There was a time when there weren't to many computer components manufacturers. As so, some companies were leading the in the IT industry without much competition. MSI (MicroStar International) was a high roller when it came to motherboards in the mid 90's. The company delivered high end products with unique features that usually came at a premium price.



By developing the N260GTX-T2D896-OC MSI is trying to win the hearts of gaming enthusiasts who can't always afford to pay the premium price for top of the line solutions. MSI has packed this card with some of its own home made recepies and you can be sure that the MSI cookbook is pretty impressive.



First of all there's the 3-in-1 High Efficiency Fan. This uses a dual slot concept that allows for an efficient heatsink design for improved heat dissipation and whisper quiet cooling. Second on the list (and even more important) is the MSI Solid Capacitor Graphic Card feature. When it comes to long periods of gaming some systems may end up crashing. Solid capacitors provide more efficient DC regulation and prolong components life. If quality visuals are your main interest, then be assured the N260GTX-T2D896-OC will not disappoint since it uses MSI's Vivid technology which is meant to adjust colors and contrast for different activities like gaming, photo viewing, document processing etc.



Enthusiasts have not been left aside for MSI DOT Express Technology was added to the mix. Now DOT is an acronym for Dynamic Overclocking Technology, and if you ever thought about overclocking this should sound pretty good. The system is designed to provide games with a 10X performance improvement by synchronizing GPU & DDR performance and dynamically calibrating the fan speed. To further improve gaming experience, the integrated MSI Shader O.C technology will enhance Stream Processor in the GTX260 GPU and increase frame rates beyond default specifications.



The card comes with 3-way SLI support, so if you have a compatible motherboard and decide in the future that you want more graphics processing power, just add a couple of siblings to your system and you'll be ready to experience HD gaming at its best.



The product can be found at a price of 399$-429$.
