“The ENGTX260Matrix is a very interesting card for those wanting the ultimate in cooling for their video cards. Two fans allow the card to reach 650MHz by overclocking the card via iTracker. You get the ASUS quality hardware and software. Hybrid Cooler works as advertised, causing the fans to be idle when the card was idle. A solid bundle for hardware and software completes this package. It’s interesting to note that performance on the card came close to that of the GTX 275 in some cases. Depending on what price point this card hits the market ASUS may have a winner.”Here are some more Graphics Card articles from around the web:

The ASUS ENGTX260MATRIX
might be an incredible value, dependant on the price tag that comes with it. The dual fans allow ASUS to pump this card
to a 576MHz core with 999MHz memory, the maze of heatpipes that are underneath the fans certainly help as well. What that translates into is performance similar to the heavily overclocked MSI Black Lightning Edition GTX260, within a few fps of the performance of a stock GTX275. It is possible that a true GTX275 might have a bit more overhead when it comes to overclocking, but for those who would rather leave things alone this review at motherboards.org is highly recommended.
