Galaxy GeForce GTS 250 1 GB Review
Packaging & Contents »Introduction
Last week NVIDIA released their GeForce GTS 250 series. As most of you already know the cards are based on the existing G92 GPU which has been used on a wide range of GeForce 8800 and 9800 cards before. The only novelty, if you can call it that, is that there is a 1 GB version available now. We also reviewed the 2 GB Palit exclusive card and saw that there is no need for such a card yet.
Galaxy has chosen to use an Arctic Cooling Accelero TwinTurbo cooler on their card, instead of the reference GeForce GTS 250 cooler which should hopefully make for a quieter experience. What is even better is that according to Galaxy the price of the card will not be higher than NVIDIA's MSRP of $149.
