I'm also looking for a GTX280, because it's single core.
However, I'm gonna wait untill the new revisions are in. With new revision I mean the cards that are build with a smaller die.
Right now I thin Nvidia is still at 65nm, but thay are also making cards at 55nm.
I;m waiting for those 55nm card to hit the stores. Should be cooler, and it's a further revision so card-makers learned from their first mistakes
As far as I can tell, oktober will be the time these cards hit the stores.
The 'official' release should be at 27th of August, but then it will take a while till the cards are actually for sale of course.
If you want more info, google for GTX280 and 55nm
I dont know which language you speak, but here is some text in Dutch.
