Exactly. It just needs the 'right' price and it will be a real nice videocard :up:Quote:

I'm missing the point here. Why not just get a 280/285 - That way you don't have to fight with the annoying amount of games which get sub-par SLi performance. :shrug:Quote:

and you say they are not close?
the 260 is faster than the 5770, so of course a 5770 is closer to a 260 than a gts250... but whats your point?
i dont understand how you are trying to conclude that a gts250x2 would be comparable to a 5770 when a single GTS250 is almost as fast as a 5770...
and a 9800gx2 performing CLOSE to a 4870... well how do you define close?
a 9800gx2 beats a gtx280... and a 4870 is slower than a gtx280, in fact its slower than a gtx275...
so to sum it up, you say a 9800gx2 is close to a 4870 when in fact there are 2 cards in between, a 280 and a 275... i think we can conclude that NO, a 9800gx2 is not close to a 4870, and a gts250X2 would be even faster than a 9800gx2...
a 9800gx2 clocks in at 600/1500 with 1000 memory vs 738/1600 and 1100 mem...
so a dual GTS250 would be 23%/6%/10% faster, all combined id guess around 15%...
which means a dual GTS250 card would be faster than a GTX285 and almost as fast as a 5850...
so NO, a gts250x2 is not "almost" faster than a 5770, its MUCH faster... ;)
and since there are GTS250 1gb cards for as low as 99$, this card has some serious price perf potential and can cost 250$, much less than a gtx285 and less than a 5850...
Has anyone heard any updates on these cards?

The dual-core GTS250 running at 675MHz/2000MHz/1696MHz (Core/Memory/Shader) got a 3DMarkVantage score of P13964, the performance is between GTX285 and GTX260.
How lovely for folding and i just so happen to have 3 spare PCI3 x16 lanes.
it seems to me that only two things will make a differance between the performance of this card and the gx2.
1 stock volts gx2 1.15 3d,if the 250x2 comes with the same it will run the same,unless the 250x2 has much better coolig,then maybe 1 more step in the core speed if that.
2 ram the base evga and bfg 250's i have,the ram is rated at 2600. if used it might have a small performace advantage over the slower speed ram gx2's(or even 98gtx+)overclocked.
on the otherhand i'm not sure if this card can be volt modded with software as the gx2.
that is if the card ever makes it to the wild.
oh the clocks are already decided?
lower core but higher shader clocks... sounds good!
and yeah, weve been hearing about those gts250x2 cards for a while now... still no launch date?
