Just purchased another one of these for Sli, They have been handling every game I throw at them just fine, $189 is the cheapest I seen this card going for over the past few months. Great Value, Excellent card although it is missing Direct X 11 support, but your not missing much with that. |

Works beautifully. Computer was sporadically 'locking up' while gaming with the previous video card. I have not had that problem since we replaced it with this one. |

Since installing this card into my custom build computer it has been purring like a kity. All my games are maxed out and the images are flawless. Compared to my previous card GeForce 8500GT which was great this card just put it away. I waited for the price to come down and at this price it's a steal. I works very well with Photoshop CS5 and enables me to really get into the fine details. This is a great purchase! |

I looked through many reviews and video cards before choosing this one. To me (not being a gamer) it had the right mix of performance and price. Right now it does a great job in my system. Things are quick and perky and the card is quiet. However, it was difficult to get the card to work with my custom system. When I first built the system and put in the card, Windows 7 refused to boot and gave a blue screen error. I tried many things but could not get it to work. Finally, an old video card got me up and running. BFG tech support is great and after a few calls, they RMA'd it. When I got the new card it worked flawlessly. I'm happy now after a rocky start. |

For the price you pay, you get outstading performance. I'm running this card with an i5-750, playing all of my games on max settings no problem. It's really one of the best bang for your buck video cards you can get. |

I waited until the price of this next-gen video card came down. It runs all of the games I have at very high settings at 1600x1200. It was easy to install and get going with a driver update. I'm very happy with the card. |

This card is real good for the money, although theres the 4890, which is only 20 bucks more. i prefer nvidia over radeon, ever since my 8800gt. this baby will run anything u throw at it, provided that u put it into a proper motherboard and give it the power it needs. It pretty much ripped though crysis on max settings, not to mention the rest of the games out there. the stock cooling keeps it at decent temperatures and it looks great inside. simply put this is a solid gaming card |

What can i say, Good price, card works great, i can play now all my games at full settings with no lags, it runs great, also it is very quiet, but it HUGE, it barely fits on my NZXT Guardian 921, i had to redo the cable management, but it totally worth it. I Love This Card. |

I have bought this to replace a 8800 ultra, and must say I am very very happy with my purchase. Pro: - The lifetime waranty was easy to register for. - The card itself runs every game i own with max settings. - With stock voltage and no OC experience, I got another 15% extra perfromance from OCing. - Using 2 screens and physX works perfectly. Also going to grab a 3d vision kit as this card supports it well. Cons: - The card is HUGE, no problem here since i got a full tower but better be careful. - The fan runs pretty slow, should not burn but i recommend up'ing the speed. |

Graphics is awesome and surprisingly very quiet. Just remember it is one 'big' azz card so better make some room. I had to remove one of my cable routing pegs and re-route some of my cables to get this mofo to fit. I've only been running it for a few days so I hope i don't have to make changes to my review.This site is still awesome on fast shipping and with the 'free shipping' offers I am coming back to do more business with them. Thanks |

I got these when they were on promo for 2 them. It was a great deal, I am not using them for gaming, they are strictly for my folding at home box. They are crunching numbers way faster then my older cards were. I could not be more pleased with the fast service I received from here. |

This card goes above and beyond expectations with any video card in it's class and manufactures warranty only icing. Would reccomend to anyone. I wish I had two! Good job all involved!! |

I just upgraded to a quad core system and wanted a decent card. I couldn't afford to get a really high end so I started looking at the GTX 260. The specs looked good and then they ran a great sale on them so I had to get it. I had had problems running Call of Duty World at War on my old system but it runs perfectly now. I'm also playing Modern Warfare 2 and Fallout 3 with no problems at all. I love the card and I love this company |

Where do i start. This card rocks, im running it by it self right now but plan to run it sli real soon. Its a big card so make sure you have room in your case to fit it. I highly recomend this card. |

Well for starters i had put it into my cart when it was $20 cheaper and when i checked out the sale had ended the day b4 which i didnt notice cause i bought a bunch of stuff all together. so my fault but if the price goes up after its in ur cart they should give u a message or something. also the card itself was slightly bowed away from the fan and heatsink part. theres a nice little gap in the middle like one of the screws isnt fully holding but i checked them and theyre fine. also and this is partly my fault as well, but this thing runs hotter than my sli'ed 9600 gt's. had to take off my side panel and blow my house fan onto the card cuz it started to jaggie and artifact after a bout 20 mins of BC2. so i had to go get a case with more fans or mod my current case. but i should expected it to run hotter is guess, despite the fact that other reivews say it runs cool. but well see how a 5 fan case runs it. |

This card was the only thing in my mind when building my all new rig and it is a monster of a card. I have it overclocked even further and i do get about 10 fps more give or take on crysis, RE5 and such. The only reason i would buy this card is if you can afford a gtx 285... i mean the money vs performance is outstanding. I dont regret buying this card at all but i do wish i had the extra cash for a higher card. And i say that to warn everyone that this is a gateway drug and you will want to buy more nvidia products! Oh and im a max settings junky just fyi. |

Since I put this card in my new gaming rig I can't stop saying enough good things about it. It runs Quiet, Cool, and Stable no matter what graphic intense game I throw at it. At the time I purchased the card it was the only GTX260 for under $200.00 |

i dont know about you people saying its expensive but if you were to walk into a store and buy one it would almost come out to 280 buks with tax here there is none and this 260 gtx scores 3000 points higher on 3dmark and 4500 points higher than a 9800 gt it gives me wonderfull frames in live fps and COD and crysis in crysis maxed out at 1650x1080 and high setttings it managed 30 frames thats great considering 2 gx2's get 45 |

Definately the best performing card I've owned. Can't wait to pair it up with another. Excelent for blue ray playback with winDVD. even plays BD-J. Don't buy Power DVD. It does not work with BD-J discs. Game performance will blow your mind. I set it up with a Pentium I5 750, MSI motherboard, and 4 GIG of ram. |
I have to say, that when this bad boy arrived along with my awesome psu, I was shocked to see the size of the card. I was saying to myself: I dont think that this would fit in my mid atx case. It did. I had to remove an extra hard drive I no longer needed. Didnt even need the extra molex connector it came with. My power supply already had 2 6 pin connectors. Coupled with my quad system, I can now finally play Crysis and Crysis Warhead on high settings, heck, even on very high settings. Im buying again.
