Graphics Card Comparison

BFG Geforce 9800 GTX OC 512MB vs XFX Geforce 250 GTS 1GB

I read on some sites that the 9800s are pretty much like the 250s. Is this true? Shouldn't the 250 be a bit better since it has 1GB?

Neither is really better. 1 GB of memory doesn't really benefit that class cards. It's not an upgrade. It's a waste of money. GTS250 has a lower power consumption though.
If you want to upgrade, wait 4-10 days, get a Radeon HD5xxx card.

Well I had a 9800 GTX but was having problems so they said they could exchange for a 250 GTS for free.
