Twintech GTS250 Claims Windows 7 Support

From Tom's Hardware: However, what struck out most was the company's claim that the GTS 250 series is ready for Windows 7 and, according to Twintech, one of the first to support DirectX 11. There's some skepticism in that aspect, as anything Vista-capable seems to default as Windows 7 compliant even though the operating system is still in its beta stage. Any recent GPU in fact, will be able to support Windows 7 no problem. Those of you running the Windows 7 beta can attest to this already.

The new GeFprce GTS 250 is nothing more than a rebranded GTX 9800+, to fit more in line with current Nvidia naming conventions. We're told that the new cards however, will receive a price reduction, making them more affordable than current GTX 9800+ boards.

Both the 1 GB and 512 MB versions of the GTS 250 feature 128 stream processing, a core clock of 738 MHz, a processor clock of 1836 MHz and a texture fill rate of 47.2 billion/sec. Each card utilizes DDR3 512bit memory with memory clock of 2000 MHz (1 GB card) and 2200 MHz (512MB card). With on-board HDMI, users will benefit from digital transfer speeds up to 10.2 gigabytes per second, offering double the bandwidth needed to transmit a 1080p signal; the card also provides a DVI max resolution of 2560x1600. To keep things cool, the cards sport dual fans in an equally cool blue color as well as a heat pipe mounted somewhere under the shell.
