NVIDIA is updating the GTX 260 to be more competitive with the recently
Radeon HD 4800 releases from AMD. Can this upgraded GTX 260 model put NVIDIA
back into the clear lead for performance gaming? We take a look at an
overclocked BFG model to find out! Do those extra 24 shader processors make
up enough ground?

Quote: "NVIDIA is NOT creating any kind of new brand for this product
however: there is no GTX 260+ designation, no move to the GTX 270, nothing
like that. Instead NVIDIA is leaving the "branding" part up to their
partners and AICs so expect each board vendor to come up with their creative
name for these updated GeForce GTX 260 cards. For our testing sample, BFG
Tech came up with the GeForce GTX 260 MAXCORE models. No doubt this
exercise in branding will lead to a high number of confused buyers trying to
discover why one GTX 260 card is so much better than another, both from
vendor X and both sporting the same friggin' name."

Thanks for a post!
