ASUS’s Matrix video cards have always been pretty top-end cards, and FiringSquad has their new ENGTX260 on the table for some benchmarks. Their final result:
Considering that Republic of Gamers is supposed to be ASUS’ flagship offering, we’d like to see ASUS at least clock their Republic of Gamers cards at the same clock speeds as their factory OC’ed TOP boards. Historically ASUS’ TOP boards have shipped with the fastest clock speeds ASUS offers, but they often rely on the stock ATI/NVIDIA cooling units also. In our opinion, Republic of Gamers Matrix boards should offer the best of both worlds: top overclocking performance, mixed with the very best cooling and software utilities.
Right now ASUS’ Matrix boards only deliver on two out of three of these categories.
Even with that, they still give it high praise and a 95%.
