Core and Memory Configuration

This graphics card is built around the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 chipset and carries 896M of GDDR3 memory across a 448bit interface. The core clock runs at 2100MHz and the maximum supported resolution is 2560*1600. It connects via a PCI Express 2.0 16X slot and requires two 6pin power connectors.

Target User and Limitations

This card suits enthusiasts maintaining or repairing older systems that specifically need a GTX 260 class GPU with this memory configuration. It is not suited for modern gaming workloads, current display standards or builds that require contemporary driver support and feature sets. Buyers should look elsewhere if they need current-generation performance or newer display outputs.

Deciding Specification

The 448bit memory interface paired with 896M of GDDR3 defines the card's bandwidth envelope and determines whether it matches the specific slot, power and driver requirements of the target legacy platform. Verify that the motherboard provides a PCI Express 2.0 16X slot and that the power supply delivers two 6pin connectors before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What power connectors does the GTX 260 need for sustained full-load operation?

The card draws power through two six-pin connectors so the PSU must provide both for stable all-day use.

How loud and hot does the MSI N260GTX-OC run during extended sessions?

The dual-slot cooler exhausts heat out the rear; expect noticeable fan noise and warm case temperatures under continuous load.

Which motherboard slot and power supply are required before installing this 896M GDDR3 card?

A PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot plus a power supply with two six-pin connectors are mandatory for the board to function.
