XFX GTS 250 or save and wait for GTX 260 216

[ian|Squared²]

Basically is it worth waiting to save up for the 260, price to performance which is better?

What resolution do you game at?

I'm probably gonna go for the 260, better in the long run.

I got GTX260 216 for £145 and have never looked back. Best £145 I have spent in years.

May as well save up, but depends on resolution of your monitor. 250 only needs 1 6 pin pci-e connector where as 260 needs 2.

They are but almost £100 dearer than the 260's. You get what you pay for.

Also note that the 4890 seems to beat the 275's in the first reviews and costs less.
