    Good performance with AA, Effective cooler, Supports PhysX and CUDA.

    Expensive, Power hungry.

The Card



The Zotac GTX 260 uses the exact same cooler that its elder sibling (GTX 280) has. Apart from the sticker, it's exactly the same design.



The front bears the same dual slot cooler as seen before. There are two dual link DVI ports along with a component out port. Unlike the GTX 280 though, there isn't any LED light at the back. This lights up when the card is powered on.



The rear has the same open 'snout' design with two rubber plugs hiding the screws.



Here we have two 6-pin PCI-e connectors, which should provide the card with enough power. Yes, like the GTX 280, this thing too is a power-hungry beast. Next to it, we have the SPDIF audio out port for the HDMI adapter.



The back of the card is covered, giving it a very clean look. Unlike the XFX card, there are no fancy graphics here.



In front, we have the SLI Bridge for 2-way and 3-way SLI.
