Galaxy GeForce GTX 260+ 896MB Razor Edition Video Card

Introduction

We're hearing a lot about NVIDIA these days, but unfortunately much of it is pretty negative as well. We're hearing about poor yields on the GT 300, a delayed launch date of the model and also low supply of popular GTX 200 series models.

The worst thing about all the information is most of it seems to be true. Sure, we've got the GT 220 and GT 210 launch, but a lot of people simply find it hard to get excited about these low end models, even though it's NVIDIAs first 40nm card.

The model we continue to see from NVIDIA partners is the GTX 260+; it went through many variations since its launch and for the most part has offered some great performance. Today we see Galaxy launch a new series with the model; the new series is labeled the Razor Edition and we hope that it manages to stand out a bit.

The GTX 260+ from Galaxy is the first NVIDIA based graphics card to get taken through our new benchmark line-up which includes testing under Windows 7. Before we get into those numbers we'll have a look at the package Galaxy has put together and also take a closer look at the card itself.
