[quote][quote]Out of curiosity, is anyone else currently gaming with the GTX 260? I know it's mid-end but it's a pretty good card especially when it's overclocked

GTX 260 216 core 55nm Gainward Golden Sample, whcih should be sufficient for a bit. I have no plans to change it for the next year at least. Yeah, it is pretty good and i have decent enough frames at 1650 x 1200. No AA. I have ran it at 1920 x 1200 and it is still quite playable, but you do notice the slowdown during firefights.
I think the version i have runs more like a GTX 280. it does seem to overclock quite well from it factory overclocked settings. I had a go with it but couldn't find the right balance for Crysis. I hear that you benefit from overclocking the shader clock in Crysis and that is linked to the GPU clock. Before i heard this i was overclokcing more on the memory.
What can i say i got it because it was a good price (£130 ) and there were no 5850 or 5870 available at the time. I am very pleased with the card.[/quote]
Sorry, just to clarify i run my settings on very high.
