Galaxy KFA2 Geforce GTX 260+ Video Card

[catnipkiller]

my bfg 260 ran @ 790 core clock with a better air cooler

[luimp3]

men Nvidia use CUDA Processor. Ati use Steam processor

[mrRocstar96]

this or GTS 450?

[AeroFix94]

@mrRocstar96 GTX 260.

[MotionPicturesHDTV]

yeah i have this 2x :D

[gamingguy1995]

i love galaxy! 

[Licardo7]

this is probably their most detailed video card review they have done lolz.

[djxiong94]

hey i just want to ask if i got a 16x motherboard does that 260gtx galaxy fit in my motherboard

[airplaneman121]

i think they changed there name because kfa2 sounds gay

[vasyajx]

2 pci expansion sluts=))

[airplaneman121]

lol

[kipdokken]

got a question guys, if i gonna put a gtx 260 oc and 1 9800gt with six pin as my physx, how much power do i need? is 550w enough? thanks

[thereddog223]

Id upgrade to something better.

[frazzer316]

will AXP 500W Version 2.20 Power Supply run this?? but the xfx version

[groberti]

@frazzer316 AXP is not a quality brand.

[EldarGTX260]

@frazzer316 i have axp 500w and run gigabyte gtx 260 oc easily

[FrozenThronePL]

Corsair 450W CMPSU-450VXEU can handle this card easily.

[MrNicoer]

you need 480 w or higher

[AxyoN100]

i think you need a 550 Watt powersupply to run this

[thereddog223]

You can get by with 500.

[willis2k9]

how much power u need to run this

[rlu006]

can a Packard bell iPower x2.0 run this?? please respod

[Lefterakiss]

yes!

[slash4217]

i really would like to buy this card but i think the galaxy 280 gtx is worth the money too. but i cant find where i can buy either of the. can someone post an address so that i can look into getting them

[Ma2DaEL]

not much diffrence between the GTX280 and a GTX260 216SP. 4 ~ 6 FPS faster for like more cash? IMO id rather get a GTX260 216SP and save more cash

[SpammyProductions]

Make it 216x 2 or even Triple SLi that, price for a 295 or less, to gain performance close to 295.

[saneroner]

have you encounter the error message that reads "the nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers" i havent been able to add a video card to my computer becasue i get this message when installing the drivers. i have the asus cm5570-ap002

[rumblemon]

When i play GTA IV with my gtx 260+ Stock the temperature gets 70-74 C is that normal?????? and how hot can this card get without burn up???

[ProjectRealityBf2]

the cards core can easily hit 80+ C, the memory temps is what you really got to watch out for over 60 C is bad!

[uut0]

is this 1 of the pcbs on the 295gtx the specs are half the 295gtx if im right

[dinogame]

what psu will be able to support this graphics card

[maxnanabas09]

550 true rated will do just make sure it is 80+ bronze certified

[nobodypersonsomeone]

It only needs 1 PCE-E slot, but it takes up the space of two, because its so big.

[VLAMusi]

I have Nvidia GeForce GTx260+ OC,but I have 3 coolers on it and 4 heat sinks and is awsome I recomend it!

[Vo0Do0972]

I didnt read all comments but for those people that are wondering about the "Slots" it needs it only requires ONE PCI port (excuse any terms i get wrong) but it has a beeafy arse cooling which takes up the slot below aswell so it will take the space of 2 cards but the ports of one.. i think thats right

[muyke123]

tnx man i will buy card :)

[debilnoto]

great reviews!

[doughnutriot]

Im thinking of getting this and overclocking it to the specs of the EVGA Superclocked GTX 260. Its like $70 NZ cheaper. :D

[azraaell]

i have asus a8n 32 sli mobo with nforce 4 ultra chipset will this card work? or indeed to xfx standard version with 216 cores, mobo is pcie x16, i have ddr500 and amd athlon 4200x2 oced to about 2.5 2.6, 2.75 if it desides to let me with out crashing will cpu bottle neck??

[jarheadtsm]

i dont understand what he means by you need 2 slots...my mainboard has only got 1slot because i use a 7200gs...will it work with just 1 port?

[FEAR6655]

It needs 2 case PCI slot openings, due to double slot cooler. Card will work on both PCIe 1.0 and 2.0.

[JACKSONLVR1]

you need two expansion slots on your case because it has an exaust fan next to where you plug in your monitor(s) so think of it as double thick

[jarheadtsm]

can i run this card with a normal pci-e 1 in my motherboard?

[LikeAVideo]

Minimum wattage for this???!!

[omfg288]

500

[tinymouse2]

500 min

550+ reccomended

[specialformula14]

can i match a 65 nm one with a 55nm one???

[tinymouse2]

It won't overclock as far and it'll run hotter and use more power

But theres not much difference unless your overclocking (which i am =D)

[KingStivan]

i just wana know what would happen if i put this card on my old now so good pus with 500w will it start will it burn to death i just wana know ^^

[youcandownloadthis]

How does this card beat my ATi HIS HD4850 IceQ TurboX? Everything is higher on my card then this card and this still beats it???????

[ejangeles]

is this better than the Palit GeForce GTX 260 SP216 Sonic?? or the Inno3d kind?

[BryanMumble]

Palit gtx 260 sonic version , dosen't have 2d/3d mode it always uses 3d mode , thus it eats more power , inno3d? this brand still is ok , just always remember its up to your budget

[MegaTechGuy]

Do you really need this card?.. If you do, then you need to find out if you motherboard supports it. e.g. pci express 2.0/x16

[manfromhell1234]

should work but not for sli make sure u have a8 pin power cable and 6 pin

[fritspas]

in 10 years time we will be laughing as if it was an eighties console:)

[redsplash168]

you mean 1990 card

[ZerqTM]

Hell no!

blu-rays to low dencity.

in ten years when be talking peta or exabyte...

forget blueray by that time it will likely be archaic.

anyway movable mechanical parts are inpractical in a wearable system.

SSD drives are more likely.

If i have anything to say about it then in 10 years you'll be partialy merged with your own personal AI.

(So when you die and rot all that life experience wont go to waste.. when people die its like a library burning...)

[ZerqTM]

computers have to become smalle not bigger.

I am working on a wearable pc..

I allways demand more!

I think it completly reasonable to have a compyer which motherboard is pico-itx scale that can play crysis in maximum grafics settings.

granted to squeeze current day graphic cards down that small might require quantum computer GDUs..

but damn i belive the future lies in ultra mobile computing

[RussianInquisition]

Give it 10 years and we'll all be walking with Blu-ray Drives mounted into our skulls.

[ZerqTM]

graphics cards are getting way to big!

and way to power demanding.

if the manufacturers dont manage to solve these problems faster there gonna end up hitting some major limitations soon..

I men if this continues you might end up with a grafics card as big as the bloody motherboard...

then again if the borrow the stackability system of the pico-itxe card that migth work...

I can see it now a card full of 10-18 GDUs behind the motherboard....

you could heat your house with it!

[AznKoryn]

cheapskate

[ndogg360]

im definitely ganna get this card for my next build!

[Celltypewhatkind]

Man i have 750w CIT750UB power supply will this card be able to work. thank you

[HazakyProductions]

750w is more than enough :)

[Glasseh]

750W will easy run one of these cards. Maybe even two, depending on the quality of the PSU.

[FlamebaitV2]

I'm thinking about getting a 260 GTX+, but not too sure about it, it's a lot cheaper than the other cards where I'm from, any other suggestions?

[oc5nsli341nforce4]

Go for it, money will soon be worth even less than it is now thanks to the market and obongo.

[SukhoiSu37Terminator]

40 Amps on the 12 volt rail? WTF? My Gigabyte GTX 260OC only needs 36?

[GULMORK]

seriously, whatever happened to logan never found out why he doesnt do reviews anymore

[Blinx56]

He said it will work with pci Express x16. Yes it will aslong as ur BUS type is PCI express 1.1 it will not work with 1.0 unless your motherboard can be flashed. Unfortunately mine was 1.0 and there was no update i could flash my motherboard with. So watch out for that guys.

[supermicrak11]

hi i have a asus p5n-e sli bord will this card run on this bord i currantly have a 8800gt thanks

[R6818]

gonna get this card soon

[cheappop]

By high quality power supply, he means a one from Corsair or PC Power and Cooling. OCZ and Antec are shitty as fuck and will get raped @ 500w.

[a7x5631]

Fuck..I have an Antec 500 Watt >.>

[madzane94]

and the nvidias are soo big wtf..

[madzane94]

200 stream processor tsk tsk..ati past that long time with the 3870 oh..well too bad no one knows the truth about the benchmarkin with the nvidias and ati..that nvidia cheats it..anywayz..can't get into that now..

[Etern4lSlay3r]

ur a fuckin idiot... 700Mhz memory tsk tsk Nvidia past that along time ago with their 6000gts, nvidia has btter performance, u dumb bitch.

[SukhoiSu37Terminator]

Fastest card in the 6 series by core clock is the 6700 XL which runs at 525 Mhz. Are you fucking retarded. Not to mention that ATi cards have more stream processors and a different architecture therefore they run slower.

[Etern4lSlay3r]

your a complete fucking idiot, one retarded ass bitch, go fuck yourself you igornant dumbass.

[SukhoiSu37Terminator]

LOL? Why don't you even check the clock speeds for yourself you stupid fuck. All I'm doing is stating facts which you refuse to look on. Dumb fuck...

[Etern4lSlay3r]

LOL? you are the dumb fuck you stupid fuckin bitch. stfu igonorant dumbass

[SukhoiSu37Terminator]

Can you come up with anything original you retard? I think not... Eternal piece of dog shit.

[Etern4lSlay3r]

can'y YOU come up with something original you retarded dumbass?, i don't think so, SukhioSu37Fagginator

[SukhoiSu37Terminator]

Wow. Your arguments make me laugh. You just look at comments and basically reverse them. Sorry for your mental illness. :)

[Etern4lSlay3r]

Wow, Your arfuments make ME laugh, why don't you come up with something original. you dick, i am sorry for you mental retardation, but you caused it yourself.

[Etern4lSlay3r]

thats right fuckin 5 year old retard, coming up with topics with "dick", are you gay? wtf? grow some balls and pubic hair on them, bitch.

[SukhoiSu37Terminator]

LOL. You're mentally ill and schizophrenic. You're a failure. By the way, I've had balls longer than you probably. Fix your grammar by the way, it makes my eyes bleed.

[Etern4lSlay3r]

it makes your eyes bleed becuase you are a failure, you are one twisted sick fuck.

[SukhoiSu37Terminator]

LOL. Just fix your grammar and your brain and there you go. You're not a retard anymore.

[Etern4lSlay3r]

LOL. just fix your grammar and brain and there you go. You're not a retard anymore.

[SukhoiSu37Terminator]

Actually, my grammar is almost perfect if not perfect. My brain is in good standing unlike yours. Sorry, I'm not used to arguing with people with under 65 IQ. Bye. :)

[GF8800gtx9999]

plz continue your "conversation" elsewere...and dont spam the hole chanal with this shit.....

[CSFREAK21]

what happened to doing benchmarks -___-

[Attikah]

you guys are all dumbass's crysis engine sucks balls and COD5 has better or same graphics and that engine kicks ass theres no lag even with a 3870 single card like the guy below me said ITS THE GAME NOT THE CARD WHY WASTE 500+ dollars on sum pos card

[derderfan56]

BULLLLLLLSHIIITT...

cod 5's graphics gargles nigger cum compared to cryengine 2 or even the dunia engine

[Attikah]

u know nothing just get a life or stop acting like u have one

[biggus90]

shut the fuck up you obviously know shit, The Crytek engine is one of the most well developed game engine around today. You obviously don't have a system that can run Crysis at the higher settings and resolutions, so when you can, comment back and then tell me COD5 engine is better. fuck wit

[Attikah]

uh i have 9850 phenom OC 4 gbs of 1066 ram

3870x3 cross fired OC running 1680x1050 and i run crysis ultra high settings just fine

just the engine sucks source has a better engine

[shangomalinke]

like yo mama does with her corner nigger pimp!!!

you hoe!!!

[Tmoney65413]

He said faster then the GTX 280, not better. And, he didn't mention which GTX 280, but I'd suspect the vanilla one. This card is superclocked. You cannot compare a superclocked card to a vanilla one. The superclocked GTX 280 will own this.

[yashkash]

Please see that this is also that 216 Core Card, so the performance of the 216 GTX 260 Overclocked will be on par with the GTX 280 mid-overclocked.

[ImGodUFUCK]

Its better then the 280GTX

[CurtisShadyAMG]

slut XD

[Attikah]

this thing get 15 max fps in crysis sorry this video card sux

[Exxod07]

lol no it doesnt

[Attikah]

this card sux amd/ati all the way nvidia is mc cain and ati is obama you stupid fucks

[ImGodUFUCK]

your an idiot

this card gets 40fps in crysis.

and whats the deal with all the ati fans?

go too exited from the damn 4870X2 (which sucksa ass)

and this card is better then 280GTX

and i bet nvidia will make something better then ati

also ati's cards are much cheaper because they got a shity cooling

(i own a hd4850. so fuck off)

[DesignerDigital]

better than the 280gtx... i didnt know, i'll look for some video, thanks

[firestormcomputers]

No that's not true, Obama is not gooing to even do HALF of the stuff he says, ATI and Intel! FTW!

[AchmedOG2008]

WTF is ur problem?? Its a Multimedia Channel!!

Go to the Politics Channel!!!

[firestormcomputers]

somebody was talking about Obama, and i basically he is retarded, nvidia is winning now and Obama is AMD and that is bad because AMD sucks nuts

[gubbinsheretic]

Haha. Chew on your words yankee boy. "nvidia is mc cain and ati is obama you stupid fucks". Lol, who won I wonder?

[Shawkins49]

the jaguar super computer gets 15 fps, its the game not the card

[biggus90]

like fuck they are going to test a game on a super computer, a super computer would slate crysis, and 15 fps? SUPER COMPUTERS DON'T HAVE HIGH END VIDEO CARDS. fucking idiot

[Shawkins49]

was a joke

[POTVIN121]

2:02 in the captions you misspelt over

[issam619]

BENCHMARKS!

[DLC77]

WE WANT BENCHMARKS!

[royboy7632]

must have been watching beavis an butthead.

[psp7677]

Benchmarks please.

[davidt111]

haha nice one!!!

"2 pci sluts"

[Ankstek013]

BENCHMARKS!!!1!one!1!!

[ivanyoulube]

ROFL!!!11one!!  lolololol

[Kamor4]

WE WANT BENCHMARKS!!!!!!!

[lostsoldier1967]

Why ,why would you spend $400 to $1000 for this what possible game would need that much hardware ? the only reason would be for someone using cgi or such. When your computer becomes the most important thing in your life & you wish to marry it or you sleep in bed with it LOL I think you may have some serious mental problems ,balance woman & computer is always best LOL !

[dsendgraff07]

BENCHMARKS ARE PREFERABLE...

[enjoyanup]

WE WANT BENCHMARKS!

[IIIlllll]

WE WANT BENCHMARKS!

[GodZillaZorZ]

WE WANT BENCHMARKS!

[RedHealerMatt]

WE WANT BENCHMARKS!

[charchar612]

WE WANT BENCHMARKS!

[UltraXxX9800]

benchmark fuck nut

[Nipton80]

why would he do benchmarks for core 216 when he already have? its the same benchmark as Evgas core 216.. jesus.. how narrow minded are you guys.

[psp7677]

WE WANT BENCHMARKS!

[kapowwebuyer]

WE WANT BENCHMARKS! (keep this going if you want benchmarks!)

[psp7677]

you said 1680x1080p hahah

[CecilTTP]

Yeah dont they have to pay international taxes and then to get it to retailers over there costs alot.

[StyleGT]

again no benchmark im out :)

[psp7677]

agree

[shaolindreams]

my 8800GTS (G92) is barely powering my new 24"  screen playing games on high settings... this looks like something i might consider :)

[yuuks7785]

Hey, just so you know maybe u should consider waiting until Q1 in 2009. Im pretty sure new cards will be coming out with the 40nm chips. This also means the 260's, 4870's will become cheaper. I run a 8800GT@1680x1050 and it can still run 90% of the games fine. You might wanna consider saving ur monies for the near future. But hey, if u have money to burn go for it =p.

[shaolindreams]

i am going to have to wait a little while anyway.. i have an sli motherboard so if i get a new graphics card i really need a new psu and case. Yeh wait for the next one i suppose. new 290gtx?

[kevaughanshiu]

price performance wise... go for the 4850

[niggasoffdablock]

wait a second.

werent they making a 280+. wtf?

[niggasoffdablock]

nvm

i didnt watch the whole video.

[wildwolves8]

i gonna wait next year for that card,cause now it's not worth.

[deepakm]

COME ON TIGERDIRECT!! SHOW some ingame videos!! whyd u stop doing that!!

[Neoxym]

Yeah get some benchmarks up.

[Foxontherun2]

4870 x2 is faster , might aswell spend your money on somthing worthwhile.

[desurgeon]

well the 4870x2 is like $600 after tax and shipping this will be like $300-325 after tax and shipping so I wouldnt say its worth while to spend twice as much and jsut so you know I have a 4870x2 and its awesome but If i could buy again I dont think I would get the 4870x2 again its fast but not $600 fast

[Foxontherun2]

I guess if you want a cheap card then yea get a gtx 280 or 260 or whatever this thing is. Nvidia doesn't make enough sub models , they need to add more letters and numbers

[luanswan2002]

It almost £400, no fucking way!

[Foxontherun2]

probably becuase you live in the uk and pc parts are much cheaper in the usa.

[Mikeyf619]

core 216 is almost as good as 280 in OCed

[RickArter]

Very nice card wish I had the money my 7600gt is quite old now!

[brendanspurious666]

sweet card but i still luv da 9800 GX2.... no offence the gtx 280 is cool.. but i like ma 9800 GX2

[cannibalcorpse121]

same here... the GX2 is my baby ahah

[brendanspurious666]

totally.. man gx2 roxx.......

[CrdBrdProjects]

i don't know... i'd go ATI anyday, but thats just because theyre cheaper and i have an intel chipset, not an nvidia, im gonna wait and see for nvidia's new cards.

[silverstonewebcam]

i say the 260 GTX is very good compared to the price of the 280...but the 9800 GTX+ or the 9800 GX2 Black Editon, are still great cards for the money, especially the 9800 GX2 BE

[Bomber125]

WAIT FOR THE PRICE DROP!

That's all I have to say for these new Nvidia products.

The 290 is going to be out soon and they will wrap up the year by going into the 300 series.

You guys need to wait for the next one to come out before buying any new Nvidia card.

[Hekynn]

My PSU can handle both the 260 and 280 :D So if my 8800GT dies out on me getting me a 280 :D

[15eman]

were the fuck are the benches damn.

[CRAKIZGOOD]

cant wait for the gtx 290

[djtekfour]

Looking good!

[feverofhell2]

can,t find this in the uk anyone got a link?? this is what im looking for

[shenny100]

Not out here yet. But the XFX GTX 260 BLACK EDITION is here. Its slightly faster than this card, and has 216 cores as well.

[feverofhell2]

Oooooo sounds good!

[hurtstoluv]

he's better than you!!

[nxji]

I can't find this on the site -_-
