XFX Geforce GTS250 PCIE 1GB DDR3 Dual-Dvi 738MHZ

The GTS250 replaces the venerable nvidia Geforce9800 (using the same G92 core), in a larger package that requires 2 slots, runs a bit cooler, and plays a little snappier while not benchmarking notably faster than my 9800GT.

Physically, this GTS250 is a notably larger package, consuming two slots (instead of one), with an externally-vented fan, and a new enclosed cooling shroud covering the working parts of the board.

Added a 2nd to my system in sli....Play all the latest games with no issues. Best customer service and warranty in the busines.....Only use XFX

You seem to be able to see a pattern of oval lines. But I have no idea if my old CRT monitor is doing that because the card displays some pretty good graphics.
