my thoughts 4870 crossfire wow
So yeah. I guess I'll just keep my 8800gt g92 core for a little while longer. I mean, dont get me wrong. The price cuts are amazing, getting a gfx card that can run 16x12 for ~150 bills is KILLER, but when your old 88gt still preforms on a level of 4850s (once overclocked anyways)...whats the point in 'upgrading'?GTS 250 can be SLI'd with 9800 GTX+ -- NVIDIA usually disables SLI with different device IDs, but this is an exception.
If you've got a 9800 GTX+ 512MB you can SLI it with a GTS 250. If you have a 9800 GTX+ 1GB you can SLI it with a GTS 250 1GB. You can't mix memory sizes though.
Also, the 9800 GTX+ and the GTS 250 are completely identical and there is no reason to put two in a system and test them because they are the same card with a different name. At least until NVIDIA's partners release GTS 250s based on the updated board, but even then we don't exepct any performance difference whatsoever.
These numbers were run with a 9800 GTX+ and named GTS 250 to help show the current line up.
Being that cheap it almost makes me want to get one. Too bad my 8800 GT still runs anything I throw at it![]()
Just glad I have yet to upgrade from my 8800GT Akimbo!

Yawn much? The past 18 months has been so underwhelming for graphics cards.
