I saw the eVga GTX260 Superclocked edition on ebay for $190 bucks and snatched it up as it's price was $50 below all the other cards. It wasn't until afterwords I noticed that it only has 192 shader processors as compared to the 216 editions. Still the price I got it for seems sweet. Should I stick with this card? Is it much slower than the 216 edition?
Any tricks, hacks or unlocks known for this model?

I have the exact same card and it is quite strong, increase from 192 to 216 shaders only leads to around 3-5% performance improvement. At 702-1402-1100 I am mighty pleased with mine, almost equals a stock GTX 280 in benches.

Excellent and thanks for the OC numbers. That will give me a starting point for overclocking.

I'm have one. Runs great. Awesome folding@home numbers as well. Download the 2 physx packs for a bunch of extras that work great on that card. Also use the EVGA utiltiy it helps for clocking and adjusting the fan.

I'm quite sure there are no unlocking utilities. Seems they physically fuse off the extra cores on the newer generations of GFX cards.

Good deal. I plan on OC"ing it to the limit.
I'm feeling better about this purchase now.
Anyone using Rivatuner for OC'ing?
Will it control fan speeds as well?

I used rivatuner for OC'ing before i was like F this (UAC kept popping up every start up for rivatuner and I didn't want to disable it just for rivatuner) and flashed the card with my custom clocks and fan profile. So yes Rivatuner works well for Oc'ing and fan control.
