$135 AR to be exact, I had a $20 credit from NewEgg. Still, even for $155, it's a really good deal.Weren't retail prices of the GTX260 in the $250-300 range two years ago? (after falling from the $400 launch price). His card is less than $200.

I paid $184 bucks after $20 rebate in October 2008. and I was thinking about the 6870 price.
Actually I believe his 260 is the slower 192SP version.
You obviously missed the table further down the page which shows the 192SP version at the $250-300 price point.
Regardless, it seems the point still stands - we're comparing a two-year old $184 card vs a six month old $135 card.
Six month?
You mean 3 month?
No problemYou are correct - I must have been caffeine deprived.
Funny that my GTX460 1GB card passed Kombustor test at 1045MHz.Expect the card to compete with the GTX460, if not pass it on several benchmarks. The GTX460s out in the market now are beyond nVidia's 675MHz memory clock in their reference design, going as high as 800MHz.
Funny that my GTX460 1GB card passed Kombustor test at 1045MHz.
MSI manufacture speed for my GTX460 is 811MHz, and my default graphics profile are 900Mhz and 950Mhz (950MHz fan speed have to be at 80% therefore it is pretty loud.)
IMHO, I would change that 800MHz to at least 850MHZ because of the EVGA GeForce GTX 460 FTW.

Very nice, congrats on the new cardJust o/c my Asus directCU 6850 to 900/1100, seems to run @73C in furmark @ 43% fan speed, so in normal gaming it will be much lower
Could one expect to get a better overclock out of Trixx or Afterburner compared to the built-in CCC overclock utility?
I can only get 850/1140 on stock voltage using CCC, and for the brief period I tried Afterburner, I still couldn't get past 1140 on memory.
thats AF not AA. dont make me pull out that face palm picture you like to use on others. :biggrin:
I understand that they allow you to set higher clocks and manipulate voltage.Yes, TriXX and MSI AF(after config change) allow you to go as high as 1165/1300 as well as manually change voltage.
