It's the core 192 version and it's been downclocked, it should be about on par with a 6750 or GTS 450 but it's bigger/produces more heat/uses more power/only support dx10, that's the reason for the lower price. The only advantage dolphin has at the moment from d3d11 hardware is the ability to use MSAA in the d3d11 backend, which requires d3d10.1 or higher compatible hardware. But since nobody uses the d3d11 backend that's not really much of an issue.
And no, VGA is inferior to DVI not superior. If your HDTV does not have a DVI port use a DVI to HDMI adapter with an HDMI cable (buy the HDMI cable on newegg, they sell them for $7).
No worries, the first 260 comes with an adapter.(DVI to HDMI.)
So, should I get the 3.3 ghz i3(Faster) or the one with Intel HD 3000(Better "Backup" graphics.)?
Would 200 mhz make any difference?
(Unless I need a better PSU than the one you recommended of course.)
And Oh God I hope this card is around come November.
(If not then maybe the 460's will be in the $90-$120 range? Oh please Oh please Oh please!)
