Nvidia didn't make much friends over their recent launch of the Geforce GTS 250. Not surprising, as many tech sites found out that the GTS 250 is nothing more than a Geforce 9800GTX+ with an updated BIOS. To make matters worse, Nvidia then refused many tech sites for sampling their GTS 250 (knowing they will get slated for it). Having said that, the Geforce GTS 250 is still an OK card in terms of price and perfomance. It competes directly with ATI's Radeon HD 4850, which have been selling quite well.

If you do feel cheated by Nvidia ... don't worry! CPU3D is here to help. If you got a Geforce 9800GTX+ in your current system ... we'll show you how flash it and turn it into a Geforce GTS 250!
