Usually graphics card with Nvidia chipset along with the green PCB, but the graphics card Digital Alliance (DA) Geforce GTX 260 219SP Sonic, even using red PCB which is found in the range ATI Radeon graphics cards.
Show and graphics card specifications sangar DA GTX 260 is Nvidia product range that has great ability, provided with 216 stream processors (SP), video memory and 896MB of DDR3 memory interface is 448 bits, to make this graphics card can devour all the game time with maximum detail.

2 cooling fan with this effective enough heat and muffle noise is not classified, the temperature on the graphics card is idle only when conditions in the 60C range while when full load is around 73C, the temperature is quite cold for vga with a 625MHz core clock and memory clock 2200 MHz.

Performance

To test the ability of graphics card to try this with the DirectX 10-based applications, using the first test application of benchmark Futuremark 3D Vantage successfully pass with a score of P9623 (GPU Score).

While for the game, try Farcry2 with the results, with the ultra high level diresolusi 1440 X 900 graphics card is able to penetrate 38fps, whereas when using anti-aliasing is only 4X
reduced into 36fps.

Tests are done using systems with AMD Athlon X2 3Ghz, 2GB RAM and use Windows7 64bit build 7000. Testing of these graphics cards can be classmates DA GTX 260 216SP akan more if compared with the optimal system based QuadCore.

PhysX and CUDA

As the series Nvidia graphics card from the 8000 series supports PhysX and CUDA, to demonstrate the ability to try the demo from Nvidia PhysX namely Sneak Peak: Nurien Demo.

There are a few things confusing, the average fps of GTX 260 is obtained that is smaller compared to the Geforce 8800GT, the GTX 260 for 23fps and 24 fps for the Geforce 8800GT. Although the difference is not far, it is worth considering the Geforce 8800GT has a specification that is much lower than the GTX 260 216SP.

With Badaboom, Nvidia claims can switch the load to the GPU so the CPU can alleviate the performance of the processor. This can not be denied, when it tried to convert a video graphics card, the task manager shows 10-14% CPU usage, while the graphics card that does not support CUDA performance processors can reach 55%.


Testing results:
3DMark Vantage: P11427
Farcry2 Ultra High (1440X900): 37.57 fps
Farcry2 Ultra High (1440X900, 4X Anti-Aliasing): 36.01 fps


Sales package:
DA graphics card, with a hardcase shaped like a box ready to eat food Japanese style. While the content in a deluxe hardcase, there is a CD Drivers, Adapter 1x DVI, 1x HDMI, HDTV cable, VGA cable 6pin Power and a bonus game that is quite old Tomb Rider Aniversary.
