Can anyone tell me how many processing cores the card shown below has?


http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/PCI-E/nVIDIA+GTX+260%2F280+Series/nVidia+GeForce+GTX+260+896MB+PCI-E+?productId=34394


I was wondering whether it has the old number of 192, or the shiny new 216.

This may not be an easy question, since this card seems to be unbranded and I cant find the exact same one anywhere else on the web.

Thanks in advance.

That will be the old 192, the 216 versions are marketed as 216 versions.

Hi,
even if it is 216 core do not buy it!basicly it is 216SP!
1) it is PALIT!
2) makes LOUD-VERY LOUD Squealing noice!
3) in the box only: Hdmi, Spidif, Dvi to d-Sub, manual, Cd! - no SLI, no other Media cables!

Performance thou is ok!
without O/C 3d benchmark of 4870 is better!

B-star yours made a loud noise, it was faulty. It happens sometimes! :chairfall:

It doesn't mean they all do.

And the 216 core makes a huge difference performance wise over older spec.

I wouldn't expect any other cables than what you had listed above? whats missing cable wise? (please don't say molex to pci-e 6pin converter, as you sould be using decent psu in first place!)

he wanted a SLi cable?

SLi bridges (if thats what you meant) are supplied, in my experience, with mobo's, the gfx card manufactures have no idea what mobo they will be used in and as mobo's can have the pci express slots at varying widths apart it would more than likely not fit unless if they did supply one, unless they supplied flexy pcb type which is less than ideal.

oh, forgot to mension molex to pci-e 6 pin!

1) unfortunatelly in other forums people have same Squealing as me,
guess it is poor Palit's quality, but yes, if three cards are "faulty" it does not mean that all of them are, but it shows the Quality of this product!
2)216 cores ofcourse are better than first generation of Gtx260!
After O/C this card it beats 4870 in 3d benchmark 06 thou!
3)no SLI bridge - which i think for gamers is important!
no S-Vid for cameras and other media cable which is supplied in different brand's!
4) and i think if ARIA supply with PALIT GTX260 216SP, it should say that it is PALIT, as i did not think it would be a PALIT!

THE MOTHERBOARD COMPANIES PROVIDE SLI BRIDGES! My god do you not listen? And also, aria supply a set of cards that could be from any of a few sources, palit or others, so it isnt branded as palit.

oh, don't shout!
forget about SLI, i mentioned other important points, but you looked only at one!
i don't have nothing against Palit as many other people who think it is a poor brand, but anyway, Aria should say that it could be for examble Palit, MSI,etc.!
cuz me was personally a bit disapoinnted

You continued to use an invalid point after being corrected. There are different vendors of cards for different budgets and of different quality, if you chose the cheapest you cannot expect to to be as good as the most expensive version of the same card.

£212 is cheapest?

and ""oh god, you don't listed... i guess i have to say to you!"

cheapest GTX is before £200!
i don't touch what you have corrected, but as you are from aria you keep your companies points, but i just speak my opinion which can help to provide custommers better information of the product!

I do not work for aria, i just feel your blaming aria for palits problem.

I sayed that i don't have abything against PALIT!
if i blame i would call Customer service, etc.

2)216 cores ofcourse are better than first generation of Gtx260!
After O/C this card it beats 4870 in 3d benchmark 06 thou! EXACTLY! but earlier you said "even if it is 216 core do not buy it!basicly it is 216SP!" :thumbsdn:

3)no SLI bridge - which i think for gamers is important! SLI BRIDGE IS A SOLID PIECE OF PLASTIC AND DIFFERS FROM MOBO TO MOBO, NEVER COMES WITH GFX CARD!
no S-Vid for cameras and other media cable which is supplied in different brand's! S-vid cable who cares LOL

4) and i think if ARIA supply with PALIT GTX260 216SP, it should say that it is PALIT, as i did not think it would be a PALIT 99% of nvidia cards are made in same Taiwan factory then different stickers put on by resellers, you can even peel this off on some and find the nvidia reference sticker underneath! :chairfall:

We've got a low return rate on that card... think I've only seen 1 come back!

Monkey
22-12-08, 11:59
Was that because the customer had drooled all over it and it wouldnt work afterwards?

S-vid and other media is not important for me, but

I think you should both just drop it, stop winding each other up,and kiss and make up. Its been going on for a while now, across a few different threads and its really not productive for anyone.

that's true, i guess they just got me wrong, as i am registered on three different PC forums, this is the first issue.
On other forums people listen, give opinions,.. but here if you post something that don't score point for them, they start to mess with people.

guess someone upset them back to childhood, they r angry on everyone!:exclaim

Yeah, I wasnt pointing the finger.. I just think its been going on for a while, and chances are it will escalate and one of you will end up leaving, and thats not what anyone wants. This is a genuinely friendly forum!

as i am friendly person, i know what you mean, you can see my posts, all the time i wanted to say and that's all, not argue,.. if someone wants it i can meet on the streets and kick someone's *** :mrgreen: ... but...
just forget it! i do not pay attention, i am to good for it :-D
