Neat review. But unless the 1 GB version is tested at higher resolutions, pretty pointless. 1680 x 1050 wouldn't require texture caches large enough to make this sweat. I think 1920 x 1200 is where the real meat is, and where the GTX 280 has to watch it.

I bought it for 16,400 exclusive of VAT a week back in SP Road, Bangalore.

Haven't tested it though, i'm still waiting for the X3 720 to arrive here.

edit: Also i suggest you don't buy the 512 MB version even if its a lot cheaper, it has a few design quirks:
1) There are no slots on its side to let the hot air to escape out the case.
2) The smaller fan is not temperature controlled, and spins only at full speed or not at all. Its pretty noisy at full speed.

you also get Tomb Raider Anniversary as a free game. They should have given Crysis.
