Worth going from 280 FTW to 285 FTW?

If you were looking to upgrade from say....a 8600gt or something I would go for the 285 but from a 280 to 285? That makes no sense. You'd probably not see any perceivable difference in-game.

i want to buy a GTX 280...but

If you're looking at a GTX 280, why not get the GTX 285 instead? From what I've seen, the 285 is better than the 280 in every way. For some strange reason the 285 is actually cheaper than than the 280 at Newegg though. The only single-card solution that beats it in benchmark is the 295 and...

*** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

Thanks, Husky55. I was using the Antec SmartPower 450W PSU that came with the case. I've heard about these dying on folks pretty early so I was more than happy to shell out the money for a new one with an EPS ATX plug. Everything is running smoothly now. :)

*** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

Alright, after a week of frustration, I finally got the P5B Deluxe/Wi-fi to POST so that I could update the BIOS. :shocked: Lesson #1: The extra 4 pins for the EATX12V connector does matter...even if they are covered up by a mysterious black plug! The manual is really ambiguous about it as...

*** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

Okay, I just got my replacement P5B Deluxe and I'm still getting the same problems! The first time I boot up, I hear one beep but still no video. Every time after that, I get no beeps, no video. In order to run a dual core CPU, does this board absolutely need an 8-pin +12V ATX plug? It seems...

*** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

Yeah, I know there's a black cap covering the 8-pin connector, but the manual says you can either use the 4-pin ATX12V plug or an 8-pin EPS+12 plug. I have 3 different ATX12V 2.0 PSUs and none of them have an 8-pin power plug. I assumed that only using the standard 4-pin would be sufficient...

*** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

I'm having the same problem as many of you have had getting the P5B to POST. Same story...the board is powered, all of the fans are running, the vid card's fan is running and the onboard Asus logo lights up red; however, I get no video to even get into the BIOS and update it, nor do I hear any...
