    nVIDIA GTX 260 Worth Buying?

    If you haven't bought the cards already i think i can help you. Me and my friend were testing GTX 260 / 275 / 460 and HD 5770 ( he has 275 and 460, I have 260 and we borrowed HD 5770 ). Te tests were quite interesting. GTX 460 is very on same line with GTX 275 and GTX 260 OC ( 650/1400/2000 )...

    I flashed my bios and raised voltage up to 1.18 and on 740/1530/2140 it was stable for ~5 hours in games on GPU load about 90-100% and passed 3D Mark Vantage...Tomorrow i'll try to raise the core up to 750 Mhz. :toast:

    *GTX 260/280 Unofficial TPU! Thread*

    I can't see a reason of replacing GTX 260 with GTX 275. My friend had 275 OC and we made a comparision test between GTX 260 OC and the biggest difference was in Metro 2033 about 5 frames, everything else between 2-3 frames in some games, like Dirt 2 or Shift , even GTX 260 holds better...

    Thank you guys for answers though I have one more question. How is that clocked GTX 260 ( 725/1520/1071 ) compared to HD 5850 in terms of gaming performance, not benchmarks. Is it weaker a lot or they can be compared?

    Ok, then there is nothing to do about overclock, but I'm wondering what is the most important parameter for overclocking. I play games on full HD and will I get better performance by overclocking Core or Shader or Memory

    It is a 55 nm version, and I saw clocks on the internet which were pretty high, 700 Core and 1200 memory with that same card, but I'm not able to achieve that with my card.

    Hello guys. I'm new at the forum and I'm having a little problem with overclocking my Gigabyte GTX 260 ( this model ). It only goes on 725/1520/1071. Everything beyond that results in crashing in games or benchmarks. I'm wondering is there any bios or some modification which will allow me to...
