good gaming card.

based on the reviews... of course. it slightly outperforms it and costs a fair bit less

wouldnt you just be able to overclock it back to those specs then? i dont see the point in this; its still the same chip

When the new ones are released the prices of the 9800GTX+'s should plummet. |

yeah its the same chip... just dont pay too much for a gt 250 because they are the exact same as a 9800
most likely the best deals are going to be on the 9800s so may be a good time to jump on one... altho ATI has a lot of really great choices in this price range too...
Either way you can't go wrong right now.. its a good time for gpu buyers

i thought the gts 250 was 55nm so it would consume less power and overclock a tad bit more

9800 GTX+ was also 55nm.
GTS 250 is a rebrand, but will lower MSRP plus the possibility of a higher memory clocked 1GB version. Basically as good or better than 9800 GTX+ for less money. Lowering price without reducing performance is a good thing, right?

Ati shoudl also be coming out with the 47xx's late April (or so?) so prices should fluctuate like crazy in the next two months. Time to go Crossfire and Sli people! |
