Gigabyte GTX 260 Super Overclock Review - PAGE 1

Today we'll be taking a look at the GTX 260 Super Overclock, from Gigabyte.

Since from almost the very beginning, Nvidia's GTX 260 has been an attractive candidate for overclocking. Especially once Nvidia raised the shader core count from 192 to 216 (to better battle ATI's HD 4870), overclocked GTX 260's have been a regular fixture in conversations on maximizing gaming performance for the best prices. Some heavily overclocked GTX 260's have really pushed the threshold of the performance you'd expect from the mid-range video card -- even at times encroaching into GTX 280 territory.

Gigabyte has sent us their latest: this Super Overclock version of the GTX 260. We intend to find out if the "Super" is a superlative or not. The video card market is crowded with all sorts of nice cards -- so let us see if this baby has enough of an overclock to keep pace with the competition.
