New Video Card-/GPU BLocks (GTX200 series)

[Dj Spiel]

My nVidia 8800 GTS (G92) is on it's way out the door already. I am currently looking into buying

GTX 280 or GTX 260 (I've owned the 9800 GTX *x2* and wasn't a big fan)


Anyways I am looking at waterblocks for the GTX 200 series cards. Currently I have a dedicated setup just for the GPU


~~~Watercooling~~~
Swiftech MCRES-MICRO Reservoir
Swiftech MCR220-QP Dual 120mm Radiator Black
Swiftech MCP655 Water Pump

This was build out based on opinions which I respected highly

Anyways any feedback would be great guys! I am looking for budget here

PNY VCGGTX260XPB GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit
$249.99 shipped!


So if i can get a full-block or partial block so be it


My 8800GTS *G92* has the Swiftech MCW60-R VGA Waterblock along with the Swiftech MC14 Copper Heatsinks

The card works great but I can't really overclock it that much so i am thinking I am ready to move with another card.

I'd say use your MCW60. Thats a solid block.

id say get a 4870x2 instead of the gtx200 series.

x2, the mcw60 is a very good block still.

As far as ATI...I am done with that company until they show me/give me another reason to. Drivers are crap and catalyst takes up way to much ram.
