SiliconDoc - Wednesday, Malink The problem is even on all the other computer hardware, a naming scheme NEVER tells the avid consumer which one is really better.I'm a total gamer, i watch heaps of HD anime, as well as compute & web browse. Your review did not do the ATI 4850 1GB card or go into any details on High Definition 1080p uses, i would like a comparison and review of HDCP, 1080p, and clarity of displayed text on a HD ready test system. Currently, i have a very hot, noisy, power hog (ATI's X1900XTX) that i want to replace.Ī nVidia GTS250 or ATI 4850 are in my price range and are roughly double the performance i have now, i am connecting to a very large HD Ready display and i want to watch HD movies, game, and compute without problems. I also think dual slot exhaust is needed in my case. Low heat & power & noise are very important to me. I have only one dual slot and one 2圆 video card power supply, so i want to choose one of the two 1GB cards from ATI/nVidia (250 vs. I want a newer HD Ready/DX10/Shader4 card, and it has to work in a SFF case. I hope it is updated with some more focus on people who have my set of concerns, see below. Core Core - Monday, Aplink I'm glad this review was done, it really has given me more data on which card to buy.These are the biggest gains you'll see from this GPU today. Note that you need to have the new board design to be guaranteed the power savings, so for now we can only say that the GTS 250 1GB will translate into power savings: There's only one PCIe power connector on the new GTS 250 1GB boards The components on the board draw a little less power all culminating in a GPU that will somehow contribute to saving the planet a little better than the Radeon HD 4850. With GPU and GDDR3 yields higher, power is lower and board costs can be driven down as well. While the GPU is still a 55nm G92b, this is a much more mature yielding chip now than when the 9800 GTX+ first launched and thus power consumption is lower. The 512MB cards will sell for $129 while the 1GB cards will sell for $149. The new board design isn't required for the 512MB cards unfortunately, so chances are that those cards will just be rebranded 9800 GTX+s. If you get the 1GB version, it's got a brand new board design that's an inch and a half shorter than the 9800 GTX+: For all intents and purposes, this thing should perform like a 9800 GTX+. The core and shader clocks remain the same at 738MHz and 1.836GHz respectively. You can get it with either 512MB or 1GB of GDDR3 memory, both clocked at 2.2GHz. Note that this was the smallest name change in the timeline up to this point, but it was the biggest design change this mild overclock was enabled by a die shrink to 55nm.Īll of that brings us to today where NVIDIA is taking the 9800 GTX+ and calling it a GeForce GTS 250. NVIDIA introduced a slightly faster version of the 9800 GTX called the 9800 GTX+. The trip gets a little more trippy when you look at what happened on the eve of the Radeon HD 4850 launch. Now this made sense, but only if you ignored the whole this was an 8800 GT to begin with thing. Then they overclocked the 8800 GTS and it turned into the 9800 GTX. The original 8800 GT, well, it became the 9800 GT. It was more expensive, but we were still happy. Then, we then got a faster version: the 8800 GTS 512MB. In the beginning there was the GeForce 8800 GT, and we were happy.
