1gb nvidia geforce gts 250 pci express


Recommended Posts

Anything a 9800GTX+ can run.

I recommend taking a look at this round-up:

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardw...arkle-evga.html

Do note that the test system uses an i7 920 so your frame rates may not be the same as theirs.

Shift or anyone where does the 9800GTX stand is there a list of processors. To Richard I dont know the 9800GTX is that the 9800GT? And 9500GT soldier what will it run well??? And please i really need help I am about ready to spew buying a PC totally im "insert words that would get me banned".

What games do you play?

Here is a good page to study.

I am buying a whole new PC at first I only wanted to spend ?500 then it shot to ?600 and now ?655 and the graphics card is apparently not up to the job. PS want it for gaming (spore, ra3, wow, Mirrors edge, the sims 3 and windows 7 xp mode virutalisation.

For the money I would pick up the 260+ overclocked. It's pretty impressive for the money. But make sure you have a 575W power supply and a few extra connectors :)

I just picked up the 295 and its a beast. I had the 260+ and was happy but I wanted to see how much better this one was and its leaps and bounds. I don't play games that often but I work in 2650x1600 in Dual Monitor Mode and thought I would play Crysis on it. It's pretty impressive. Not sure if I would go for the SLI configuration on it. I am happy that I have the room to do it as the cards are getting massive anymore.

I like ATI as well but over the last couple of years I have moved towards Nvidia and have stayed with them since.

Good luck. As some have also recommended the GTX 260(overclocked) is a very capable card for the money.

Again Benchmarks tell me nothing I need to know X graphics card will run X game at X settings. My whole gaming PC idea is falling apart totally since I cant keep the rest of the spec I want and up the graphics.

So basically you don't understand how to use the benchmarks and table. You didn't even know how well a 9500GT performed vs a GTS 250. The whole idea of me giving you the links to the table was to educate you on the general tier's of video cards based on their performance, and the benchmarks help show you performance numbers under various conditions so you can make wise decisions of $/Performance between the various cards. It would suck to find out you spent $50 more on a card that may only bring you for example only ~3FPS more :rofl: . Certainly the games that are benchmarked are not the same ones you play, but somebody has to standardize it somewhat to create some meaningful comparisons.

And you didn't even tell us what resolution your monitor is. :pinch: You want us to help you figure out how X graphic card will run X game and X settings without giving us that information :no:

Ok ive decided finally that I will not be getting a GTS250 or below so its from the GTX260 and above has anyone got the GTX260 or above and what can you run on in and what can you run at high settings? etc

You have to be specific about high settings..

A) What resolution is native to your monitor? I have Dual 30's and they max at 2560x1600. Once you get over the 1900x1200 resolutions you are talking about some serious horsepower to run full boat on any good game title.

If you can obtain it locally and have a 15/30 day return policy get the card and see if it would work for you.

    • This makes me think of Dune for some reason.
    • I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
