Aiming to hinder ATI's Radeon 4870 penetration of the high end graphics market, Nvidia introduced an improved version of their GTX 260 graphics card; but it seems that this plan might not be working as well as Nvidia hoped for.

The new design, dubbed GTX 260-216, retains the $299.99 price point but boasts 216 stream processing units, compared to original GTX 260 which includes 192 units only.

Unfortunately for the company, most of Nvidia's production partners decided not to follow their plan and replace the old GTX 260 graphics cards with the new design. Companies such as Asustek Computer, Gainward, MicroStar International and Leadtek just have too many GTX 260 graphic cards in stock. They also believe that increasing the number of stream processors wouldn't result in a significant performance boost without increasing other fixed function execution units as well.

I hate you megagames. Give me no indication on why my post didn't go through. Was it too long? Did I use a word I shouldn't have? I got the captcha right! I guess this damn site has a block against well thought out constructive posts. Because I couldn't post what I wanted, I'll do this: FIRST POST YAY!! Go to hell, megagames.

I only post if it's a 4 letter captcha, anything higher than that and it seems megatards has issues, though for me I find once I post, I can NEVER post on that topic again, EVER, I've tried emailing them, email BOMBING them for help, all landing on deaf ears, I swear if I ever meet someone that actually works for megatards I'm going to beat the SH!T out of them for retarded captcha system.

they're just going with the masses, a few months ago everyone was still pro-Nvidia and bi.t.ch.ing at ATI, now the popularity is starting to shift cause ATI has some pretty awesome cards and the best bang for the buck

Anonymousat 21:18 18/10/2008..Except you dont need 3 gtx280s to make crysis playable.I have only one and it plays crysis with all on high at over 70fps (1680x1050).If sli or crossfire was a sensible option that worked out of the box on every game without needing any specially coded games or drivers then more of us would do it.atm its for those special ppl that need to say, "hey ive got 3 of these, arent i great?"

Nvidia Partners Reluctant To Adopt Improved GTX 260

Anonymous @ 7:54 Idiot, mr Anon @ 21:18 was being sarcastic. "The GTX 260 OC beats any ATI peice of s**t EXCEPT for the x2. How does that make it a peice of s**t?" Its not manufactured, that means its s**t ;D
