Not impressed

but if anyone was interested have a read.

All in all, if you have bought a GTX 260 with 216 SPs, you have nothing to fear considering the 55nm version doesn’t give you any tangible benefits. With prices of the 65nm GTX 260 cards falling through the floor, the card reviewed here today probably isn’t too appealing at this juncture but it shouldn’t be written off too quickly. It occupies the tough position of a transitionary product that some (myself included) were hoping would bring better overclocking and lower power consumption to the table. These hopes weren’t fully borne out and that comes as a disappointment. It is as plain and simple as that.

Pros:

- Good performance
- Lifetime Warranty
- Quiet operation
- Good accessory package

Cons:

- Priced slightly above 65nm version
- Offers no overclocking or power savings benefits over old card
- Color scheme may not be to your liking

I just ordered one but not necessarily because it was 55nm.... the ram is all on the front side of the card so it will be easier to deal with for WC without a bunch of sinks sticking off the back of the card.

Also beware of repost police

I don't think that this was meant to be a lot better but to reduce costs. Disappointed by the overclocking results though.

He had it tagged quite differently so very forgivable.

Either way this is a nifty-ish card, not a reason to go out and drop your 65nm version but probably the one to pick out of the two as long as the price is right.
