5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly fast, but watch out for length, March 18, 2009

By	Edgardo Pichardo "Boomz" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Truly fast! Has 2x6pin PCIe connectors for power, so check you power supply specs before buying. Also check you board's ports positions. Card is very long and may block access to some SATA, IDE or sound ports on your motherboard if they are too close to the PCIe slot where the card is connected. Great product!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing value & performance, February 4, 2009

By	Xabier Granja (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This gt260 is truly great. I am running every new & relevant game out in the market in my 40 inch tv @ 1920x1080p resolution, and everything is silky smooth. The only problem is with Crysis, only playable @ 1280x720p, but that's the game's problem, the gt260 is absolutely awesome.

I've been in gaming/pc/consoles for 15 years now, trust me, the gt260 beats the 280/285/290 in value-price, value-performance and value-power consumption. If you've got more cash, go for the higher ones, it can't hurt, but if 250 bucks is a high price for you like it was for me, have no doubt spending the money, you will not regret it!!

This card is within a few % of the performance of the gtx 280 for a third less $. Very good bang for the buck. I run Fallout 3 at 1280x960 4x AA and 15x AF on ultra settings and rarely dip under 60 fps. The cooler is quiet and does a good job of keeping temps down for a stock cooler. [..] shipped fairly quickly and for a fair price. I'm happy :)
