GTS 250 1024MB PCIe

Just picked up a new graphics card at Fry's yesterday. Damn them and they're temptress-like awesome sales... Anyways , I picked up the NVIDIA GTS 250 1024MB PCIe by PNY's XLR8 Gaming. Here's the specs for it:

Bus Technology: PCI Express 2.0
Memory Amount: 1024MB DDR3

Memory Interface: 256-bit
Memory Bandwidth (GB/s.): 70.4
Fill Rate (billion pixels/sec.): 47.2
Shader Clock (MHz): 1836 MHz
Core Clock (MHz): 738 MHz
Memory Frequency (effective): 2200 MHz
Stream Processors: 128




It comes with all the usual NVIDIA features and overclocking utilities, etc, so I will be pushing the limit with it. But, since I'm at my parents' house on my laptop, I won't be installing this until tomorrow when I head back home. But once I do, I'll post an update on how much it rocks (or fails). Can't wait to try this baby out.

UPDATE: Installed the card and it definitely lives up to my hype. Definitely a worthy purchase. Runs all my games on the highest settings with no problems at all. I would recommend this card to anybody looking some bang for your buck.
