Be sure to read this because it may contain answers to your questions!

This is the slower/older 192 processing core GTX 260.

The newer versions have 216 processing cores. (And is a noticeably faster)

Still a good deal nonetheless.

----
Actually everyone who got this card is reporting that it is a core 216 shader version in a regular box.

The cheapest 216 version that includes FarCry 2 is $260 shipped:

Or $240 without FarCry 2

When set at the same clock speeds, the difference is only 1-3% (Some sites that benched the new GTX against the old used new cards clocked @ 650 on the core).

It's generally agreed that the higher price for the 216 is not justified and is mostly marketing.

When set at the same clock speeds, the difference is only ~1 or 2 fps. It's generally agreed that the higher price for the 216 is not justified and its mostly marketing at work.
