Nvidia GTS 250 Reviewed.....

[shaikh_imtiaj]

Nvidia's new rebranded gpu GTS 250 is reviewed by techpowerup and guru3d. They reviewed the Palit GTS250 2GB. The outcome is not so great. Its give better performance than 9800gtx but priced at 199$ which i think quite hefty as 4870 will be found at 150$ from next week which way better than this. Moreover it requires more power than 9800gtx.

Its simply a 9800GTX+ with more memory, and this will only pay off in very high resolutions which this GPU isnt even capable of playing smoothly at

hence i stand by what i said, 9800GTX+ = GTS250

(note that in the review at techpowerup, it was compared with the 9800GTX, not the 9800GTX+ which is what this card basically is)

edit: read this review, the starting paragraph tells about all the rebranding and its also pitted against the 9800GTX+ and also i tend to trust anand more. They conclude:

We've recommended the 4850 over the 9800 GTX+ in the past, and we'll continue to do so now that it's called the GTS 250. But the extra memory does help out, especially if the card is to be used for 1920x1200 on a budget (or maybe with an HDTV)
