MSI N260GTX Lightning Strikes 1.1 GHz Core Clock Speed Mark
It looks like MSI's beating the drums about military-grade superiority of its N260GTX Lightning over its competitors has finally come to bear some fruit. Renowned enthusiast hipro5 from Greece set a new GPU core clock-speed record for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260, with a stress-stable 1100 MHz, with its shader domain clocked at 2205 MHz. Aided with an Intel Core i7 975 XE clocked at 5.57 GHz (HTT disabled, 4 GB DDR3 memory clocked at 2064 MHz DDR), the bench stood Aquamark with scores of 392,063 points (GPU score: 71,955, CPU: 40,070). The score validation can be found here The memory of the graphics card remained at its stock frequency of 999 MHz. The same bench at slightly lower speeds of 1070/2205/999 MHz (core/shader/memory), ran 3DMark03 stable, scoring 73461 points. The stock cooler of the N260GTX however, was excluded from this feat. The HWBot record reveals that the graphics card was cooled using a liquid-nitrogen (LN2) cooler.

Do you really think this would need re-capped and re-choked? I didn't think they would have to take it that far.
I'm interested in seeing how high they can get it to run in 06 and Vantage. Anything older just doesn't do anything for me.
NVIO is nowhere near 250mm² (2.5cm²). That would be the size of a RV770. I'd say it far less than 100mm² (<< 1.0cm²).

In this link 2x OC'd 4870X2 can't beat this at aquamark although. That said thats only aquamark can't find anything else to compare.
