The Zotac GTS 250 is the perfect example of a dark horse ending up impressing the hell out of everyone. We were so caught up by the high end graphics card wars between NVidia and ATI that this card passed under our radar among all the HD4890s and the G...

The G92 GPU core has been used in a number of GPU's in varying guises thanks to NVidia's strategic renaming policy. Way back in 2007, the phenomenal and very popular 8800GT was the first of a long line of graphics card to make use of this very versati...

The Zotac GTS250 AMP is clearly a very capable card and while it couldn't quite surpass the HD4870XXX, it did easily outpace the HD4850XXX in the majority of benchmarks run today. That said I would wage the benchmarks would have been much closer had the...

Early in spring NVIDIA suddenly decided to make another announcement. According the new policy, this model was named GeForce GTS 250. In this case GTS stands for lower performance level than GTX, and 250 is a model number. Judging by the graphics card...

GTS 250 sounds like a new entrant to the GT200 family, which is a rung below the GTX 260. However, it’s the same old G92-based GeForce 9800 GTX+ with a few tweaks and a very attractive price tag. Nvidia decided to call it GTS 250 as a part of its re-br...

NVIDIA continues to use well known system of price drops and remarking of old graphics card models which resulted in “new” NVIDIA products that are better positioned on the market. This praxis had created situations where certain models, like GeForce 8...

Should you purchase one ZOTAC GTS 250 AMP!? If you are a proud owner of GeForce 8800GTS or 9800GTX than you already know the answer – there is no point in doing that. This model is actually in very inconvenient position: our impression is that it is...

We all have seen Nvidias attempt to kill the hype behind HD4850, first by lowering the price of the 9800GTX, then releasing the same card with a smaller die size, fondly called the 9800GTX +. All these attempts proved useless and only went on to sho...

It is certainly an interesting turn of events. The GTS250, in specifications, bears a striking resemblance to the 9800GTX+ (which it is for the most part) but with a few optimizations thrown in. Its pretty clear that Nvidia has worked on the power co...
