The Gainward GeForce GTX 260 Goes Like Hell is a faster version of the Golden Sample card, which we've tested few weeks ago. This time around however, you see two suffixes meaning Golden Sample and Goes Like Hell. This suffix is used with only the fastest Gainward boards, and it goes a long way towards explaining how fast they are. The GLH's core runs at +650MHz, which is 75MHz higher than the reference GeForce GTX 260. As far as memory goes, the GLH's memory is overclocked by 400MHz effectively, and so now runs at 2400MHz effectively. The plus sign is there to denote that there's room for additional overclocking, and that Gainward made sure it packs only the top parts that can take it. - FudZilla

Gainward GeForce GTX 260 GLH Edition Card Review

The aforementioned GeForce GTX 260 Golden Sample graphics card revealed that Gainward ended up using its dual slot cooling with two fans and just a redesigned PCB. The Goes Like Hell didn't change much from its predecessor, as it still features the same design and general looks of the GeForce GTX 260 Golden Sample cards, with a slight color difference on the cooler. The GLH card has more black and less red on it. Apart from this, there are no visible changes on the cooler. And seeing such high memory speed, we were wondering whether Gainward used different memory, but we found the same Samsung 0.8ns chips.

Although the GLH is already overclocked by about 75MHz, an additional 75MHz core overclock was a piece of cake. We managed to push the card to 725MHz, and found that the plus in the name is obviously not there just for the kicks. Additionally, we gave the memory a push as well, by 100MHz. The Gainward GeForce GTX 260 Goes Like Hell is one of the fastest GeForce GTX 260 cards out there, and its core ticks at 75MHz higher frequencies than on the reference card. Now that, coupled with 2400MHz memory, resulted in higher scores by about thirteen percent on average which is an excellent result as such.

Gainward's dual slot cooling handles temperatures well, and is at the same time quieter than reference cooling. The GeForce GTX 260 Goes Like Hell is a faster version of the Golden Sample video card we've tested and awarded earlier. We checked the availability of the Goes Like Hell and the card is available for $275. And a $275 price point would've been great if you wanted this card few months back, but the GeForce GTX 260 prices have in the meantime dropped. At the time of our testing, Gainward's GeForce GTX 260 Golden Sample was priced at $249, which is a bit more than you will have to pay for the reference card.

The cheapest GeForce GTX 260 version now however, is priced at $199, and the aforementioned Golden Sample can be purchased for $239. Again the Gainward GeForce GTX 260 scores great in our gaming and overclocking tests, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a great graphics card for gaming, despite its somewhat high price compared to the rest of GeForce GTX 260's available on the market.
