Hey guys, my current setup is as follows....GIGABYTE MOBO : GA-EP43-DS3LXFX GPU: XFX radeon HD4890 Xtreme 1gbCORSAIR PSU: HX750WGSKILL RAM: GSKILL TRIDENT 4gbINTEL CPU: Q9550CPU COOLER: Xigmatek Dark KnightMonitor: Viewsonic 24"O/S : Windows 7 x64Now i want to change to a Nvidia GPU and my question is, is the GTS250 or the GTX275 better for my system? i know the GTX275 is the overall more powerful card, but will my system benefit with this card over the 250? The reason i ask is because i was told that my CPU would not be able to handle the 275 and it will be creating a bottleneck? thanks guys!

If you can still get a 275 at a decent price, that should give you what you desire. The 250 is by no means a better card than the 4890 except perhaps in FSX.

Hi,A well overclocked 1782 ram version of the 275 GTX is a rocketship when combined with an overclocked Q9550 and fast ram. As long as you have excellent cooling fast FPS and smooth stability is the result. Don't forget to follow Nick's recommendations and have FPS Limiter and Nhancer though.Stephen

Ahh thanks guys, Exactly what i wanted to know...
