GeForce GTX 260 review Roughly a week ago NVIDIA launched their GeForce GTX 200 series of products. We already published three separate articles on the GeForce GTX 280, but I figured it's time to have a look at the little brother of the 280, the GeForce GTX 260. A product that is priced much more aggressively than it's bigger brother at 399 USD.

Quite honestly it's the same GTX 280 GPU that amounts up-to 1400 million transistors. yet internally some computer power lovin' has been disabled.

But for that price cut you do need to realize, roughly 20-25% overall performance has been stripped away. Yet that still makes it a near flagship performing graphics card.

Today we'll look at such a GeForce GTX 260 from NVIDIA's board partner, Point of View. They will unleash this product onto the market at a suggested 319 EUR (399 USD) sales price and bundle it with a hot gaming title.

Obviously we'll have a chat about the differences between the GTX 260 and 280, strip her nekked and show you some photo's, but then it's time for the real deal. Gaming testing performance with the hottest gaming titles, some overclocking .. and our verdict.

Let's fire her up ..

MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming review
Let's review the MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gamer edition. This more affordable version of the GTX 770 might be stock clocked but is armed with military class components, an awesome TwinFrozr cooler that is very silent and keeps this GPU chilled down at a cool 70 Degrees C temperature.

ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC review
We test and review the ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II review edition. The graphics card comes with a factory overclock and an updated DirectCU II cooler that has CoolTech fans. That would be two silent 90mm fans.

MSI GeForce GTX 770 Lightning review
In this review we benchmark the MSI GeForce GTX 770 Lightning edition. Armed with military class components, an awesome TwinFrozr cooler that is very silent and keeps this GPU chilled down at a cool 60 Degrees C temperature. Next to that is has voltage monitoring points, a reactor core, a secondary BIOS as backup and liquid cooling and well, just so much more. Have a peek at what might be one of the finest GeForce GTX 770 cards available on the market.

EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SC review
In this review we peek at the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SC (SuperClocked) edition. This model graphics card comes with a factory overclock and the new ACX cooler. Overall the card is sitting in-between the GeForce GTX 680 and GeForce GTX 780 , with its 1111 MHz core clock frequency. We take the latest games and do some FCAT testing as well.
