NVIDIA's GTX260 boasts a 2nd Generation Unified Architecture solution for all your most demanding graphic needs. It’s Microsoft Vista ready and has a PCI-Express 2.0 interface. The GTX260 supports 3-way SLI to seriously crank your performance options by using up to three graphics cards to for insane flow rates. Support for DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1, NVIDIA's PureVideoHD, CUDA and PhysX are built in to render even the most intense environmental effects in the latest game titles and bring a brand new video experience to PC users.
The card's core clock runs at 655MHz, relieving your CPU of pixel crunching duty. Data surges through the GTX260's 216 stream processors fed by 896MB of 2100MHz GDDR3 memory. Twin dual-linked DVI lets you display 2560 x 1600 resolution video and graphics on even the largest monitors, or output to your home HDTV via the HDMI connectors (DVI-to-HDMI adapter is included) for maximum flexibility.
The GTX260 delivers fluid frame rates and HD video with solid performance. If your motherboard can take it, the GTX260 can dish it out.

Stable , Fast and well built (update)
- Pros: No software install issues.
Runs quite and under 55c on load at 45% fan speed
Benchmark vantage score of 13,000 (a slight frame drop now and then)
Crysis very high average Frame rate of 40+
Capable of handling extra AA without taking a major performance hit
Good build quality, brushed metal cover plate (all metal heavy cooler)
Stable hasn’t failed any stress test I giving the card
Down clocks itself when in 2d mode saving power
Thermal Headroom for higher Core and shader clocks (haven’t tried oc any further)
- Cons: Large in size, I had to rewire the entire case and Reposition hard drives (Antec 900)
Did not come with 4 pin to Pci-e power connector (wasn’t a problem with vx550)
When the Fan speed is raised above 50% noise level is high (the ole Blower sound)
No back plate to help dissipate heat from underneath the large GPU (not a big deal)
No game bundle included.
Big chunk of shiny metal , Kind of ugly compaired to my duorb :(
- Other Thoughts: Overall I have verry happy (so far) with this product. It meet my expections in every degree. Some would say that the OPEN fan design will Dump alot of heat into your case. In my experience i can't Stand those blower Standard soultions. Ive used dualorb on a 8800gt and now this and i think the open fan heatpipe design is the best soultion. better temps , lower sound and hasn''t heated up any other componets in my case :)
Antec 900
E8400 core 2 at 3.6 GHz
Direct touch heat pipe cooler
Asus p5Q main board
Ocz platinum 4 gig 800mhz
Corsair vx550 watts with 41 amps on rail
MSI GTX260 ocv3 896 OC
Great Card.
- Pros: Runs very cool and quiet.
Makes the games look just amazing.
- Cons: Not huge deal to me but thing is Long had to move HDDs to lower bay to make it fit.
P180 Antec Case.
- Other Thoughts: I love the cooler design that was one of the main reason I got this card in the 1st place.

MSI #1
- Pros: Great card, well designed cooling, fans don't work as hard so you get lower temp but less noise. You get what you pay for, I'm happy I spent extra $20 more on this and got a more faster card and more quieter
- Cons: NO LED'S
A couple of LED's inside the heat-sink point at the fans and giving them a nice glow would be very nice touch, I'm gonna do something like that and post some pics online, I'm hashiriya415 at overclock.net forum
- Other Thoughts: This is the best card out there for your money
Gets er dun
- Pros: Thus far, no problems. Drivers installed flawlessly on Win 7, card has bumped up the graphics on my games incredibly.
- Cons: Fairly lengthy card, make sure your case isn't tiny. Also, this card is noisy. Fans sound like they are whining most of the time.
- Other Thoughts: Great card for the money. Very powerful, but a bit noisy. All it all, I'd recommend it.
Great Graphics
- Pros: Quiet and fast
- Cons: None.
