GTS 250 vs GTX 650

[tommo243]

So my friend has a Nvidia GTS 250 and a Nvidia GTX 650, but he doesn't know which one would be the better card for Gaming and Graphics works. The 250 is around the $200 mark while the 650 is around the $100 mark yet the 650 is the newer card so he is not sure. Thanks for any help.

The GTX 650 should be much better than the GTS 250

You can get a gts 250 on ebay for $40... anyone selling them for $200 is an absolute scam artist trying to get money off of the computer illiterate.

The way graphics cards generally work for nvida cards is that if the 1st number is higher, its a better card. 650 > 250. Also, when it comes to nvidia, GTX is usually better than GTS.

And for future reference, the second number also determines the sub-class of the card. In this case both are the same though. However, the 650 is still much better than the 250.

The GTS 250 never cost $200 anyways. I got one years ago when it had more recently come out for like $100 after rebates. Getting a GTX 650 for $100 makes sense.
