Other Thoughts: After I received and installed the card and was on Windows, the temperature (using gpu-z 0.3.4) was 70C idle, after playing Mass Effect with all settings on high, the temperature jumped to 120C. RMA'd immediately afterwards. This behavior occurred while the fan was running 80%-100% speed with the current nVidia drivers and everything otherwise normal. I thought with a good brand name like ASUS (I own and love their motherboards), that a video card would be decent, but I learned my lesson and now only buy from higher-end video card manufacturers. from Newegg.com Pros: GTS 250 is a strong card able to handle any game on the market Cons: 9800GTX+ being passed as GTS 250. GTS 250 is shorter and only requires one 6 pin connector, while the 9800GTX takes 2. from Newegg.com Pros: Quiet (vs my previous card)Energy efficient (doesn't require large PSU)Not a reference boardlarge fan and coolerBetter than other GTS250's Cons: Double Slots (minor issue)HDMI is done with adapterASUS software is kind of annoying (if you use it) Other Thoughts: I got this card with a rebate--still waiting for it. This card is near silent, but has a low hum that doesn't drive one crazy versus my other card. from Newegg.com I looked up the card on ASUS and they showed the same length card as the 1GB version with the single power connector. My case is just a 1/8" too short so this card is tweaked just a bit but working fine.

Cons: I will not deduct any eggs but, my 8 day accelerated rebate which comes out to $22 still has not been acknowledged by Asus, does it take 3 weeks to mail the rebate to Asus from Pennsylvania to California ? from Newegg.com Competes well against 4870. Cons: 1Gb model is shorter and consumes 150w Other Thoughts: Prior reviews' observations ill informed. Got to Nvidia wesite for spec definitions between 512mb and 1Gb. The PCB on 1 Gb model is shorter and requires less power. from Newegg.com Pros: Good looking and well performing coolerAble to handle any game on the market Cons: Asus is shipping out 9800gtx+ graphics cards with some firmware updates and NONE of the hardware changes. Other Thoughts: This is not a GTS 250, just a firmware updated 9800gtx+. Yes, I’m aware that all GTS 250 are essentially rebadged 9800gtx+. from Newegg.com Cons: 1Gb model is shorter and consumes 150w Other Thoughts: Prior reviews' observations ill informed. Got to Nvidia wesite for spec definitions between 512mb and 1Gb. The PCB on 1 Gb model is shorter and requires less power. from Newegg.com All the specs are the same, and it looks the same. They just changed the model name. They pulled this stunt before when the 1 and 2 Gb cards came out. Couldnt make up there minds. from Newegg.com Pros: Feels solid. Runs farely quiet (after the initial max fan at boot). from Newegg.com
