Richard Vanderhurst analyze the GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked

"Core 216? Refers back to the fact that this is the second issue of this chip, with 216 processing cores, compared to 192 in the 1st. Unfortunately, potency in 3D cards does not typically transliterate into speed, and if you spend a little more more you may find a noticeably faster graphics card powered by ATI.

We like that card in its price class, but it is essentially not the most reasonable product out there, neither is it satisfactory for those with smaller monitors.

We are especially impressed by its potency at load, consuming a full fifty watts less than the GTX 280, which was only a little faster on our performance charts.

Likely, you'd still want to match this card with at least a 550- or 600-watt power supply, presuming you combine it with a quad-core or fast dual-core CPU. You won't find a budget Computer with such a high wattage PSU, but you could be in a position to sneak it into a recently purchased PC around $1,000 or so. And, naturally, this card supports Nvidia's SLI multicard technology, as well as hardware-accelerated PhysX, CUDA-enabled software, and all the other supposed "visual computing" features Nvidia likes to brag about.
We suspect it's only a matter of time, but by that point you will likely have a totally new array of 3D cards to pick between.
