EVGA GeForce GTS 250 vs. EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+

Yeah, GTS 250 is essentially a 9800gtx+ that uses less power/heat. As shadow said though, look out for good prices on 4870/50 cards as that is where I would think the best 'bang for yer buck' is going to be.
 
i have used ati cards for prolly the last 5 years my last nvidia card was an old fx5200 before i got a 9600pro and 9800xt. over the past couple year though i havent been too happy with ati software and wanted to try and change things up a little right now i currently have a 4650
