Coming with a black PCB and a black, dual-slot cooler similar (better yet, identical) to that used for XFX’s Radeon HD 4850, the upcoming GeForce GTS 250 features a 55nm GPU with 128 Stream Processor, DirectX 10 and triple SLI support, 512MB of GDDR3 memory, dual-DVI connectivity and a 256-bit memory interface.
In terms of clocks, the GTS 250 has a 738 MHz GPU, 1836 MHz shaders and 2200 MHz memory. Expect the GeForce GTS 250 to make its debut early next month at the CeBIT show in Hannover.
