Not entirely unlike a 9600GSO then...!Originally Posted by The Article
Ooooh, ouch. A 9600GSO was badly bottlenecked by its 192bit GDDR3 memory interface. I hate to think how much a 128bit GDDR3 interface will hold this card back. On the other hand, a GDDR5 version will have bandwidth similar to a 9600GT... which should mean better performance, given the extra stream processors.
Only problem is likely to be the price - given that DDR3 GT220s are £60 already, I can't see even a DDR3 version of this card being less than £70. That would push DDR5 cards up towards £90, where it comes perilously close to trying to compete with the 512MB 5750. It isn't hard to guess what would win that particular face off...
Shame they can't bring something in to replace the GTS 250 and compete with the 4850/70 in terms of price and performance with these new 40nm chips.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
