XFX nVidia GeForce GTS 250 512 MB DDR3 Standard 2DVI PCI-Express Video Card GS250XYDFC

Great card! Best bang for the buck on his category! I rather like this one over HD4850 because it offers the same or better performance, better driver compatibility for gaming and less software installation hassles. I'm not a fan of driver tweaking as I really think things should all be truly plug and play, as far as possible. Also, it costs just a few bucks more than 9800GT and packs 12 more shader processors, improved manufacturing technology, less heat and better clocks. This is as good as it gets for nVidia's great G92 GPU.

Pros -This video card is very powerful. In Folding at Home, it averages around 5,500 - 6,500 points per day. In Company of Heroes, it averages with 1280 X 1024 resolution, all high settings and 4X anti-aliasing, approximately 45 - 60 frames per second (60 Hz monitor refresh rate). Runs fairly cool (approximately 60 Celsius) with fan at 70% while running Folding at Home.Cons -None yet. May be too big for Micro-ATX computer cases.Other Thoughts -All in all, a great video card. Mine came with a coupon for 3D Mark Vantage if I remember correctly.

Was able to get 60fps on Crysis and 40fps on Crysis 2. This 3way configuration allows way more data to be shared while focusing on Graphic Quality. Obviously an XFX, EVGA, or MSI board would be best for this config.

I will be buying as many of these as my computer will hold. So I have I one of 4, can't wait to see the full potential. Very fast and can handle about anything I want to play. Beautiful graphics and speed for a mid-range gaming rig.

Was looking for a lower end card that could handle BLOPS II (consistently at over 60fps with medium settings). I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything, but this definitely does the trick. I'm happy with it.

if your looking for something good for rendering and highend gaming. this is prob not the card for you, its basicly a rebranded 9800GTX will even show at GTX when starting your pc. however this card is decent for the price. If your looking to build a good budget gaming machine get 2 of them and run SLI. Otherwise id go with a GTX260 or better.

Para ser una tarjeta de gama media - alta es muy buena, puedo jugar Batman: Arkham Asylum a 1440x900 que es la resolucion de mi monitor con todo alto mas los Physx activos y va 40 fp sin problemas, lo unico es que la temperatura llega a los 75ºC, pero creo que alli puede influir el clima ya aqui en Caracas la temperatura esta entre los 32 y 35ºC. Para los que buscan una tarjeta economica, de buen rendimiento y quieren jugar como debe ser les recomiendo esta tarjeta.

Ok - I was running Empire Total War at LOW res. Why - my old 8400GT card didn't have the heft to do better. Spent the bucks to put this puppy in and La Voila! Running at High graphics - Large Units - Smoke/Fog - etc. The battlefield looks wonderful and the motion is smooth and clean. You can manage the battle and get from point to point at something more than snail pace. Wonderful -- now I wonder if I should have gotten the 260 1G card -- but this one does what I needed and I am very very happy! I will now attemp ULTRA graphics -- that is, when I get back to my home computer ;).If you've spent the money to buy high graphic content games -- then spend the money for the graphics card to support them - you will be glad you did.Windows XP (Vista Yuck-puy-gag)Nividia 190.xxx Drivers (recent release drivers)Dual Core 2.66ghz IntelAsus P5K Premium MB600 Watt Antec Power2 GB RAMResoution 1680x1050 (I think -- it is as High as my display allows!)
