BFG GeForce GTX 260 896MB Video Card Review

Overclocking


Please note that overclocking this card will void your warranty.

We were expecting some great overclocks from this card considering it is nothing more that a crippled GTX 280 core while the memory is rated at the same voltage but a bit lower clocks. Without a doubt, the BFG GTX 260 didn’t disappoint.

Final Overclocks:

Core: 704Mhz
Shader: 1518Mhz
Memory: 2464Mhz (DDR)

Wow, this card really has a good amount of overclocking headroom since the clocks nearly matched those we received from our GTX 280 overclocks and the memory even went a bit further. To put this into perspective, these speeds translate to increases of 128Mhz on the core, 276Mhz on the shaders and an amazing 466Mhz on the memory. Not bad at all….
