XFX GX260NADFF GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Basically paried this up with an AMD X4 940 cpu, GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P and I've killed any game on the market.

At 1680 by 1050 resolution I play TF2, Creed, Fear 2, Grid and COD 5 at 100 frames per second on maxed out settings. (by maxed out I mean even antialising)

More demanding games like Far Cry 2 still at 1680 by 1050 plays at 40+ frames on maxed out settings and it looks so amazing. (especially the sunsets & explosions)

Cons: Most people might find it a con that this card is so long (10.5 inches long). But what is silly about this is that 95% of all graphic cards out on the market are long/huge. So personally I don't find this a con at all.

Overall Review: I currently have this card in a normal case and I'd have to say it runs rather toasty. What I do is use riviatuner to set the fan on the card to 70% while I'm gaming. What this card really deserves is a gaming case and that is what I plan on getting. Another small thing I'd like to note is that the cooler on this card is very impressive. I've seen the cooler on a XFX 9800GT, PNY 8800GTS, EVGA 9800GTX+ and none were as hefty or impressive as on this card. Basically get this card it will be more than enough for your gaming needs and I'd even call it overkill. But as a gamer I like overkill. :)

Pros: wouldn't know haven't gotten the proper card yet

Cons: I ordered the GX-260N-ADDF from newegg and received it promptly. When it arrived it was well packaged but the fan was broken(other reviewers have had this issue as well). I sent it back to xfx the following morning for and RMA. It took 2.5 weeks for the new card to get here. When the new card arrived it had order code GX-260N-ADDU which is a 65nm 192 core GTX 260. Since RMA's come with just the card and no box, I don't know if it was a mistake or if they thought I wouldn't notice. I have contacted customer support again and am waiting for a reponse. It is excusable to get a 65 nm card when expecting a 55nm card especially since that is not one the features they advertise about the card. But to receive a core 192 instead of a core 216 when it says 216 stream processors on the box is unscrupulous.

Overall Review: I guess I should have RMA'd through newegg. Would have gotten the correct card at least. The reason I didn't was because it wasn't really newegg's fault(packaging was good).

Unless xfx's response is to rush ship the proper card and pay for shipping back of the wrong one, I'll be going back to EVGA
