NVIDIA's 200 series of graphics cards combines cutting edge technology and advanced capabilities for best-in-class performance. The GTS250 is a balanced solution for all your graphic needs. It’s Microsoft Vista ready and equipped with a PCI-Express 2.0 interface. The GTS250 supports 3-way SLI to seriously crank your performance options by using up to three graphics cards to for insane flow rates.
The card's core clock runs at 750MHz, relieving your CPU of pixel crunching duty. Data surges through the GTS250's 128 stream processors fed by 512MB of 256-bit 2240MHz GDDR3 memory. Twin dual-linked DVI and 400 MHz RAMDAC lets you display 2560 x 1600 resolution video and graphics on even the largest monitors. Support for DirectX 10, OpenGL 3.0, NVIDIA's PureVideoHD, CUDA and PhysX-ready are built in to render even the most intense environmental effects or HD DVD video with brilliant clarity.
The GTS250 delivers fluid frame rates and HD video with solid performance. If your motherboard can take it, the GTS250 can dish it out.

Very nice
- Pros: This card is great. It may be the same as the 9800, but the reduced size, and greater power efficiency is worth the little extra.
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: Included in a $500 system I built for a friend. Awesome machine:
Intel Pentium (Core2) E6300 (Item#:N82E16819116091)(Awesome, awesome cpu for price!).
3 GB DDR2 800Mhz.
This card.
And other accessories.
Runs the following:
Aeon @ Max settings = 50-60 FPS in towns, 70-100 outside
WoW @ Max settings(low shadows) = ~40 FPS in middle of Dalaran, solid 60 FPS outside (vsync limited)
Info update
- Pros: It works.
- Cons: I couldn't buy it from Newegg and as such I overpaid.
- Other Thoughts: One reviewer said this card runs smoother than the 9800GTX+....For those that don't already know, this card IS a rebadged 9800GTX+. There is no difference between the 55nm G92 GPU on this card and the cards badged as 9800GTX+. The card does use less power, but that is caused by the use of a smaller PCB and nothing else.

Good Performance < $150
- Pros: -Runs L4D2 and MW2 on 1860x1050 at medium to high settings, with minimal framerate drops. (MW2 - Medium with no AA or AF)
-Fan isn't too loud, but you will notice it speed up during some intense usage.
-Good replacement for a failing card of somewhat similar performance (I had a 550w PSU I didn't want to pay to upgrade at the same time)
-SLI compatible for future expansion (which i'm now doing!)
- Cons: -Accessories that come with the card are minimal. DVI to VGA adapter, driver disk, 6-pin to molex power adapter, and that's about it. My previous card included all these as well as adapters for component, s-video, and RCA. It does NOT come with an SLI bridge, but those are normally provided by your motherboard manufacturer, so no worries there.
- Other Thoughts: I bought one of these to replace an 8800GTS that was artifacting, and noticed a decent increase in FPS. At the time I was limited, as I mentioned above, only having a 550w PSU, to what cards I could upgrade to. I just recently decided to upgrade my PSU and get another GTS 250 and SLI them.
Also, I'm using this card in a PCIe 1.0 motherboard, so I'm probably missing out on bandwidth through the bus. I promised myself I wouldn't buy a new machine until 2011, so these cards in SLI will suffice until then.
Amazing.
- Pros: Card has simply amazed me since the first second I took it out of the box. Runs CSS, L4D, WoW...pretty much every game I could throw at it, and it just chewed it up and did it at very high frames :P
- Cons: None that I have noticed, sound might be an issue for some, but my computer is already noisy so it doesn't bother me.
- Other Thoughts: Card is definitely worth the price.
Fail Card and Return of Fail Card
- Pros: Pretty sticker?
BFG sent me a new card fairly quickly (that was even worse than the one I sent them).
- Cons: Card failed, instantly powering down my system in seven minutes while running any 3D game, from Quake 1 (yes, Quake ONE) to TF2.
RMA'd card with BFG (it's their card, it's their responsibility, or so I reasoned).
New card arrives, new card powers down my system in THREE minutes. That is not the direction things were supposed to go.
Card is going back to Newegg on Monday.
- Other Thoughts: First and last BFG card I will buy. I paid for a new video card on the first of October, it is now the 25th. This is NOT acceptable.
Tech support people were.... moderately helpful, but seemed annoyed to be on the phone at all.
