Hello people.
We have a treat for you today. We are taking a look at the XFX Geforce GTX 260. It’s one of the two GT200 series cards recently launched by NVIDIA. It’s a cheaper of the two GT200 cards and is going head to head against ATI’s Radeon HD4870 in the market today.
This is very significant to enthusiast market. NVIDIA has a long history of releasing a card that is almost as good as their flagship card but one that costs significantly less. The GT was that card in the past. This time around NVIDIA has decided to drop their usual naming, and went in for different naming scheme. They had ran out of the 4 digit numbers anyway with their 9800 series
So this slightly scaled down version is now called GTX 260, a slightly crippled version of the big brother GTX 280.
Today we are going to put this card through some vigorous game testing and IQ testing as well. So lets have a look.
