"founders edition" piss poorly translated chinese for stock reference nvidia design.
this card is a bigger leap forward than nvidia has been putting out since the GTX2XX series debuted.
lower power, greater performance this is as big as the 750ti's that didn't need auxiliary power connectors or maybe nvidia has been holding out on us since they made that card.
either way this is a series card you can upgrade to and not feel bad about it costing $300 and $500 because that would be the price of the GTX2XX series adjusted for devaluation of the dollar today when you could buy the GTX260 for $89 and the GTX270 for $179 and the GTX280 for $289 in 2008.
i will say there is going to be much better models from this chip in the future due ot it's 256bit bus and the GTX2XX series being 448bit to 512bit memory bus interface, so we know automatically these memory interfaces can be doubled with the massive power decreases

Pros: What can I say. I am just totally satisfied with how awesome the improvement is going from 2x 8800GTX's in SLi to 2x GTX 260's in SLi. I see improvements in all my games not to mention being able to play Crysis with everything set to "very high" @ 4xAA and still getting a good 25-40 FPS ( Big improvement over my 8800's ). ALthough 25-48 FPS doesnt sound like much but for Crysis it is still very playable and with all the bells and whistles turned on it just rocks. CoD4 i am getting 75-140+ FPS, I have yet to see the FPS drop below 75 in CoD4.
