I just received on friday an Nvidia 260 ordered from Amazon. Here is my tiny review...:
I have had the Nvidia 9800GTX for about a year with satisfactorily results getting the usual 20 + fps in the mountains and with good weather. Going to 10-19 in large cities and less with 100% traffic. So I got the 260 with 860 MG to try my luck after doing very little research on it.
Nice Card. Fps went up, not a whole lot, but enough. In the mountains I am getting around 40 and up but what really surprised me is how quick everything is settling and with nor jumps nor quirks...I have everything Maxed to 100%, all sliders up. Jungles are totally populated with trees coming out of my ears and the flight is as smooth as silk. Noticed with the new 195.35 Driver a clearer picture all the way and brighter too. Over large cities like, Los Angeles, N.Y. and Seattle am getting, down under on the runway with full traffic around 19-28 FPS which is ok, since I get out of those places pretty quick and hardly ever go there anyway. Nights are allright at around 20-30 with all those lights......started real weather using, what I use always and never fly without , my pal HI Fi´s Active Sky and flew in all kinds of 7/8 cloud cover and happily never got a glitch and a zooming 30-70 fps from 5000 up, so this is just fine. For $ 199.00 I think I got a good deal and do recommend the card as quite a nice buddy of FSX......
