My gtx 260 vs a gtx 275/hd4890, Tell me your gtx 260 overclock.

[happy medium]

I was reading the superclocked Gigabyte gtx 260 article a few weeks back and wondered if a normal gtx 260 could reach it's overclock and match or beat a gtx 275/4890.

So I scoped the for sale/trade forums for a used gtx260. Finally I nabbed a XFX one for 125$ shipped.

The stock Gtx 275 is clocked @ 633,1403,1134, so I went for more.
So I overclocked it to 676,1403,1134 and played a few hours of Need for Speed shift and Crysis on high settings, and it ran smooth as butter.

DId a couple of 3d mark 06 runs ,ran great and scored 16,243 with sm2/sm3 scores of 7522/8084.

I monitored my temps and they never went over 61c! and she runs 39c @ idle!

Now my question is, I noticed the gtx 275 has more texture address filters, 80/80 vs 72/72 for the gtx 260. Will my extra core clock (676 vs 633) make up for that?

So do I have have effectively a gtx 275 for $125? :hmm:

Anyone wanna buy my very overclockable 9800gtx+ 1gb?

Thanks for your input.

I upgraded from a gtx260 216 to a gtx285, I was able to clock my 285 to 730 on the core and only noticed a difference in Crysis. This is at 1920x1200.
