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: Very fast card, excellent deal at one sixty-nine after rebate. It takes care of most games with ease, even at my native 1900x1200 resolution. Quiet even when pushed. Vents hot air directly out of the case.

Cons: As many others have noted, the card is large, and you would be smart to make sure it fits in your case as is. My case has just enough room without having to take out the hard disk cage.

Overall Review: There seems to be some disagreement in these reviews about the die size, so I thought I'd throw in my findings. I ordered this card on 3/10, received it on 3/12, and I got the 55nm chip, as verified by GPUz and a visual inspection of the (missing) bracket on the backside of the card. Also, only version 0.3.2 or later of GPUz will properly detect it as 55nm. Additionally, newegg's specs currently list it as needing two 6-pin connectors under "Power Connectors" and needing a 6-pin and an 8-pin under "System Requirements". The correct spec is two 6-pin connectors.

Pros: Solid, easy to install, what I expected. Liked XFX's packaging, study box, nifty design.

Cons: Heavy as a mother, long as my wiener-dog.

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

Pros: Runs most games at max setting or close to. Included FarCry 2 in the box. This card provides the most bang for the buck the most recent price drop. I'm using it with an Antec Sonota III case with the stock 500w psu and I haven't had a problem.

Cons: None

Overall Review: The card is about 2-3 times larger than the 7900GT it's replacing. I mainly wanted to write this review because just after purchasing this card I read a reviewers comment in which he stated that the card was the 65nm and not the 55nm this gave me a little buyers remorse and I thought that I should have paid and extra $10.00 and got the equivalent EVGA card. I ran GPU-Z after installing the card and it reads as a 55nm! I'm not sure if there are more than one batch being made of this card but I was very pleased to have purchased this card.

Pros: -Core 216 -55 nm -Very good performance on Folding@Home, really outperforms ATI/AMD cards in the same price segment. -Great game performance. -Free Far Cry 2 Game Included.

Cons: -Card squeal. This is inherently the result of Nvidia's design. (under load, certain electronic components can make a squealing/beeping type of noise. Not due to power supply) -Cost/Performance ratio in games not as good. as some ATI/AMD cards.

Overall Review: This is an excellent all-around card. It runs games very well and Folding@home very well also. However, ATI/AMD's cards are cheaper and perform better in games. Contrary to rumors, this card is actually a 55 nm and a core 216. Apparently XFX still lists this card as 192 cores and 65 nm and tell people this, but they are wrong. Newegg's description is correct. It is a core 216 and a 55 nm card. You can tell either through gpu-z or from the fact there is no backplate.

Pros: This card is huge the only thing is that just make sure your case can fit it AMAZING GRAPHICS can run FarCry 2 on full graphics no problem.

Cons: Cards big but welll worth it.

Pros: Great colors. Crysis, Far Cry 2, Bioshock all look great with the settings turned up. Frame rate for the Lost Planet test averages to 60 fps with settings turned up using DX10. Color, resolution, and speed.

Cons: Huge!!!! I have a big case, but I still had to wiggle this puppy in. Reminds me of my old Intergraph Card with 3dfx chips. Best used in cases where the HD cage is turned sideways. Other wise, plan on moving some stuff around to make this card fit. Case temps also hit about 115 F when playing. My 8800 only ran about 95F.

Overall Review: Cost of ownership is superb. I used to buy the 3-400 dollar cards. With current games, this card is more powerful, therefore a more expensive card will not do you much good.
