EVGA is no stranger to video card enthusiasts, in fact they are celebrating their ninth anniversary this month. They have been leaders in innovation and customer service, with excellent features such as a lifetime warranty, 90-day optional step-up and 24/7 tech support. Although originally and primarily a graphics card vendor, EVGA has launched several side lines such as motherboards, water blocks and video accessories like TV tuners and USB display adapters. Today I have for review the EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 260 video card, one of the latest in graphic card designs.


This particular card was obtained through EVGA's Step-Up program, which allows you to upgrade one time within the first 90 days of purchase. The card I traded in was an 8800GTS 512, certainly no slouch in the performance department however it did not support nVidia's new Hybrid SLI technology, which I reviewed earlier this month. While I wasn't blown away by the level of benefit that Hybrid SLI offers, it still does have some advantage for low-end SLI performance or high-end power savings. Hopefully I'll be more impressed with the GTX 260.

Join me as I take a closer look at the EVGA GTX 260.
