Galaxy GeForce GTS 250 Video Card

[bay193unbox]

GeForce 9800GT = GeForce GTS 250

It's just an old card in new box.

[3Target33]

GTS 250 CLUB!

[iceshadow238]

should i buy this for gaming?



[DAVERUKY]

@iceshadow238 no

[ROBATORE]

@iceshadow238 Yes!

[bay193unbox]

@iceshadow238 definitely no

[ROBATORE]

@bay193unbox right so this guys is talking about this card for shits & giggs huh?.....

[SuperAdventureGaming]

@RaduCartitaBoy That's because your mother does not love you.

[xtremegamerzz96]

wilb6676 ..... this card is 100 times better than that creppy 9500 gt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VibrateZzz]

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[nelizmastr]

ive got the palit version. only requires 1 pci-e 6-pin XD

[vannaratha]

@RaduCartitaBoy so which manufacture do u think is better

[vannaratha]

does the manufacture matters?

[wilb6657]

Hey is this card bigger than the 9500GT? I currently have a 9500 Geforce Galaxy with one gig of video memory.

I want to update to a one gig version of of this card, but I'm afraid it won't fit in my tower. Can anyone help me out? If my tower can fit the 9500 GT, can it fit this card?

[PandaUzumaki]

I have a Gigabyte GeForce GTS 250...and i think is better than this Galaxy version.

I have on it, DVI port, normal blue thing port and the normal Gold plated HDMI port. I don't have S-Video, but i don't think u really need it, at least i don't. In rest...i got only a HDMI adapter for DVI and 3D glasses, and those power cables... But it looks cooler than this and i recomand it! And yea, is very good for a graphic card.

[liam0006]

can you record video through the component in?

[LB10671]

lol gtx 250 for mid range ROFL

[01Wrong01]

this card suck really

[MegaFoch]

@01Wrong01 this card is actually verry good !

[gameswindows]

Nice look!

[TheAntman2006]

luv my gts 250 most reliable card ive ever owned

[MrKillswitch88]

The good old G92 which comes to show that you can't keep a good dog down. I got two and they are fantastic gpus. Plus they have the edge over most cards when it comes to textures.

[tyhod123]

i got this card for my birthday and it owns. i can play modern warfare 2 on the highest settings for the graphics and it has NO lag. i recommend this card for games like mw2 and WoW

[halolova1122]

@tyhod123 WoW doesnt need that good of a card to run max setting with no lag. just sayin ;P

[LB10671]

@halolova1122 it always depends on the resolution., stop opening that can of shit you call your mouth.

[Watchme12311]

i got it for 50 bucks suck it and itds new

[amindumaru]

@Watchme12311 lmao gratz this shits old

[Watchme12311]

@amindumaru ty i got it for an amazing price :D

[gamingguy1995]

I GOT IT BUT WITH THE NEW FAN

[halolova1122]

i got this same EXACT card and mine looks different lol.. idk why.. (and yes, its galaxy)

[gamingguy1995]

@halolova1122 i have one too is the fan diferent? thers a new one with the new FAN WITCH I HAVE

[halolova1122]

@gamingguy1995 oh yeah, i probably got that... well actually, i got the one with 1gb of ddr3..

[halolova1122]

@halolova1122 oops.. i ment gddr3 xD

[selo2010]

the tehnology in this card is old 40nm rulz low power consumption and high overclock

[SpadeAce90]

8800GT=8800GTS=9800GT=9800GTX=­9800GTX+=250 GTS

[Chillehhhh]

love this card

[Roybalboa]

hey . can i play call of duty 4 modern warfare, call of duty modern warfare 2, tom clancy's splinter cell, and max payne 3 with this video card and Intel(r) pentium(r) 1.50gb of ram and 1.80Ghz ? pls reply :)

[skaterboii786]

@Roybalboa your ram and ghz is low.... but on my comp....

i have 3.0ghz core i5 8gb ddr3 ram 1tb hd.... and same card....

i get over 60fps on all those almost constantly. so for you most likely 40+fps all times.... so yes you can for sure l;]

[Roybalboa]

@skaterboii786 so you mean can i play call of duty modern warfare with this video card and with my aspecs ?

[jv4live]

HMM.. i have the GTS250 with 1GB GDDR3 of Palit..

AMD X2 AM3 4* 2,8 GHz .. its very cool :D

[dricaboy12]

hey dude why dont you test gigabyte gts250.its a great graphic card.core clock from 738MHz to 765 MHz .clock raises as you play games but when you are not playing them it lowers the clock to save power.1GB GDDR3 memory, very big and cool cooler.you get 1vga port,1dvi port and 1 hdmi port.important thing test this one:GV-N250OC-1GIrev2.0

[17dumitru]

gts250 is faster than any 9800gtx ?

[Usul573]

@17dumitru

The GTS 250 is a 9800 GTX+

both at 738, 1836, 2200 and 55 nm while the 9800 GTX was

675, 1688, 2200 and 65 nm

[Usul573]

@Usul573

There's several versions of each of the three cards though.

[ThaDK00]

CANT WAIT for this card! its so cheap dude... and its takes the radeon 4870 anal! and the molex cables are awesome, can i run this card at 420Watt? i got only 1x2gb and dualcore and 1 dcdrive and 1 harddrive

[kipdokken]

how much did nvidia paid for this review?

[ThaDK00]

@kipdokken a videocard, they gave him the videocard for free

[maxcor3]

is this the NVIDIA - GEFORCE GTS250 - 1GB??

[MYMAnarchy]

Yeah, man :))

[MegaRAMHarddisk]

@maxcor3 he said 512mb of gddr3

[deadsnowman83]

Maybe someone here can help me galaxy support is hard as hell to get ahold of

I just purchased this graphic and the color is just fine for about 30 minutes then the screen gets a green tint to it and wont go away can anyone help me???

[godzillaoo7]

mayb replace the dvi cable

[deadsnowman83]

thanks that actually was the problem but i figured it out a few days ago

[popothecatathome]

if you spent 119 euros for that card you got ripped off

[Run3scaped]

@popothecatathome why? what other card do u recomed?

[Axemasta]

This card is a bad one to recomend. For £119 I got a zotac gts 250, 1gb wig core clock 850mhz, memory clock 2300mhz and shader at 1890mhz

[NavyAviation2016]

go for the GTS 250 1GB DDR3, it performs much better than the 512mb variation and is a bit newer, and a bit mroe reliable too..by the way for those of you who don't like the cooling fans on the card you can always replace them and that'll resolve it obviously.

[Johntsarev]

cooler is shit... don't take that... buy better this card from Gainward, Palit or MSI, they have nice coolers

[SHNetnis]

COOL COOLER??? Wtf... I've got this card (galaxy geforce gts 250) and its hot as hell when im doing nothing on pc... ;/

[using192]

@SHNetnis and what when u are doing something?

[wwyk1993]

@SHNetnis I think he means cool looking.

[hateWinVista]

@wwyk1993

yeah...Galaxy's graphic cards have cool cooler design such as the one on GT240.

[AeroFix94]

@SHNetnis clean it from dust lol! and important that you have good air condition

[k3nzh1n082]

0:35 - so this card uses 2x of PCI express power connectors?

[Joshua277456]

Yeah

[addict9009]

just got the 1GB version. it doesnt have the s-video output.

[adeelgangster]

I dont like this video card. I bought a brand-new one, it worked for 20-30 mins... was playin' crysis at full and suddenly.. BAM! My computer turn off. I tried turning on but NO DISPLAY.. Fan was spinning at full speed. I tried my old card and it worked.. Glalaxy didnt honor the warrenty b/c they told me its starts after 30 days (becuase store warrenty is 30 days)..

[gamepro127onPSN]

I got this for $75 in my $625 quad-core rig with a monitor

[AidanNagolxxx]

I must be a geek, because I actually know half of the stuff he's talking about.

[adeelgangster]

lol

[BetaOverclocking]

4870 pwns this. Better Perfomance/Price/Looks.

Fuck Nvidia, cant manage the TDP as well as ATI.

[vancar6]

@BetaOverclocking

not to debate but i dont think ati has physx! :/

[BetaOverclocking]

PhysX isn't all that. Either is CUDA. I'd rather have a card that has a better price/performance. ATI can run PhysX but until someone can crack it, Nvidia has it blocked.

[NOXXism]

WTF? Why does this card require two 6-pin pcie connectors? Nowadays they only need one? And two of these will run in almost any decent psu and will beat one gtx 285

[xXForgott3nXx]

XFX 4870 any good?

[kimivenkat84]

XFX 4870 is good.. but 5850 is better than 4870 with DX11 support

[kimivenkat84]

Guys.....GTX 260 is better than GTS 250..

GTX 260 has more no of stream processors and memory bit interface than 250GTS

GTS 250 is nothing but new 9800GTX+ with 55nm and it runs cooler than 9800GTX+ with increased clock frequency,,,,,

[2merdrags]

NOOOOOOO SHITTTTTTTTTT albnert just said that in the video LOLOOOL

[Ultravideoslave]

@2merdrags when does he say that?

[adeelgangster]

agree.. I hate GTS 250 becuase they just renamed it  just to earn a couple of more bucks.. Poor NVIDIA!

[Usul573]

You can get an overclocked GTS 250 with 1024 MB GDDR3 RAM for $99 after a rebate, so it's a very powerful card for a good price.

[shantanu1320]

Hey guys what do you'll think of this system-

Processor- Quad Core Intel Q8400

HD- Seagate 500 GB @ 720MoBo- Biostar T-Power I45

RAM- Kingston Hyper X 4 GB

Graphics- Zotac GTX 260

[alltimegamer247]

GALAXY GeForce GTS 250 Video Card w/ FREE World of Warcraft Game & 3D Vision Bundle $100 and i got it! its at compusa and it has hdmi dvi and vga

[CubeLuda]

No it's not. The 4850 is comparable to a 8800GT.

And no, the 8800GT is no where near a 9800GTX+ (GTS250) before you go ahead and say that.

The 8800GT is 600/1800 the GTS250 is 750/2200. Thats a big difference. It also uses 55nm aposed to the 95nm the 8800GT uses.

The 4850 is @ 625/1850 be defult. So it's not comparable.

[kidowner]

dont talk about specs talk about benchmarks. the 4850 compares to the 9800GTx

[CubeLuda]

In most cases yes, but you need to understand is the GTS250 is cheaper, runs cooler, is slightly faster... And overall not to much of a shabby card.

4850 is good, but to expensive, runs hot and loud (with stock) And you just may about to reach a GTS250 level in some points.

Overall, GTS250 is the way to go. Otherwise, get a 4870 instead of a 4850, the 4870 will wipe the floor of the GTS250 without question.

[unox234]

yea, its a really good card if you play at 1600x1200 or something

[LcL1314]

I next week want buy it in 1gb ddr3~xD

[Lopeselopes]

Hey people..

I have a Intel-Pentium 4 (3.0Mhz)

2G DDR400, my motherboard runs ddr400, can i exchange for ddr2 1066?

A have a XFX GeForce GTS250 also..

my doubt is whether it can exchange DDR400 by ddr2?

[Daviddagr8]

no you can't, DDR ram has 186pins whereas DDR2 has 240 so it won't fit in the slot. I would recomend you upgrade your motherboard and get a new cpu or buy a new pc if you want to make the most of the gts250's performance

[CubeLuda]

You made no sence.

[kevincrutchley]

Thise card went in to my garbage long time ago wonder ware is it now i gess its some ware in canada

[GoldPatrol]

the 9800GTX+ is the cheaper one?? and how much for it? and for GTS250?

[GoldPatrol]

ofcourse the 9800GTX+ .... its not as same price as 250GTS.... and the 9800GTX+ is a high overclock beast!!! my 9800GTX XFX Black Edition is factory clocked at 760 and i overclocked it to 850 no problem.......... GTS250 is same as 9800GTX+ but it ahve smaller heatsink which means more heat although its 55 NM so it might not overheat that much... although go for cheaper

[mafia1911]

buy gainward gts 250.......it never reaches over 65 degrease and fan is silent and never excedes over 60% of RPM

my spec:

intel pentium 4 LGA 775 1mb L2 3.2 ghz

gigabayte i945gzm-s2

2x1 gb ddr2 667(800) mhz

gainward GTS 250 512 mb ddr3

chieftec 550w PSU

cooler master gladiator 600 case

i am realy happy with results of this card even with my old cpu and mbo

[lizard0manson]

Does Ghostbusters works fine with a sli dual configuration of these babies?

[sani12care88]

i guess this card + my corsair 450W HX Psu +1 HD + 1 DVD ROM + AMD Phenom Quad 9650+

will do i guess??

[declaration963]

upgrade your PSU to 500 - 600 Watt for better performance

[Morozez]

i have the 1g model its way bigger than tht lol

[TeamIain]

im getting the 1GB model, ordered it 10 minutes ago! i hear its smaller, and i know it looks better then that one, but who cards bout how it looks :D

[flyingkid99]

people going to lan partys

[DJShadowKing]

i recommend buying this graphics card. look at my channel, ive got vids of performance with this card.

[PsalmLove]

uh, how are you going to go 3D with nvidia's glasses when a 120hz monitor requires 60hz dvi outputs?

[PsalmLove]

i meant *two* 60hz dvi outputs :P

[torentmonkey]

nice ...but u should put some benchs ,,,, just fraps and crysis ...... not too hard

[mrfadi]

watch?v=ak6JYQaJEkE

[Tyster511]

sex is nice

[killerclown789]

yes it is :)

[manwithbananaphone]

so random lol

[BuddyProducers]

@Tyster511 oui

[QTRJOKER94]

yeah logan was the best!

[devil952]

logan read what was wrote for him and he threw up some benches.

but he was a funny guy.

[neyo92]

Doesn't this guy ever talk about Benchmarks? I mean I need some fps show.... I don't need to know what I can find in the box, I can just search it in google... or ask the seller... Logan was good....lol

[kwamectc]

do you think I can run this at 450 watts with a 33 amps in 12v rail? without problem? or crashing during games? I only have a one pci-e 6-pin plug.

[Xelvielll]

yeah u good, this card pulls less power than a GTX+

it does about 160 on the full load, hell even less. I doubt this card will use more than 14 amps.

[torentmonkey]

dude this uses around 23-24 amps ....u sould document before cause u may make someoane to badly choose his psu

[Xelvielll]

dude, a GTS 250 DOES NOT USE 23-24 amps.

A fuckin 9800 GTX/8800 GTX/8800 ULTRA Doesn't even use 20 amps.

a 250 uses around 15 amps tops.

[torentmonkey]

no reason to argue but i mesured its peak at 23.9 A with asus probe so don't say that

[Xelvielll]

oh and btw this is the old one, the new gts 250's only have 1 6 pin pcie connector

[Gripen90]

The GTS 250 and 9800GTX+ run at the same frequencies - gesh when will you start doing some research TigerDirectBlog !!!

GF 9800 GTX+ 738Mhz core, 1836Mhz shader, 1100Mhz memory 512MB 256-bit 128 shader units.

[boredninjabrothers]

can this video card run crysis on high settings without lag?

[SgtMustang]

Probably not, the GTX 295 might even have problems with that.

[toshineon]

Depends on your resolution.

[asus3571]

yes it can i have a bfg oc1gig version and it crysis defaults to the high settings lot of people have been bashing this card but so far its a great performer and at under200 a great card

[1Crysis16]

Hey, my 9800GT runs Crysis on High with no lag. High settings is not DX10, so you can run Crysis on those settings on XP.

No problem.

And btw, GTX 295 HAS NO PROBLEM ON CRYSIS HIGH SETTING!!!

[evenk93]

no.....

[boredninjabrothers]

thnx for all the comments but i have chosen to go with the evga gtx 260 core 216 sc edition. after seeing my friends gtx 260 sc edition run crysis on high settings i thought the core 216 would be a better nd smarter choice

[URBANCH1LL]

i have one 6 pin pci connecter on my psu but not a second. and i also have like 6 female molex connecters but no male connector in my pc. does this card come with 2 male connecters or female? because to give it the power it needs i need to fill the second 6 pin slot and i can only do this if it comes with a male connector!

[gschreiber94]

could this work with a 450w? and could yuou use a 6-pin for 1 power port, and the converter for the other one?

anyone please reaply, thanks

[knakkerrrrrr]

nope it needs a minimum of 500W

[pamew]

This was awful. he just read off a series of specs,

He also didn't mention if this was the 1GB version or 512mb version, the difference being that an entirely new board is being used for the 1GB version. try harder next time mmkay?

[LiLBoy1221]

Reading off the box, its the 512mb version, however it would've been nice for him to of just mentioned it :P

[pamew]

true :)

[Sannyboy45]

Guys i have 4GB RAM DDR2 and that graphics card ddr3 and it works perfectly

[xboxbenny]

the cards memory and ur computers memory dont have anything to do with eachother

[pamew]

It doesn't matter if you have different types of DDR on your ram/graphics card :)

it isn't a compatibility issue unlike other parts.

[niceboy60]

Guys the gts 250 is much faster than a 260 gtx

The texture fill rate Is all it Matters and on this card is very high

Gts 250 Texture fill rate per second 47.2 Billion = (More than 3-7fps on crysis on every setting)

Gtx 260 Texture fill rate per second only 36.9 Billion = less 3-7 fps on Crysis

[cybershot70]

Dongle

[carrodecorrida005]

i have a 9800 gt 512 MB but it was bought in december or in the beggining of the year

can i run 3d vision ?

and if 9800 = 8800 why doesnt 8800 suport it ?

[LiLBoy1221]

He said 9800 and up, so yeah you can run it. As for the 8800, i have a 88gt, and i suppose you can flash the bios with the 9800 bios, since they're pretty much the same. Then it might work, if it already doesn't which im not sure since i don't have Geforece 3d Vision.

[pamew]

That would almost certainly destroy the card. essentially the same card but they're fabricated in totally different ways. also a lot of nvidia units can't be flashed by home users if I remember right, only flashed ATI x800's before myself.

[daytondavid2008]

I am going to be doing my very first build soon. I am on a budget so I'm going with a micro atx AMD board. It has pci exp x16 and all that good jazz. But my question is this: is ddr3 GPU's and ddr3 RAM backwards compatible with the board. It says it is ddr2 for RAM and etc. Someone send me a message to my email on here to let me know thanks!

[bigrigross]

what board are you getting, certain boards are but there are very few. i can actually help you with making a good computer if you need help.

[kristofeh]

not exactly sure what you mean but the card has ddr3 memory on it and it doesn't matter what ddr your motherboard supports, as it's just what the card uses and it runs through the pci-e slot. if you mean system memory then if you want ddr3 you'll need a motherboard that supports ddr3.

[CrusaderU2K]

what the hell does mid range gaming mean? medium settings or something, because i am sure these high end cards are meant for high end gaming.

Also, how come they arent doing anymore benchmarks anymore?

[srx08]

He means no Crysis or Farcry 2 at max settings. He means games in the 2-3 year range. Anything from World of Warcraft to Doom 3 to Fallout 3 should run fine at high settings. It actually runs Crysis and other demanding games fairly well on high settings at high settings at a 1680 x 1050 resolution or below, which means most people will be ok.

The higher cost graphics chips are meant for people with 1080p and higher resolution monitors.

[srx08]

Oh, they also stopped doing benchmarks after Logan left. Just google the card, Tom's hardware does excellent benchmarks.

[elfslay]

I don't like the back of this thing. I mean, the whole goal of getting more compatibility by including S-Video, DVI as well as HDMI is good, but for me personally, it would mean getting another adapter to use both of my monitors.

[Nipton80]

GTS.. sorry XD

[Nipton80]

guys... the GTX 250 is the same as a 9800GTX+ so go and watch those vid for Benchmarks.. Albert isent gonna say the same benchmarks all the time for eatch and every video of the same card.

[arni291]

agreed

[zafert85]

lame no fucking benchs again

[CRYSIS73]

how can you do a benchamrk without crysis??????

[quadcoredeath000]

geforce 3d vision is 8800 and up not 9800 and up

[ironeagle69]

Crysis benchmarks... please tigerdirect.

[illage2]

I'm jealous everyone can afford a decent graphics card but I' stuck with crappy integrated graphics.

[oceanic816]

Jesus do some benchmarks to show how good the card is with games

[rservicex01]

nvidia always has a stradegy on selling this VGA

[Daaarthchris]

man i need this guy to help me pick out a gaming computer, anyone know a good one under 1,400?

[TechWithLukasz]

build your own

Get a Nvidia 260 gtx

core i7

asus p6t- + overclock it

6gb ram

NV690 case

coolermaster v8

+ the regular hard drive, drives etc.

= around $1400

[Daaarthchris]

thanks man, but i wouldnt know the first thing to do lol

[MegaTechGuy]

My set ups on my web site are cheaper.

[pamew]

No point overclocking the I7, that's just risking damaging an already expensive and powerful CPU.

Agree with the specs though, pretty much spot on.

[spungii117]

9800m GS on my lappy!

[dartvader117]

be like logan! actually benchmark!! that's why i subscribed to you guys! not for which jacks are in the left side of the card!

[CrdBrdProjects]

it's not a new fucking card, it is a rebranded 9800GTX+

[wildwolves8]

i liked the old design.

[deepakm]

why havent they done a GTX 295 or a GTX 275 review yet? who cares about the 250? same thing as a 9800GTX. PLEASE do review on 295 and 275.

[gforce7129]

thay have done the 295

[Yoda8232]

What's with all these shitty brand reviews?

[DeMedici420]

I would rather have shitty brand reviews instead of no videos.

[Yoda8232]

Now that's just common sense, true.

[Wolfe1944]

No benchmarks?

[PRODVDi]

yeah, they somehow don't have time for benchmarks.
