Dear All

below is brief introduction of my today's purchase,

My goal is not to show performance of this card, as many members have this card and they submitted its benchmarks,

i want to guide people who might be interesting in getting this card, as it was out of stock for a few weeks,

EVGA Part number written on the box and VGA is 896-P3-1255-AR, which corresponds to 576/1998 clocks and 111.9 GB/s memory Bandwidth,

However, after installing the card, i have discovered that its clocks are 626/2106 with 117.9 GB/s B.W., which corresponds to Superclocked model of this card, whose part number is 896-P3-1257-AR.

this is very interesting thing and i attached pictures of EVGA web pages of these cards,

i don't know whether it would be true for all EVGA GTX 260 available on galaxy or not, galaxy has not put web link of this card,

XFX GTX 260 is 1300/- more than EVGA, and its clocks are 680/2000,

Congrats on your purchase. Overclock it more you can break 13k in Vantage easily. I think I got about 12.8k with my E8400.

But the resolution of the gaming benchmarks is disappointing. I hope you can re-run them on a higher resolution which will do the card some justice.

yes, i had used 4870, however with new games and especially due to physx, it is time to switch to nvidia, although i am ATI fan

yes, it was, however that card cannot be overclocked except a few MHz above your mentioned clocks, while EVGA card can reach easily to these clocks

thanks Zeshan bhai, it is long time i sold xfx gtx260,

however i feel that temperatures of EVGA version are lower and it is better overclocker,

For memory clock, xfx version did not reach 2400 mhz stable, but this one has reached 2500 mhz and 700 mhz core and i have checked 3dmark2006, however benchmark result is almost same, due to 3.6 ghz processor speed,

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
