JustJosh Wow, that is aggresively overclocked. 666MHz, this card must run extremely hot or that heatsink is extremely efficient.

... "Of course, this is no regular GTX 260. XFX did a nice job here: the shader boost helped, but what really made this card scream is the aggressive overclocking that XFX executed here. Some overclocked cards offer a little performance boost here, and half a frame a second over there... the Black Edition however has enough of a nitro kick to propel it to another level of performance entirely."

For a starters, perhaps a HD 4870 X2 Black Edition would get things off to the right start. Definitely our latest XFX card reviewed, the GTX 260 Black Edition was a solid product. AMD's Rick Bergman was quoted as saying the following in a press release: "In the world of PC gaming, ...
