GTX 275 < GTS 250 SLi < GTX 285
no. GTS 250 SLI = garbage.

Your post=trolling.
Funny when you consider the card you have on your sig...
I know from experience that two 512mb 8800gt's in SLI cannot match a GTX 260.
The card in my sig has 2 GB framebuffer. And it's not trolling it's the truth. GTS 250 is basically 9800 GTX SLI 512 MB and it stinks. Simply not enough VRAM.
There isn't enough framebuffer for smooth gameplay. Framebuffer made the 8800 GT 256 MB pure junk. Not enough VRAM.
GTS 250 will match a GTX 280 in some raw benchies but it will it not provide the smooth gameplay nor the minimum frame rates a 280/285 will. I've owned both of these options so I know first-hand that GTX 280/285 is a far better option.
People who have no idea what they are talking about are making opinions based on what they read... I don't have to read a review.... I know first hand.
Most 250's are 1gb, they run quite well in SLI, usually on par with a 280. Also, a 4850x2 does not have a 2gb "framebuffer", it has 1gb per gpu.
I don't think you understand what framebuffer means but non the less.
Your setup 4850x2 has only 1GB of VRAM per GPU, so you don't have 2GB "framebuffer" even though that's not that's not what a frame buffer is
the GTS250 has 512 per gpu, or 1GB total when SLI, if you really want to stick to claiming your card has 2GB then you need to say that the GTS 250 has 1GB
and the only place 512 would becoming a limitation is high AA @ 1920 or >1920 period.
and you're also assuming that the GTS 250 they are talking about, is a 512M OESNmodel, they do come in both 512M and 1GB
I know it's 1 GB per GPU. Thank you professors. And no AA means it DOESN'T PERFORM AS WELL AS 285.
no it doesn't no AA @ 1920x1200 where even the GTX285 might struggle with AA depending on the game, and that's only for the 512M model
if you know its 1GB per GPU then why would you claim the GTS 250 sli has only 512M when it's clearly 1GB or 512M per GPU
and again, i'll post it for you once more, YOU'RE WRONG
90% of the time, the GTS 250 SLI is faster, AT every resolution, with AA

This is wrong. Some 250 are 1 GB most are 512 MB.

I don't need to read a review you dope. I've owned both.
"The term "framebuffer" has also entered into colloquial usage to refer to a backing store of graphical information. The key feature that differentiates a framebuffer from memory used to store graphics the output device is lost in this usage."
I used the term properly, thank you.
You haven't owned anyone, you've been spewing a bunch of bullshit from your first post, which is WRONG, I don't care if you've owned both, I can link you to 3 reviews that say you're wrong, and all 3 of the reviewers are way more credible then you are.
This is a lost cause
I never said I "owned" anyone. I said I OWNED both 9800 GTX+ SLI and GTX 285. I don't give care about reviewers bc I already know.
You tell me what it is then, genius. Explain it to me.

I miss read the first part, then fixed it and forgot to take out the first part
You don't know how to use google ?
a frame buffer, is a portion of the memory reserved for storing rendered frames waiting to be displayed. The memory on the Video Card is used for more then just frame buffering, it's probably a smaller portion of it.
Framebuffer was used incorrectly and nice quote from Wikii btw.
I don't need to read a review you dope. I've owned both.
lol ego much?
God forbid anyone with proof in hand disagrees with your opinion
Sigh. Like that isn't what I said.
I didn't disguise that it came from Wiki. And apparantly you aren't familiar with the English language. I used it correctly. I dare you to tell me how i'm wrong.
your awesome 2GB card
Regards
thank you. I have enjoyed my card. A very good one with plenty of VRAM FOR FRAMEBUFFER. 1 GB per GPU...as if I didn't know that. Unlike the GTS 250 with only 512 MB of VRAM per gpu which is what i've been saying this whole thread.
No you said it has a 512M frame buffer, 0.0 and even if you had said 512M VRAM, you would have been wrong, The OP never mentioned 512 or 1GB, the card comes in both.
0.o man I don't think in the history of HardForum Have I ever seen someone be so wrong about so many things in a single thread
lol ok.
enjoy GTS 250 SLI. rofl....
No it's not ego. I'm trying to tell the OP that GTS 250 is NOT like GTX 285. Two totally different beasts.
I know from experience. That's all. You can take it or leave it but don't tell me I'm wrong.
lol ok.
enjoy GTS 250 SLI. rofl....
Thats what we thought
Thanks for confirming it for all of us who know what we are talking about.
Bye now
