hi, im thinking about getting this card to be delivered on the 29th, is this a good offer???

and are the reviews correct?

no, im not getting this just for that one game so would this card be good for future games? or should i say will this blow away my x1950

hmmm there ok afaik but not mind blowing, about the same as a radeon 4850 I think. Im sure ill be corrected if im wrong?

ok i took a chance and ordered!
should have it on the 29th, hoping it will play future games, but for now i hope it will boost the horrible load times a get with Killing floor and L4D2, and i may try replaying GTA4 if it gives me a noticable graphics boost

It is about the same as a 4850; you're right. Not a bad card at all the only gripe I have with it is the constant rebranding its gone through to end up in the nV 200 series when its definately not a 200 eries card.

I presume by the review it depends on what settings and res you use.

i did want the 260 but i refuse to pay over £100
on games i use 1024x768 (same as desktop) with all other settings as high as possable so the 250 should do the job

upgrade complete just seeing what it can do now...
ATI tool gives me around 1000 fps (600 FPS with x1950)
GTA IV can now be run with the texure settings on HIGH (medium before)
and resident evil 5.... WORKS! (totally refuses to work on x1950 due to some kind of card specific fault)
