I spotted a couple of minor spelling errors. On the noise level page, 'Broadcast sstudio', and on the Thief page, 'Cery High Image Quality'.

"R7 260X is fitted with a Curacao XT core"... shouldn't that be the "Bonaire XTX".
Was a little startled when the charts this didn't match a reference R7 260X, but then I figured it out; this is only 1Ghz core 5000 MHz effective memory (more the 7790 spec though it's an 85W TDP part), not the reference spec 1100 MHz (1.1Ghz) core / 6500 MHz effective. I think it would be evenhanded to explain this is way less than the reference card spec's, while you might consider better indicating this is their 2Gb (I only figured it out from the box pic) model H260XFN2GD, as they have also have it in 1Gb as H260XFN1GD.
It would been fun to do a quick OC from within HIS iTurbo Overclocking software, as it's not to un-common for such Bonaire cores to offer 1200Mhz and some extra memory of say 6400 Mhz. The cooler work so great that there's no problem with heat. That's when this cards low entry cost makes available some nice BfB.

I wonder if this thing is OC-able, since it only gets to 60 degrees.
that could possibly give it that extra punch it's now lacking.
