Galaxy Dual GTS 250 Accelerator Tested
Galaxy's graphics card in the works that uses two GeForce GTS 250 GPUs has finally taken shape. Galaxy designed this card out of NVIDIA's specifications, from scratch. The company also designed a cooler that uses two GPU heatsinks, each with spirally-projecting aluminum fins, with its own 80 mm fan, and a heatsink over other parts of the card such as memory and VRM. The card draws power from two 6-pin power connectors. It has 512 MB of GDDR3 memory per GPU.
Out of the box, the card comes with clock speeds of 600/1500/1000 MHz (core/shader/memory). With the bundled Galaxy Magic Panel HD software, it can be overclocked further. In a certain test, clock speeds of 675/1000/1696 MHz were used. A 3DMark Vantage run with Performance preset yielded a score of P13964. In the pictures, the piece of PCB sticking out next to the PCI-Express interface is a rudimentary spacer. It won't be present on retail cards.

always ruining my fun
Ridiculous that it has no SLI feature though.
this card is 2 years too late.
First you have to actually get one.You know anybody that bought a Galaxy 260+ razor edition?
Yeah, I've played with one...I stand by my statement. This card performs at GTX275 level both stock, yes the GTX260 can overclock to beyond those speeds, but both the GTX275 and this GTS250 can overclock also...
I personally have no knowledge of Galaxy cards, have never bought one. Anyone care to tell me if they are any good. If so, and if this where set at the 150.00-170.00 I think it woould be great.
ram on both my base evga 250's easly go 1300.
my gx2 or 98gtx,+ never came with ram rated that high,althuogh the cores ran the same on the 98gtx+ (820-840) as the 250's with same stock volts of 1.18 3d.
now that brings us back to the gx2,which came with 1.15v 3d. if they give the 250x2 1.15v
it will run the same speed,if its cooled betterl on the single pcb maybe alittle faster o/c's.
anyway what i'm trying to say is if the 250x2 comes with fast ram it will be slightly faster then the gx2.
and on the other hand it does not look like you can use riva for I2C to add volts on this 250x2
as for price
how could you think it would be much lower then $250 usd? you cant get a set of 88gtx's on ebay for much less then $200 now a days.:slap:
i just want to rent this card a few days :D
This card is ok if the price is right.
get a HD 5850 or 5870
no point of ancient technology based on a G92 core from 2008...
its basicly a 9800 GX2 with a new name nothing else nothing NEW at all
