The GPU is not only is only making graphics look better, but also playing big roles in other high performance applications.
Introducing the Force GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition. The Core 216 refers to the 216 shader processors in the GPU which is 24 shader processors more than the regular GTX 260 (192 Cores). 8 texture address units and 8 texture filtering units were added so that Nvida's CUDA, PhysX and PureVideo HD technologies will do create more fps. Last but not the least, EVGA set the GPU clock at 626Mhz and the memory clock at 2106 MHz making this high-mid-end graphic card an unbeatable value.
