BFG GeForce GTX 260 896MB MaxCore (Updated)

That old adage of "competition is good for consumers" is over played in my eyes; competition is GREAT for consumers. Take today's review for an example: compared to NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 GTX, available in early 2007, the new GeForce GTX 260 card gets 1.4x the performance in Bioshock for about 1/4 the price of the 8800 GTX when it was released. Equivalent performance THEN, with the GeForce 8800 GTX, would have cost you about $840 if we pretend we could scale a GPU 1:1 by price/performance to today's $249 GTX 260 cards. Not too bad.
