Hardware Canucks have posted a review of the EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 55nm Superclocked Edition graphics card.

Let's see what they had to say:

"All in all, if you have bought a GTX 260 with 216 SPs, you have nothing to fear considering the 55nm version doesn’t give you any tangible benefits. With prices of the 65nm GTX 260 cards falling through the floor, the card reviewed here today probably isn’t too appealing at this juncture but it shouldn’t be written off too quickly. It occupies the tough position of a transitionary product that some (myself included) were hoping would bring better overclocking and lower power consumption to the table. These hopes weren’t fully borne out and that comes as a disappointment. It is as plain and simple as that."


To summarize, it appears that the new 55nm model does not provide any substantial benefits over its 65nm brethren, so if you can find the latter on discount, buy it.
