I think I may just have to grab me a 260, WAR makes my 8800GTS 640 cry. Especially at the prices some of these cards are going for.
As for STALKER, did you guys apply the patch yet? There were some major changes that may help performance.
Brent, Sorry about the confusion this may or will create, but the GTX 260 MAXCORE product from us does in fact feature a GPU made using 65nm process technology. No D10U GPU to date has been 55nm.
Regarding Die Size: Just got an email from the Associate Product Manager at BFGTech:
So twice they said it was 55nm, and now it apparently really is 65nm. I will update the evaluation.
Hehe, figures. Oh well, I'll take my foot out of my mouth now, you were right on this one Stoly.
yeah I was about to say that I thought even Nvidia said these 216SP cards would be 65nm. all you had to do was look at the core. this is my favorite site but you guys are really slacking lately.Regarding Die Size: Just got an email from the Associate Product Manager at BFGTech:

That leaked slide made it pretty clear that the new core aka GT206 wouldn't hit before October.
I'm wondering why they're bothering to replace the 260 with something which could be replaced a month later itself?
Would be interested in seeing some numbers on power consumption and heat. That might be an additional thing to tip the scales to get me to buy one of the newer GTX260s - otherwise, I'm all for the cheap one.
but this isnt a die shrink. its still 65nm.I agree with this - power consumption, especially idle power consuption, along with heat generation are important for me. This is even more relevant when the main change is a die shrink.
but this isnt a die shrink. its still 65nm.
page 4 and people still haven't gotten it.
gotten what? its 65nm...page 4 and people still haven't gotten it.
I imagine it's more that they're willing to do anything to flip off ATI, while also reviewing and/or tweaking their product line, and if that means busting out an incremental refresh that skews ever closer to the 280 in performance and renders it near-pointless (or once the factory-overclocked SSC XXX FTW OMGWTFBBQ editions hit...completely pointless) they're down for it.Seriously has Nvidia so given up on the GTX 280 that they release a product that relegates it to pure e-peen category and nothing else?
OMGWTFBBQ
lmao!
Dude guys...its not worth it...30% the price for 5% gain...commmon you can get a damn GTX260 for 210AR, and overclock it to OMGWTFBBQ edition....
The review [H] did sucks....reviewing an overclocked card to a stock card doesnt tell me shit, plus they said it was 65nm.....If something as simlpe as a GPU-Z telling me that isnt true...then i can't really trust their benches
honestly
I don't think anybody's disputing the price point, Dethman. It's an incremental refresh--and the first refresh to boot; what were you expecting?
My apologies stoly.
