280 like the one in this deal, not a 280x. Still it is cheaper, so it may be a better deal.
Damn your right. But yeah still cheaper…
looking for a graphic card bargain around $150
There's a lot of second hand 7950/7970's (equivalent of 280/280x's) going for that price atm.
As long as you sus out who you're buying from (they haven't been killed in a mining rig) and how much of the warranty is remaining, they'll smash any other card in that price range.where does one get this second hand you mentioned from?
Thanks!I got mine off OCAU forums classifieds section, its a pretty good community, most of the guys on there are pretty honest. But I think to access the buy/sell section on there you have to have been a member for at least a month.
Otherwise there's heaps on Ebay, you just need to make sure warranty hasn't been voided and there's no issues prior to buying.
Note; this differs internally from a 280X/7970 GE by having less ROPs and shader units (1792:112 vs 2048:128) and a smaller memory bandwidth (240GB/s vs 288GB/s).
This is not just a slower-clocked 280X. It's a lower tier card. It's 7000 series equivalent would be the Radeon 7950 Boost.
GPU manufacturers and confusing naming conventions; screwing you out of money since 1999!
I am definitely confused! Can I ask for your honest opinion, if I have a budget of say max $300, what is the best card for my money? My current PC that I got for free from work has i7 2.8ghz , 8gb ram, 1tb black caviar, GPU FirePro v4800 which unfortunately doesn't have an HDMI port.
I'm planning to sell my PS3 console and use this computer as a gaming PC/HTPC in the living room.
Thanks!Its an intel core i7 870 at 2.93ghz (I mentioned 2.8, I was wrong)
Also available at more locations at MSY.
