Complete Nvidia GTX280 Scores Posted

Groo Wanderer writes "Since boredom is a dangerous thing on the weekends, I decided to alleviate mine by running 233 benchmarks on the new GT280. This includes 28 gaming related tests across up to nine resolutions, and 9800GTX numbers thrown in for good measure. Since there were no NDAs involved in getting you these numbers, we are not bound by the pesky NDA that lifts tomorrow. You can read all of the numbers here; enjoy."

I keep wondering why people buy 30" computer monitors... is there something wrong with a 1080p 46" TV set? they sell DVD to hdmi cables, and many sets have a PC input.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001098 $1,299 = 30"

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889234003 $1,199 = 47"

that particular set has a PC connection, 2 dvi ports and 1 hdmi, and here's the kicker, the difference in response time? .5 ms the Samsung has 6ms the Westinghouse has 6.5ms

i've heard before that Westinghouse displays are basically big PC monitors, with a TV tuner attached.

now i know, a HDTV generally only supports 1080p, 1080i, 720p, and 480i on the HD inputs, and since this one has PC inputs on the pc input it accepts 1920 x 1080, 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 on the PC input... finding a RGB PC cable is easy, i used to specifically pick out PC monitors with replaceable cables, in case the cable got cut/kinked or the end pins broken.. so i already have cables from old monitors!

is it really worth it to support 2560x1600 resolution? especially since modern (single card setups) gaming cards can't even handle 1080p on modern game engines.. and even with multi card support, the CPU winds up being a limiting factor... OCing to 4 ghz with some extreme cooling solution, like the xp-120 or water cooling... is probably the only way to really push frame rates, even with a SLI/crossfire solution.
