Zotac GeForce GTS250 AMP! Edition 1024MB PCIe

Zitat: Pros: + Decent performance + Low power consumption + Good overall package + Better price vs. Performance ratio Cons: - Still behind the 4870 - PCB colour clashes The Zotac GTS 250 AMP! is quite clearly capable of some very impressive frame rates and although it did struggle a little with the synthetic tests, the gaming benchmark scores were much better even though it couldn’t quite surpass the 4870 1GB. It did however, comfortably out pace the ATI budget 4770 card and although we did not have one to test, this card would seem to be matched roughly with the 4850 in terms of performance. The overall bundle was very good with a well set out package, a number of connectors and adapters and even a game thrown in for good measure as well as 3Dmark Vantage. With the factory overclocking in making the GTS 250 into an AMP! edition we weren’t expecting anything huge when further overclocking the memory and core and we were right not to with only a small increase in frequencies possible. Still, this did relate to a significant performance increase. With criticism of over expensive cards especially higher models in the 200 series range by Nvidia, the card fits in much better with a good price to performance ratio as well as keeping a relatively low power consumption. However, if it was our money, we’d still go for the 4870 but the Zotac GTS 250 AMP! is not far off and a much more affordable option than the higher end Nvidia GPUs if you’re an Nvidia fan boy through and through.
