MSI announced a new GTX260 card they’re released named the “N260GTX Lighting”, targeted to high-end users. The main announced feature is that it will ship with 1.8Gig of video memory, double the amount present on reference cards.
Unfortunately, there aren’t any technical details available at this time, aside from the fact that the upcoming card will be featuring an impressive 1792MB of GDDR3 memory, double the amount that is featured on reference cards. However, given the cooling potential of the double-slot, double-fan cooler of said card, MSI will likely be playing a bit with the its frequency levels, further enhancing its performance capabilities. If that is not the case, then users will be given the opportunity to tweak the card for themselves, with the help of the company’s bundled AirForce panel.
