The PWM fan created for both fans can adjust the fan speed depending on the GPU’s temperature allowing the GTX260 Sonic 216SP to run quietly.

I dont like the name. I would prefer a card called "SONIC, NO SONIC", ie. silent.

Very nice looking card... like the Revolution 700 Deluxe (AtI HD4870X2) but instead of 3 slot cooler design it's a 2 slot... NICE

I thought a lot more people will be happy to know NVIDIA lifted restrictions over AICPs to come up with custom-design cards for GTX 260 (55nm).

This time they made it right and not like with the Gainward 4870 cards that have one smaller cooler going full speed all the time.
