Introduction

Today NVIDIA announces their GeForce GTS 250 Series. While the name my sound like something new and exciting, the GTS 250 is basically an overclocked 9800 GTX based on the G92 GPU. The G92 has been used on a large number of NVIDIA cards before, including the 8800 GS, 8800 GT, 8800 GTS, 9600 GSO, 9600 GT, 9800 GT, 9800 GTX, 9800 GTX+ and 9800 GX2.
Initially NVIDIA offers two reference design cards with 512 MB (like the 9800 GTX) and 1024 MB of video memory. Palit, who is one of NVIDIA's biggest board partners, went all out and offers their own 2048 MB card design on launch day.
