XFX GeForce GTX 260 DirectX 10 GX260XADJC 896MB 448-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: This card was great. It installed easily, looked amazing, and did not stop to smell the flowers in games. It ripped up my graphics like a beast taking no prisoners whatsoever. This was the first time I upgraded my graphics card in YEARS. I was limping along in today's world on a GeForce 7800 GS. YES, A 7800. Then I upgraded to this thing and it was like injecting 20 gallons of steroid substance into a top athlete. Nothing could stop this MONSTER!

Cons: I thought nothing could stop this beast but suddenly after the first week, it popped and turned off my rig. I wondered what the heck was going on, so I turned it back on. Same thing. It did this about 3 more times and then finally it went POP and SPARKS AND FLAMES FLEW OUT OF THE FAN INTAKE HOLE. Smoke started to fill the room so I YANKED IT OUT and turned off the system. This bad boy was SO BAD, that it pulled an underwear bomb incident in my case! Luckily, there was no explosion and I managed to rip it out before it did damage to other components.

Overall Review: It was good while it lasted. I had to get a new card from a different vendor. Nothing against XFX. I still support them always but this one time, their card totally fizzed out on me.

Pros: this thing is a beast and its cheap too. plays all the games out there in max settings. 120+ fps on source. need for speed shift maxed out no lag, looks sweet.

Cons: none, the temperature and size people always complain about arent cons.. their cases just suck.

Overall Review: raidmax smilodon - fits the card no problem. intel core 2 quad q8400 2.6ghz 4gb ocz ddr2 800mhz sli edition xfx 750i sli mobo 600w ultra x3 power supply

Pros: Very high fps in older games and makes all the precision of aiming and moving the mouse with fast response time with the 448 bit rate ive only owned a 256 bit rate card this one is sure to be a killer in the older games online and the newer ones this will be very smooth with fps high and accuracy on point. this card does requier a 600 watt psu with the 2 power cords going in to the psu for enhanced pci-e card like the XFX GTX 260 any card with more then 256 bit rate should have 2 separate power cords going in to the psu or you will kill the performance of your card and burns it out fast.

Cons: No Image sharpening, card over heats to 110 degrees but still performs well. This is a good card high prices because the new GTX 300's are comming out soon if not out already.

Overall Review: Best video card I ever owned I've owned alot of cards. TNT2 M64 AGP, G2 MX 400, G3 Ti 200 - 500, G4 MX 400, 440, Ti 4200, 4400, 4600, 4800, FX 5200, 5600, 5700 Ultra, 5900, G6800 Ultra AGP, G7600 512 AGP, G7900 GS G7900 AGP, G7950 GT PCI-e, G8600 GT, G9600 GSO 1.5 GB, Now GTX 260. Thiscard is by far the best one ever.

Pros: Worked perfectly right out of the box. A lot quieter than I expected.

Cons: A monster of a card. Make sure you have the room. It is about 11 inches.

Overall Review: Matches my AMD Phenom II X4 955 w/1280x1024 resolution to play Bad Company 2 on high settings. Medium for Multiplayer though, frame rates over beauty.

Pros: This card looks great, works better. Running 1680x1050 res getting 90 FPS in MW2 and Dragon Age with maxed out settings. Also runs BC2 well but around 60 fps.

Cons: None whatsover.

Overall Review: This is Core 216, 55nm. Taken from GPUZ. PC Specs: i5 750 @ 3.33ghz 4Gb DDR3 1600 This card

Pros: Paired with a 955 BE and 4gb Runs anything i throw at it flawlessly. DragonAge, CoD4, WoW, all run on maximum settings without a hiccup. Great Card at a competitive price.

Cons: BIG.

Overall Review: This card fit in my standard case by a matter of centimeters. Had to zip tie some cabling to get it in there right. Probably more due to my case, but be forewarned. Running 2 of these(why?) might be an issue without a specific mobo. Best check clearances on your mobo/case before trying to run 2. also requires 2 aux power hookups. most new PS's should be fine with this

Pros: XFX Makes VERY nice cards. Like some of the other hardware in my PC it's a shame i have to hide it in my case. I was using a 9400GT 1GB for COD4, Fallout 3, ect, and it did the job, But The GTX 260 just PWNs those games. i get 100+ FPS in COD4, Plays Mirror's Edge Flawlessly on "Highest" Setting (A VERY! Demanding Game). dxdiag Shows "Approx. Total Memory: 2291 MB"; Under Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP1 The minimum Requirment Lists a 550W PSU or greater. I am using a 500W PSU W/ one 6-pin and one 4-pin to 6-pin cable, and a Pentium Dual-Core E5300. I'm not saying they should change it, i just got lucky and fell under the requirment and have had ZERO power problems. I am gonna upgrade to a 600W, always wanna be safe about having enough power.

Cons: Runs a bit hot, About 70c under load. However the fan can be adjusted Via Programs (In Other Thoughts) and cools its down pretty good. Idle this is just as cool as my 9400GT: GPU: 41c | FAN: 50% | PCB: 35c Playing Mirror's Edge (Most Demanding in terms of: Bad port, High Physics, Big Worlds, Fast Draw speed) i hit: GPU: 56c | FAN: 50% | PCB: 38c

Overall Review: It's an excellent card, sure its the "Core" edition, But the others are the SAME card just different clock speeds (Which can be easly changed). Even says so on the dang box. EVGA Precision 1.7.1 is what i use to monitor and adjust the settings. The fan speed can be changed by this program, and also do some overclocking ;) GPU-Z is also good for temp monitoring if you don't have the luxury of the G15 Keyboard :)

Pros: Very nice card. Runs almost anything I can throw at it. Ran Crysis on high. Choked on Shattered Horizon, but was to be expected. Running it on a 550 watt power supply with a

Cons: None

Overall Review: Runs quite hot compared to other cards that I'm used to. ~74C when playing Crysis or Left 4 Dead 2. Did some research to determine it's safe up to 105C at the very most.
