Happy GTS 250 launch day.

If you are thinking about buying a GTS 250 you can read our Palit GTS 250 1GB review and then pick your favorite from the list below. I suppose you could buy them all if want to get your Christmas shopping done early...and if you are crazy. I am sad to see that only two of these are selling at MSRP.

UPDATE: Because of Casecutter's comment I updated the list below. The Sparkle and Gigabyte cards both fell $25, the XFX fell $20, the BFG fell $15, and the stock Evga 1GB fell $10. Woot! I updated the 4850 and 4870 prices located two posts down as well.

No #1 you need a tri-alpha desination (not MX) may I suggest POS? At those prices the Big Green Machine just layed a turd. lol
The 512Mb version doesn't appear to be any better than a premium OC'd version of the 9800GT, while 1Gb won't fly off the self until you see a $140 -AR pricing.. thud!

Opps spoke to soon just checked Egg and many dropped $10 bucks from Steve's posted price. Whew that's better... a standard EVGA 1Gb would have not have cut-it at $167 shipped

i don't enjoy the fact that nvidia is rebranding the same tech, for the third time no less, and the cards sell for 30-40 more than if you just purchased the older version (errr, the same version, just an updated bios i'm sure :P )

i've said "MX 200" cause GeForce 2 MX 200 :)
i wanted to be a bit ironic..

AVaLaNcHe - It Green Marketing Mentality its senseless.
For the right price (not $150) the 1Gb would lure me in with there low Idle power comsumption, as it would payback over time while the GXT with 1gb are non existent.

i think nvidia will have to re-adjust all its price points again

Now, A whole week in the market and Nvidia has a mish-mash of cards and pricing that's just bewildering. Egg's got 60 - 9XXX series cards, and 15 - GTS versions all at a mis-mash of iterlacing price points. To figure out in that mess which card is a bang-for-buck leader is daunting... How does this help a customer, the retailers, the AIB's or even Nvidia...? To me it sure looks like there's got to be some blood letting really quick on a bunch of 9XXX series cards or the introduction of the RV470 will really render them mute in the market.
