Performance Notes Again, there's only one title where the 280 really outperforms the 260, and it's the CPU-light Quake Wars. Half-Life 2: Episode 2 shows differences only benchmarks can determine. Synthetically, the cards about tie in 3DMark '06, and in PCMark Vantage, the 280 does worse--a sign that it needs a lot more CPU to even things out. 3DMark Vantage is the only synthetic test that shows the 280 doing much better than the 260, which is, at the very least, to be expected.
