Palit GeForce GTX 260 Sonic 216SP Review (BmR)

Because of the various factors working against desktop graphics, Benchmark Reviews believes that now is the time for manufacturers to stop building a bigger mousetrap, and instead build it better. That's what Palit does, and their approach to discreet graphics products usually follows the rule of function before fashion. In this case, it's function and realistic performance needs before fashion and marketing hype. Sure, NVIDIA would lover for you to believe that SLI is necessary to play the newest video games, but oddly enough the nearly all new games still work fairly well with a single three-generation old video card. So where's the sweet spot? Benchmark Reviews tests the Palit GeForce GTX 260 Sonic 216SP model NE3X262SFT394-PM8026 video card to see just how much money you need to spend to enjoy fast frame rates at high resolution (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Crysis, Culture, Devil May Cry 4, Far Cry 2, PC, Tech, World in Conflict) 8.7/10
