    Hi all, I have been offered 2 x GTX280's for £110, the question I have is is it worth paying this for the two cards and will I see a massive performance increase over my current set up of 2 x 800 Ultras?

    Thanks in advance all.

    Is it £110 each or for the pair? Either way its either a bargain or bargain of the year. Who is offering them to you at that price? A man with a mask and swag bag?

    If you don't want them I'll send you the cash for them now.
    Could do with some more folding cards.

    Just remember that dual card performance depends almost as much on the driver performance as it does the cards themselves and from what I've read recently the nVidia dual GPU drivers aren't too good at the moment.

    Cheers fellas, went and parted with the cash earlier, I am now the owner of two EVGA GTX280's. I'll let you know the diff when I run some benchmarks.
