The Zone

Hot on the heels of NVIDIA's littlest brother in its GTX 200 performance series graphic cards, we managed to snag an engineering sample for the up and coming GTS 250. With just the card sent in, we didn't have a chance to see what else came with the complete package but it definitely seems to be one of the higher end models. This is mainly because it comes with a custom Zalman fansink, built-in HDMI, DVI and VGA ports and about 1GB worth of GDDR3 memory. Here's our first sneak peak at its performance for both 3DMark06 as well as 3DMark Vantage. For a full in depth review check it out in our latest issue of HWM (HWM April 2009).
