Sometimes faster than a stock GTX 280, the Black Edition does great things for the GTX 260:

"Of course, this is no regular GTX 260. XFX did a nice job here: the shader boost helped, but what really made this card scream is the aggressive overclocking that XFX executed here. Some overclocked cards offer a little performance boost here, and half a frame a second over there... the Black Edition however has enough of a nitro kick to propel it to another level of performance entirely."
