896MB 448-bit GDDR3
PCI Express 2.0 x16

NVIDIA's 200 series of graphics cards combines cutting edge technology and advanced capabilities for best-in-class performance. The GTX260 is a balanced solution for all your graphic needs. It’s Microsoft Vista ready and equipped with a PCI-Express 2.0 interface. The GTX260 supports 3-way SLI to seriously crank your performance options by using up to three graphics cards for insane flow rates.

The card's core clock runs at 655MHz, relieving your CPU of pixel crunching duty. Data surges through the GTX260's 216 stream processors fed by 896MB of 448-bit 2100MHz GDDR3 memory. Twin dual-linked DVI and 400 MHz RAMDAC lets you display 2560 x 1600 resolution video and graphics on even the largest monitors. Support for DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1, NVIDIA's PureVideoHD, CUDA and PhysX-ready are built in to render even the most intense environmental effects or HD DVD video with brilliant clarity.

The GTX260 delivers fluid frame rates and HD video with solid performance. If your motherboard can take it, the GTX260 can dish it out.

Twin Frozr Thermal Design Multiple heatpipes, extra large heatsink and copper-nickel base maximize heat transfer and dissipation. Plus dual PWM fans effectively dissipate heat from the power module (MOSFET, Capacitors), memory and GPU for the best possible cooling performance.
NVIDIA PhysX-Ready With NVIDIA’s PhysX physics engine, the GeForce GTX260 creates the most compelling physical effects that mimic the real world, making your gaming experience a truly immersive one.
3-way NVIDIA SLI Technology By implementing 3-way AFR (Alternate Frame Rendering), 3-way NVIDIA SLI technology brings up to 2.8X performance increase over a single GPU configuration, taking extreme gaming to a whole new level.
NVIDIA CUDA Technology CUDA technology unlocks the processing power of the GeForce GTX260 to solve the most demanding computer-intensive tasks - such as video encoding - in a fraction of the time required on a CPU, so you can work and play at full speed.
NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technology The combination of high-definition video decoding acceleration and post-processing delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color and precise image scaling for all video content, especially movies.
HDCP Capable With integrated High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) support, this card allows playback of HD DVDs, Blu-ray Discs and other protected content at full HD resolutions.

i was nvidia fan 2/9/2013 3:48:41 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Very Good Card Pros: i got this card on 2010 and i was able to play BF3..... this is a real performance card, 448bit, 896 (more OC), Core Clock 655 (GTX480 core clock is 700).... Nvidia should keep makin card like this....i think series 600 are peace of c... 660 with 192bit, 670 with 256...new technology and runs better ? so? makes them with more CoreClock and more Bits and less heat. Cons: n/a Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 2/6/2013 5:10:43 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/53 years of heavy use, and still going strong Pros: Maybe I'm just not the gamer that my friends are, but I have yet to see any reason to replace this card. It worked the first time, and every time since. This card is a tank. It's another part of my system that I don't have to think about because it just works and performs, all the time. Cons: This card is so big and heavy, that it sags under it's own weight inside my tower. I decided to re-route the card's power cables so they'd come over the top of the motherboard, thereby not only providing power, but also providing the card with physical support. It works fine. I'd imagine more than half the weight of the card is the heatsink/heatpipe system. Other Thoughts: Built to last on a proven design. I'll be sad when I have to upgrade, but at least I can use it for home defense, as a bludgeon. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
TIPS 5/15/2012 8:25:58 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Crashing and Failing Pros: Was a good card...while it lasted Cons: Crashes and freezes up my system randomly. Emitting annoying buzzing sounds whenever under the slightest stress. Other Thoughts: I've had it for just over a year. Been failing for a few months now. Started right after warranty expired. Pretty upset and awed. You buy a junky HP computer and it lasts you for 5 years. A high-end MSI card...a year, if even, I don't get it. I don't stress it either. Be careful when picking up this card...

Thank you.” Best Regards, Customer Service/RMA Team Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
MountainHawkD 3/9/2012 4:32:03 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Solid Card Pros: This Card has def got its fair share of stuff I through at it over the years. From playing games and modeling and animating them. I would have to say for 2 years I have enjoyed having this card. To me it was solid I would play any game on max setting for 2 years. It was well worth the money and I was very satisfied. Cons: Just recently I have been getting issues like the screen would go black, but rarely. I am assuming because the card is finally giving out after having it for so long. Honestly the only disappoint of have had with it is that it doesn't support DirectX 11 and PhysX as good as I would like. Other Thoughts: Was a solid card and can still hold it self to a lot of today's games still. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Cadauctions31 12/29/2011 8:46:17 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Complete garbage!!!!! Pros: NONE!!!!!! This card runs very poorly compared to other cards in this price range! Cons: Had problems with it right out of the box, and have dealt with it for almost two years. I know it seems long, but I only use it for about half hour a week to play FSX, and anything else I have tried to play has been shutting off the monitor. Thought it was just a driver issue but today it died out of the blue! Other Thoughts: Stay away from MSI! They use garbage to put together their products!

JW 11/14/2011 5:03:35 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5Worked great for just over a year Pros: Card was able to run any game I threw at it with max graphics settings (WoW and SC2 in particular). Ran cool and quiet. Cons: Started having intermittent problems with it a few months ago. Recently having out of memory graphic card errors and causing games and movies to crash. Other Thoughts: Really disappointed that I'm having issues with this card right outside of the 1 year mark, however it worked great for the first year.

N/A 7/4/2011 2:40:45 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Excellent, when the card works Pros: Runs cool... (55-60C) Cons: Started using the card about eight months ago. Worked beautifully until about three months in. Since then, the card has started crashing more and more often. Now it crashes after couple minutes if it does anything heavy-duty. Be careful when buying.... Manufacturer Response: Dear Valued MSI Customer, We would like to apologize for the issue you have experienced with this particular VGA.

shmimey 12/3/2010 5:00:59 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5great card (change fan speed) Pros: I have and love this card. Cons: The factory settings on the fan speed are poor and even running the card as is from MSI it runs a little hot in my opinion. Very easy to fix also and MSI provides the tool needed. Still a great card and not a big deal please read on. Other Thoughts: Download Afterburner software from the MSI website. It is great software for overclocking. You should get this software even if you do not overclock. Use this to control the fan speed. You will not notice it running louder unless you turn it very high. Even a small adjustment to the speed will do lots for the card and keeping it cool. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
