Hey guys what are your views on GTS 250 based cards.. my friend wants to go for a NVIDIA based card.. so i'm thinking that GTS 250 should be a better option.. its cheap around 7.5k I guess..

For 7k, I STRONGLY SUGGEST:
Sahh[ire HD4770 512MB GDDR5 Artic Accelero @ 7.5k
It's a STEALLL, and better than GTS250
Sahh[ire HD4770 512MB GDDR5 Artic Accelero @ 7.5k
It's a STEALLL, and better than GTS250
I think HD4850 performs better than HD4770 and GTS250 performs a little bit better than HD4850.
I guess you are suggesting that sapphire card for insane gpu ocing and churn out the maximum performance out of HD4770 for Maximum Game

4770 is not VFM until 4850 leaves the market. It needs a price drop. Okay, maybe I'd buy it and OC, but most people don't do it and rightly so. That way, we have to wait for 57xx to be great and then we can recommend 4770, which will be dirt cheap. Till then GTS 250 is the way to go.

Let me tell you why i recommend HD4770:-
1. 80W TDP(GTS250 has a fckin 141W)
2. 40nm technical process(it's idle and max temps are like kids infront of HD4850 and GTS250)
3. Extreme Overclocablity(GTS250 can go 800MHz, but it already consumes 141W!, HD4850 will burn if you go from 625Mhz to 675MHz on stock cooler).
4. GDDR5 (oh come on, just having GDDR5 on your card is darn sweet!!!)

Point one isnt very valid too. Performance isnt as much as GTS 250 and anyway we always recommend good PSU's to buyers, so no worries.
Anyway, at that price (7.4k), I'd rather buy the GTS 250 than the 4770! Performance matters to me. At a price of say, 6-6.5k, that GFX card would be out of stock everywhere, but not now.

Hmm, so point no. 2 in favour of me. 141W TDP vs 80W + Non-reference cooling
Yup, but it's only the 512MB GDDR3 version form powercolor which is Rs. 6.6-6.8K but the 1GB GDDR3 model costs Rs. 7.5K
