    I use a 260 Black with ACC Extreme cooling fitted which generates great PPD and is relatively good on power.

    You can view what I'm getting with it here. http://keithwhi.awardspace.co.uk/

    I run games such as FarCry2, Crysis, Race Driver Grid etc at 1920x1200 and have had no real problems once I've sorted the config.

    In my opinion, :thumb:

    Keep an eye on www.videocardshop.co.uk, they sometimes sell refurbished XFX GTX260 Black Edition (the heavily overclocked 260) for around £100. Excellent cards for both folding and gaming, and a bargain at that price :thumb:
