kingdingeling Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Black PCB FTW! *drools all over laptop* Good stuff there Frank Now git 'r folding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 this may single handedly cause me to buy an nvidia again, it even beats the 280 when overclocked, what a beautiful card!!! I want one of these that's the best price for performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogel Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Yah no kidding - Think there was only two games where the 4870X2 demolished this card. Some games definitely favor Nvidia more and some definitely favor ATI more. Is this the first review of a 216 core 260 that OCC has done? If so, can future reviews distinguish it with 260/216 please?

ccokeman Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Thought I had that in the intro... goes to check..... yup got it there. The GTX280 it was beating on was an overclocked card , when you look at the performance against a stock GTX280 then you can see just how special this one is. When is this card coming out? Should be out now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekiM Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Should be out now. It's not on NewEgg -On another note, my EVGA Core 216 (Stock Edition) could only reach 724Mhz on the GPU core <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled everywhere and checked the xfx site for anything and I couldn't find it. I'm so glad you reviewed this, I was on the verge of getting the EVGA 260 GTX FTW, but since this is much cheaper and has slightly better performance I can't wait to find it and buy it! Go Christmas!

IVIYTH0S Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Yeah I can't find this anywhere, not one online retailer has them. Was this a limited edition that we missed out on or something?? I really want one of these! and XFX's website is horrible, they DO list two black editions but dont have any detailed specs on them, I wouldn't want to get stuck with a core 192 yuck! (and they also claim they are out in stores but they aren't) Edited November 6, 2008 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This review was perfect, just a humble request for upcomming reviews. And definitely agree, this is a beast of a card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
