Hey guys i was wondering Would a 1024MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTS 240 be good or 1792MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 260 add $141.90 be worth the extra money?

What resolution are you playing at? an 896mb GTX260 is sufficient, you dont need the double memory. Where did you find a GTS240? Im unfamiliar with that card, did you mean a GTS250? The GTX260 is stronger than the GTS250 by a fair margin and is definitely worth the price premium, but only for an 896MB card.

The GTX260 is actually a generation old at this point but is a good card for the money especially over a GTS250. The GTS250 even older tech and basically a 9800GTX+ rebadged. For 1600X1050 go for the GTX260 ( hopefully a GTX260 core 216)

I dont know what the prices are over there but over here the GTX260 is waaay overpriced (cheapest I found is $150 after rebate), especially with 4870 1GB going for $125 after rebate.

A 5770 costing ~$149 and released next week means nothing else at the pricepoint is worth buying.

GTS 240 is an OEM part. but they said that they will sell the card as discrete card later. but i'm not really sure when
