PNY XLR8 GTX 260

Strengths: performance, really nice design

Weakness: SOOOO BIG and power hungry, needs 2 power lines to feed that thing.

Finally I was able to play Crysis maxed on all settings without too much freeze and jerking. Framerates go up a bit from my 8800GTS SSC on 1920*1200 4xAA averaged 19.5FPS and now on same settings I get playable 27.7FPS. I have tried HD4870 but I did not like the heat output of ATI, although I might get by as the temperatures dropping down in my room and ATI could warm it up quite nicely :) Overal I have observed somewhat faster system responsiveness when not playing games, the internet browser windows when opening they pops up noticeably faster. I quess it has something to do with graphics rendering, it seems to me GPU is now bottlenecked by the DDR3 used on Geforce card, with DDR4 or DDR5 Im sure this card would scream way more than it does.
