This is also worth a look on scan today only at £110 http://www.scan.co.uk/product.aspx?ProductId=28890 its got a year longer warranty and is already slightly breathed on but you don't get terminator salvation but by all accounts thats no great loss. Great if you have the free delivery too.

Not taking anything away from this deal just another option........... either way the 260 is one of the best bang for buck cards going really.
Have fun spending!

I thought for a second you got the proper Nvidia 3D Shutter Glasses with this.. Id have bought 10 if you did..

Turns out its red/blue glasses.. Still a good deal though including the games.. Im tempted.

IMO, the core clock speed is a bit slow, esp for the amount of memory its packing. Its a way of sticking the top brand chipset on an average card. I reckon my 512MB 880GTS is marginally slower.

Although at the price worth the money i guess.

Unfortunately it seems that this doesn't qualify for Terminator Salvation - looking at the deal on nzone.com "Offer available until July 31, 2009 or while supplies last. Voucher must be redeemed by August 31, 2009. " Still seems like a decent card for the price though and Batman & glasses free can't hurt.

clock speed isn't every thing, this has twice the pixel pipelines yours has and 256mb mem is for the physx processor, just got one thru work and its a very nice card
