Where to Buy GTX 280M?

first I apologize for my English.
I want to change the graphics card for a GTX 280m, but do not really know where to buy it.
Does Dell sell individual components?
On the internet I find nothing.

Thanks

 

You can supposedly buy the card from Dell for $454.99. I don't know if they will actually sell it to you right now. This price is without a heat sink and fan, however.

Also, you could try asking Eurocom to see if their cards come with everything.

 

Rjtech.com also sells them. contact them to see if they do international shipping

 

you'd still need to buy the fan and heatsink from Dell.

 

jandroflu. What notebook do you plan to put the GTX 280M in?

 

Are the fan and heatsink different for the 280s than the 260s?

 

If I understand the question, in a alienware m17x, which currently has a 260M GTX card, and wanted to upgrade to a 280M, but I will also have to change the fan and heatsink. Is not it the leading?

 

talk so Sleey0

He is thinking about selling one of his 280m's I believe

 

Yup.

PM me with any offers....

 

I do not see the tab to send a private message.
Do you know if I can use
the fan of my GTX260M?

 

You need atleast five posts to be able to send and receive PM's. You will also need to wait for the server to refresh after you achieve five posts.

 

Sorry Soviet Sunrise if my way of explaining occasions confusion, but do not speak or understand much English, and I'm using
google translator. I just want to buy a GTX280m, but do not know where.

 

how much and why selling????????

 

Not sure on price, but I planned on selling it from the get-go.

I wanted a single 280 and that's what I got Just want to make up some of the cost of the system.

 

I think the prices others suggested in the price check forum seemed pretty reasonable . Especially compared to Dells prices

 

With this message came at 5 and can
send private xD. I go to sleep, here are 6 hours later

 

Instead of upgrading your 260 to a 280 would there not be more benefit in installing a second 260 in SLI?

 

How much is rjtech selling it for?

 

Rjtech i think only currently sells the Mxm 2 cards and those are $490.00.

 

You can SLi a 280 + 260.

 

Yeah, I think I'll just say $550 shipped and call it a day

 

Nice price Sleey, I think that is very reasonable considering shipping is included.

 

as is the heatsink (which reject will not include I believe)

 

RJTech also offers the MXM 3.0 version of the GTX 280M. However, you will need to email them for a price quote as they do not have it up on their website. They are in short supply right now, but send them an email anyway and see what you can dig up.

 

Yeah I'm aware of that, but in his OP he states he wants to change his card.
So I assume that means change out the 260 and put in a 280.

I would suggest SLI and use whatever he can source cheapest a 260 0r a 280.

 

Sleey0, Are you going to sell the card with the fan, heatsinks and SLI cable?

?

The truth, not whether to buy a 280 or put a 260 in sli.

 

It'll have everything but the fan. I believe the fan costs like $18 or something from Dell.

So, $550 + $18 = $568. Don't think anyone can beat that.

 

Dell can

 

hi sleey0 let me understand this you try to sell one of yours gtx 280's and keep only one! you kidding me why? or maybe i am wrong

 

hola jandroflu porque quieres comprar una tarjeta gtx-280 es mejor que instales una gtx-260 en sli y de esa manera ganas mas potencia porque si instalas una 280 con una 260 automaticamente las dos trabajan como 260's, otra cosa que todos estamos esperando son las tarjetas 4870 de ati que muy pronto alienware va a ofrecer para la m17x es por eso que lanzaron la version del bios a-02 para soportar esas tarjetas y seran mejores que cualquiera de estas

 

I am selling my secondary 280 to recoupe some cost

One 280 is what I wanted anyway and is enough for me.

 

so you not upgrading to the new cards when they come out

 

Sure.

But I am not holding my breath, that's for sure

 

what about a swap i give you my 2 260's and cash for your 2 280's

 

Hmmm

I'll have to think about that. lol

 

take your time i am not in rush

 

itcher4360, que alegria poder entender a alguien sin el traductor de google xD.
No es mi fuerte el ingles.
La verdad es que tienes toda la razón. Mañana iba a llamar a Dell para preguntar por una gtx260, que me va a salir mas barato.
Voy a aprovechar un poco para hacerte unas preguntas por si las sabes:
*¿Compraste tu portatil con ese procesador? es que también estoy pensando en poner el QX9300, pero veo complicado cambiarlo yo mismo.Hay un video de "The Moo" muy util.¿te sirvió de algo?
*He leido que sale más barato comprar una tarjeta primaria y flasearla para ponerla de secundaria. ¿sabes algo de esto?
*Tarjetas 4870?mmmmm igual hay que esperar. Espero que no tengan un precio carisimo.

Bufff tengo tantas preguntas que no quiero ser pesado xD.
Poco a poco.

Muchas gracias por todo. Me alegra entender algo en este foro.




Witcher4360, i´m very happy to understand someone without the google translator xD.
It is not my strong English.
The truth is that you're absolutely right. Tomorrow i was going to call Dell to ask for a GTX260, I will come out cheaper.
I will take a bit to ask you some questions if you know:
* Did you buy your laptop with this processor? I'm thinking to put the QX9300, but it seems very complicatedo.there is a movie of "The Moo" very useful. have you been of some use?
* I have read that it is cheaper to buy a primary card and flash to bring it into slave or secondary. Do you know anything about this?
* 4870 Cards? Mmmmm like to expect. I hope you do not have a price very expensive.

Bufff I have many questions and I do not want to be heavy xD.
Little by little.

Thank you very much for everything. I am glad to understand something in this forum.

 

mira me da mucho gusto tambien yo creo que tenemos que introducir el espanol al internet poco a poco, y por tu pregunta el video de moo esta un poco malo en calidad pero si sirve para la primera vez que operas tu ordenador por otra parte my compu venia con el procesador que tu tienes y yo lo cambie he actualizado hard drive por solid state drive,dvd drive por blue ray burner 4 gb memoria virtual por 6gb,pantalla 1440x720p x 1920x1200p,procesador q9000x qx9300, bueno my historia es larga y me toman 15 minutos llegar a el procesador porque tengo mucha practica si tienes preguntas con gusto te ayudo en lo que pueda

 

por tu otra pregunta lo olvide si puedes comprar una tarjeta primaria y flashearla pero de donde vas a sacar el firmware para hacerlo bueno me voy a desconectar un rato despues hablamos

 

Glad to see "the" avatar back, witcher

 

yeah to many claiming about that that's why

 

Pues como no encuentre un firmware para flasear la 260 me va a salir mejor comprar la 280 de Sleey aunque pierda rendimiento de la misma.
Witcher4360 eres un artista tio. Y todo eso lo has cambiado tu mismo? joe macho, menuda maquina eres.
El QX9300 donde lo compraste?en ebay? es un ES?

Bueno voy a seguir trabajando un poco xD.
A ver si alguien mas se anima a escribir en castellano xD


So as not find a firmware to flash the 260th ,I'll do best buy the 280 of Sleey, though it loses performance..
Witcher4360 are an artist. And everything has changed you? you are a machine xD
The QX9300, where you bought it? On ebay? is an ES?

Well I will keep working a bit xD.
See if someone else dares to write in Spanish xD




PD Sorry Batboy.

 

@jandroflu:

Please check your PM. Thanks.

 

asi es lo compre en ebay y es oem lo mas que he alcanzado alterar la frecuencia es a 2993 mhz.​

lo que pasa es que los voltages estan muy bajos para alcanzar una frecuencia mas alta espero que con otra actualizacion del bios aumenten el voltage un poco. y por lo de la tarjeta habrias de esperar un poco al menos que de verdad la necesites​

si analizas las cosas cuando las tarjetas de amd. salgan a la venta vas a encontrar en ebay muchas gtx 260-280 a la venta y mucho mas baratas mira si quieres mas rendimiento de tus graficas aumenta la frecuencia de la cpu en el bios sube tu fsb. a 1250 al menos vas a alcanzar una frecuencia de 2400 mhz. ​

y si quieres aumentar la frecuencia de tu tarjeta bajate nvidia system tools de aqui http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia_system_tools_6.02.html y cambia las frecuencias de la siguiente manera 660-1050-1650 esa combinacion funciona muy bien y de esa manera tu gtx-260 es igual o mas fuerte que una 280

​

-------------------------------

is well on ebay and buy what is oem as much as I reached to alter the frequency is 2993 mhz. [/ LEFT]

what happens is that the voltages are too low to achieve a higher frequency hope Updating the BIOS with another increase the voltage a bit. and what card would have to wait a little unless you really need it [/ LEFT]

if you analyze things when amd cards. go on sale on ebay you will find many 260-280 gtx for sale and much cheaper if you look over your graphics performance increases the frequency of the cpu in the bios up your fsb. to 1250 at least you will reach a frequency of 2400 mhz. [/ LEFT] and if you want to increase the frequency of your nvidia card system bajate tools from here http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidi...l to or stronger than a 280:) [LEFT] [/ LEFT]​

 

Voy a hacerte caso y esperare, que de momento no es imprescindible.
Ademas los de DELL en España me dicen que no venden piezas. No lo entiendo.
Gracias por todo. Se agradece.


I will take your advice and I will wait, Which at present is not necessary.
Besides the DELL in Spain say they do not sell parts. I do not understand.

Thanks for everything.

 

REMINDER:

Thanks.

@Witcher: Please edit your post. Thanks.

 

mira ya me advirtieron que escriba traduccion de mis post. quieren saber que esta pasando good sometimes is better wait believe they going to come up with better cards next year
