- Pros: Very fast, can run any game at max graphics, dual-screen (where supported). Very impressed with the graphics.
- Cons: Heat! The card would overheat to the point where it would force emergency shutdowns on my PC. The Nvidia 200 series cards are known to run quite hot, but BFG's cooler is not adequate. Furthermore, BFG refuses to acknowledge the heating problems.
- Other Thoughts: I rma'd my card to BFG and they sent me back one where the memory clock was halved, which I was not happy about, but it was still overheating. The great part is that since BFG swapped the card and the serial number no longer matches, newegg can't take it back either. I'm just out $300. Buyers beware...
- Pros: Performance is amazing. It runs every game with ease. BFG warranty. Crysis runs on high without a so much as a hiccup. 3 way SLI.
- Cons: Need a system that takes advantage of the PCI-E 2.0 slots. runs hot with 3 because of close proximity.
- Other Thoughts: Core i7 920 @ 4.2, EVGA x58 mobo, corsair tri-channel 6gb, cooler master v8, zalman 850w psu, Antec 900 case, 300gb raptor, 3x BFG 260 GTX
- Pros: An excellent card with lots of power. It handles everything I throw at it with ease. The upgrade from dual 7600 GT's is a huge boost. It comes with a dvi-hdmi converter and the ability to run sound to the hdmi, which is a nice bonus.
- Cons: The card is huge, and understandably somewhat hot.
- Other Thoughts: It greatly highlights my system's memory and cpu bottlenecks, which didn't stand out so fiercely before. Additionally my case's airflow isn't quite sufficient to cool this card. So, I'm now planning a new computer around this card to eliminate those issues.
