A powerhouse folder for the price! Very tempted to pick one up myself. The free copy or World at War makes it an even better deal!

isn't that card old?
everywhere i check the best cards for "folding" always seem to be nVidia

ShadowFold · May 26, 2009, 09:08 PM

Because no one wants to code f@h for stream. And yea it's old, but it's just what the GTS 250 was before it was rebadged from a 9800GTX.

El_Mayo · May 26, 2009, 09:09 PM

i know.
what's stream? ATi code or something?

That is a very misleading statement. The GTS is weaker than the 8800/9800GT in most cases and the 9800GT is pretty equal to a HD4800

that is EVEN MORE misleading
you have implied that the 9800GT is equal to even the HD4890

ShadowFold · May 26, 2009, 09:55 PM

This is a G92, not G80.

It's an G92 like Shadow said, and it's faster than 8800GT, which mean it's should be equal with HD4850.

Heh meant to say a HD4830.
Hm didn't notice the core. Dang Nvidia's line is just confusing sometimes

Wow and you get a free game too. Awesome deal indeed

El_Mayo · May 26, 2009, 10:04 PM

aha
fair enough xD

newtekie1 · May 27, 2009, 03:14 AM

Performance wise, this card will fall just short of a 9800GTX, but definitely better than a 9800GT.

The 512mb of Vram lets you know its G92. There is no G80 8800gts that has 512mb Vram.

newtekie1 · May 27, 2009, 12:50 PM

The G92 in the title is a big hint too...
