I'm pondering getting the MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv2($199 after rebate) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127409) as my current card has treated me well and took a decent OC. Curious what folk's experience has been with overclocking the MSI 260 GTX 216 55nm card? As I understand it the 55nm coolers are smaller since they don't need to be as large with the lower heat output/power consumption which has lead to limited overclocking. Curious if MSI has put a beefier cooler on this card to facilitate their OC of it?
This card has a coupon code to make it $185 shipped, EVGA 896-P3-1255-AR (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130434) but I don't know that this card can OC to the out-of-the-box settings of the card above with the stock cooler.
I have a $200 upgrade buget so I am looking at the 260 core cards.
Appreciate any input. :)
