There are fewer things that make the techology geek in me very happy than to see a couple of graphic heavyweights go “at it” in a serious game of ping-pong GPU – it only drives them both to excellence and prices down.

We’ve actually had these cards for awhile now, however, decided to hold off on the review in order to give the market time to adjust the pricing on it due to the Radeon-4000 series coming out and stealing much of the 280′s thunder.

Since that time, we now see these cards as low as $450 which makes them a far better P.P.R. (Performance-to-price-ratio) for the consumer.

AMD really ramped up the competition this summer into a ferver with its release of its 4000-series GPUs which have really done a lot to turn things around for them as well as the viable choices of powerful graphic cards for gamers. Its current line-up of cards are priced in such a way that even the “budget gamer” can get a card that kicks ass.
