Nvidia GeForce GTS 250

The GeForce GTS 250 is an upper-midrange product from Nvidia’s 10th generation graphics card specification. The GeForce GTS 250 is a rebranded GeForce 9800 GTX+, which in turn was originally based on the GeForce 8800 GTS. Compared to its predecessor, the GeForce GTS 250 features lower power requirements due to its redesigned PCB, and produces marginally less heat. The GTS 250 only requires one six-pin connector. This graphics card is available in a 1GB (DDR3) configuration, therefore offering increased performance over 512MB-only 9800 GTX+ cards in mostly higher resolution game settings. This card’s default configuration has a core clock at 738MHz, a stream processor clock at 1836MHz, and a memory clock at 1100MHz. The GeForce GTS 250 is DirectX 10 compatible, can be used in SLI configuration, and is compatible with Nvidia’s PhysX and CUDA technologies.
