EVGA GeForce GTX 260 SSC Ed. 896MB PCIe 2.0 card kicks a$$. definitely a huge card, make sure you have plenty of space in your case. also, my psu is only 500W (recommended minimum), so i need a big upgrade there as EVGA GeForce GTX 260 SSC Ed. 896MB PCIe 2.0 card eats up 4 of my 4-pin power connectors (with a better psu, it only needs 2 6-pin)! but no complaints about the card, just make sure you are equipped to handle the power haha

Amazing!! Upgraded from EVGA e-GeForce 8600 GTS SSC and what a difference. The '260' only cost $70 more than the '8600' due to the current Price War and resultant giveaway cost of all video cards. If you have the money to spend, it's a buyers market for all things computer.

Fast... 3 way SLI compatable... Plenty of memory... whats not to like? the only problems I found when using this card was it is power hungry when playing games and some problems with drivers but they are rare... make sure you have more than the 500W PSU it says you need... plan on buying another one and might even replace my mobo so i can have 3!

Awesome video card!! Plays UT3 and Far Cry 2 on ultra high no problem. Power hungry but my 450W power supply works great. The GPU fan is actually very quiet and will not bother you esp if you have a silent case. This card is BIG and i had some trouble fitting it into my case -- make sure you have room!

Cheaper than its big brother and I couldn't ask for better performance! Not so sure about the 'power hungry' statement..I'm running a 500W psu with a little less 12V current available than the spec. and this thing runs fast and cool..Crysis is no match for it on all high at 1280x1024! The fan is not too quiet and I had to move some SATA headers to fit it in..The Y adapters for power are nice if, like me, your psu only has one PCI-e power conn. winxpsp3,Idx38bt,IC2Q6700@3.3Gz,OCZDDR3-2G@1.3Gz RAID0/500G,Ultra mid twr. etc...Last word, BIG! If you can fit it, buy it!
