Galaxy Rolls-out New GeForce GTS 250 With Faster Memory
Graphics major Galaxy pulled out another GeForce GTS 250 accelerator from its hat, this time, laying design emphasis on the cooler and memory. The new cooler design, as claimed by the company, keeps temperatures up to 5 °C cooler than what a reference-design cooler would manage. To bring about electrical stability, Galaxy used a 5-phase power circuit. Its 512 MB of GDDR3 memory is made of high-performance 0.8 ns DRAM chips made by Samsung. This, again as the company claims, offers memory overclocking headroom till 1300 MHz (2600 MHz DDR), from its stock speed of 1100 MHz (2200 MHz DDR). Its clock speeds are in tune with the reference speeds: 738/1836/2200 MHz (core/shader/memory). Its price is yet to be known.

Will a 40nm G92 be the basis for the "next-gen" GTS350 (or whatever they name it...)
:roll:
That is one of the nicest heatsink stickers I've seen. Would the Samsung memory really be much of a difference is the question.
whats wrong with this cheap fast card? Not everyone can afford a gtx260 or above as they are overly expensive.
and Mussels: I am sure that a heavy clocked GTX 250 is as fast as 1 ATI 4870 if not faster :).
I have clocked my 250 at 815mhz core, 1350mhz memory and 1960mhz shader. and i can play every games smoothly on high settings.
GTX 250 is the king.
all they did was give it better memory and the jokes come out, again.
sometimes i love you guys and sometimes...... iunno, i got over it.
G92 still rocks, and clearly has power to compete for a little while to come, a fact some of you should get used to, before the next rename :slap:
and ill say this, no matter what rabbits ATI ever pull out of their hat, Nvidia has an answer, maybe not THE answer, but an answer.
And they have been first to the punch before.
I tend to think of the gfx card market as always in motion, and only at a time of purchase should you really weigh in the bang for buck.
in any case :p cos I have (and nvidia make) the fastest card on the planet, it helps me sleep at night :)
