yea they're pretty much the same

Which brings us to today and the introduction of yet another graphics card based on the G92 GPU, the GeForce GTS 250. This is probably the card that, by all rights, the 9800 GTX+ should have been, because it consolidates the gains that switching to a 55nm fab process can bring. Although its base clock speeds remain the same as the 9800 GTX+—738MHz for most of the GPU, 1836MHz for the shaders, and 1100MHz (or 2200 MT/s) for the GDDR3 memory—the GeForce GTS 250 is a physically smaller card, at nine inches long rather than 10.5", and it has but a single six-pin auxiliary power connector onboard.
I would get whatever has the best price

the 9800 GTX+ has a faster core clock but in terms of the GPU are they the same?

Pretty much. The GTS250 has a barely anymore perfomance. The 9800GTX should be cheaper now so get them. Unless you find the GTS250 around the same price then get the GTS250 because its newer.


Its kinda up to you to choose they are essentialy the same thing.
