    Why though... i doubt your current card is struggling so just wait it out

    But only if you've got a huge PSU, otherwise it's more like £340...

    Without getting into a mudslinging match I wouldn't want to risk it on a 500w PSU or thereabouts.

    192 is the old one... the new one has 216... Novatech have a standard spec Zotac GTX260 216core for 210 plus free delivery (3-4 days) ... very tempting...

    Tried posting the link but can't because it's my first post...

    A 500W PSU is enough for a single GTX260, a 550W PSU is enough for a GTX280

    Re: GTX 280/260 55nm?

    it all depends n how much power the rest of your system takes up and what kind of PSU it is. You have to look at how much power it can deliver across the 12v rails(or single rail).

    Genrally speaking i would have said a good quality 500-550W psu (Corsair HX, Seasonic S12 etc) would be fine for either card in a normal single CPU system.

    According to Anandtech the HD4870 1gb is a better card than the GTX260 with 216 shaders:

    It also costs £199.99 from Ebuyer with free Supersaver postage:

    Power consumption figures are similiar too!
