BFG GeForce GTX 260 896MB Graphics Card Review


Mon 2008-07-28 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Hardware Canucks has posted a review of the BFG GeForce GTX 260 896MB graphics card.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Unfortunately, while it is a great performer the GTX 260 still seems to be partially handicapped by its price. On average it retails for a good 10-20% more (before those pesky mail in rebates) than the competing HD4870 while in some cases offering quite a bit less performance. Then there is the small issue with the AA performance of this card in some games when compared with the competition. Granted, The GTX 260 doesn’t get completely pistol whipped when AA is turned on but it does suffer quite a bit at the hands of the HD4870 in instances where it should be doing much better. ATI's AA implementation is just that much more efficient and that's that. There are other instances where it puts up a brave fight against the HD4870 but in others it is completely outclassed by its rival.”


In effect, if you can find the GTX 260 for a good price, it is definitely worth a long look, especially if it performs well in the particular games you enjoy.
