(GTX 260)
DirectX 10
New power management enhancements
CUDA parallel processing
GeForce PhysX
Note the Highlighted points above. That will really upset those who spends 399 USD(priced 399$ when my friend boght) just to get the transistors count reduced when compared with lesser priced GTX 280.
My opinion
But PhysX performance is better than GTX 280, in game physics such as vector objects representation and their movements, lightning effects are very well represented.
In terms of appearance this card gives much a sort of a "Beasty" appearance than 9800 GTX. Its appearance is like its ready to take any game thrown to it, set at thier highest quality. But It really doesnt perform so and it explicitely shows that Appearances are deceiving.
Though this card performs good, its not better than its "Big ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of XFX GeForce GTX 260
Product: Graphics Card
Make: NVIDIA, GeForce
Version: GTX 295
Price: Varied
The GeForce 295 GTX is the fastest graphic card to date, it holds 1,792MHz RAM of memory, and the resolution size is 2,560 x 1,600, now that is massive. This is an incredibly fast card; so you?re going to need a really big screen in order to get the most out of it, and its twin-GPU prowess. The GTX is powerful, hungry and exactly what you?d expect from a cutting-edge slice of computing, and believe me when I say this, it sure isn?t cheap. This pro-gaming kit needs specific hardware to really make it shine. The great thing I like about this, the performance takes over from the NVIDIA make. NVIDIA is a top brand, I always find it?s the fastest, and more reliable make, it also upgrades AMD?s successful 4870 X2 brand. Who ever processed this one ...
Advantages: Ok, cheap Disadvantages: not for extreme gamers
It's an excellent video card that has Shader Model 3.0, Scalable Link Interface (SLI), PureVideo andHigh Dynamic Range (HDR). HDR is the rendering of 3D computer graphics scenes by using lighting calculations done in a high dynamic range. Specifically it refers to the new lighting model used to illuminate 3D worlds. It's a low budget card and it will work perfectly on Vista and many games. Inno3DGeForce 7300 GT is one of the faster cards of its class so this mild setback should not deter anyone from getting it. It's already faster than a GeForce 7600 GS so one shouldn't be too greedy. If you're looking for a cheap and worthwhile upgrade, and you already have the motherboard, you should consider buying the 7300GT. Just make sure your getting the GDDR3 256MB version. ...
