With respect to clock speeds, XFX pushes the GeForce GTX 260 (216) Black Edition to its upper limits. The GPU is clocked at 666MHz, 90MHz over stock, while the 896MB of DDR3 memory runs at 1150MHz (2300DDR), whereas reference design is spec'd at 999MHz (1998DDR). The Shader clock is also set measurably higher, at 1404MHz, whereas reference models typically run at 1242MHz. While it's not uncommon for a manufacturer to offer an overclocked version of a graphics card, the XFX GeForce GTX 260 (216) Black Edition appears to be clocked fairly aggressively in our opinion.

The card also supports PhysX and CUDA technology as well as HybridPower for pairing with integrated graphics. The XFX GeForce GTX 260 (216) Black Edition is naturally SLI ready and requires two PCI-Express power supplies for proper operation.
