I'm just wondering what the difference is between these two types of graphic cards because I'm going to be upgrading from my current graphic cards in the next 3 months. Is there a noticeable difference between the two cards in games, fps wise? Any help would be appreciated

the GTX260 core216 has more shaders (216 vs 192) and is made on the 55nm process, so the die is smaller, runs cooler, and more energy efficient. it has a premium over the cost of a regular GTX260, but does have a slight performance increase.
