The price-performance ratio is what matters and a few Nvidia partners have told us that the GTS 250 rebrand edition is selling better than they had originally anticipated.

The 512MB GTS 250 cards start at €125 or more, but it's under a lot of pressure coming from ATI's Radeon HD 4870 512MB, which is available for €150 in German and UK etail. Radeon 4870 512MB is the faster of two.

The Geforce GTS250 1GB version is selling for €143 and more but some people believe that the GTS250 brand is worth spending money on. ATI has dropped the prices to put more pressure on Nvidia and to get rid of the chips before it launches RV790 55nm and later RV740 40nm chips, and it wants to continue to sell its best selling chip in performance market of all time, the RV770.
