Well bro the card cost me about 450$ both.
Got it off eBay, and that dude also has offered and confirmed RMA (Return Material Authorization) available from EVGA too :D, in case in the future IF needed, I asked him to register the cards. SO they have warranty from evga.
I have a USA Address with Aramex known as Shop and Ship. And shipping to Oman cost me around45Rial Omani, with Tax etc. Both costing 45,000/= Pak Rs.
Each 22,500/= GREAT For Superclocked Evga versions with warranty :D

Well I tried Fallout 3 - Is there a Cap of 60 Frames? cause mm its static 60 FPS with FRAPS.
Will test more. Waiting for Mirror's edge too.

@mave i think his sm2 n sm3 scores r just OK!!! ...
but then again!!! i saw on a site (might be xtremesystem) a guy did 8800gt sli and he touched 20k plus with an E8xxx
here is the detail!!!
Hor$eman - 20491 marks - 2x GeForce 8800 GT 512 Mb @ 718/1004mhz - 2x 8800GT SC Akimbo @ 718/1004/1895 - E8400 @ 4500 MHz- Patriot Viper Pin PC9600 @ 1000 MHz 4-4-4-12 - Striker II Formula - on Air

how come his cpu wud be limiting his gpu??? cause i cant buy this fact tat two 260gtx would perform this bad!!! his sm2 n sm3 score should have been better!!!
see this!!!
15. HeavyH20 - 26519 marks - 2x GeForce GTX 260 216SP @ 735/1190mhz - no description
10. MassiveOverkill - 17966 marks - GeForce GTX 260 @ 750/1567mhz - Q9450 @ 3.6 Ghz - GTX260 @ 750/1567/1250 - all on air

Right behind you.......
Excellent setup bro and you can stil make it better:

1. i think that your core 2 duo is bottlenecking the Sli setup. Go for a core 2 quad. It will definetly increase the performance.
2. Go for a better casing with a good airflow and plenty of space. Whats the temps on your cards in this case??? i would suggest CM 690: i too have one and i have the same card (Non-Sli) on a 780i and Q6600.
I get avg 25 - 32 FPS on very high settings 4x AA nad 1440 x 900 res.

More BenchMarks

Hey Mates, THANKS
Well I think that 3DMark06 is not doing well with the GTX cards, read some review. I dont know how they got that high score with it.

Vantage is nice, and Crysis Benchmarks as you saw were really awesome.

I will try Crysis Warhead and Mirror's edge soon too.

I tried Witcher and its giving me Gorgeous frames, in dungeons around 120 and in the Towns around 80-90 FPS.

Fear Benchies are here; I think there is a cap on Frames;






Casing definitely next upgrade , mm before Corei7 :D

the fact is not tat 260gtx or any other gtx r bad ... but they perform dnt gud in sli setup! ... n at the end ... 3dmark06 etc is not the core standard to measure the performance ... cause it all matters in real world gaming ... no benchmarks!

Yes I agree with you guys. 3DMark is said to be SYNTHETIC BENCMARK TOOL. Games are where the real stuff is :) I think that the Crysis benchies surprised me , with everything on HIGH.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
