Which cards are faster than this one?

BIG BREATH...
Radeon 4770 (about equal)
Radeon 4850 (about equal)
Radeon 4860
Radeon 4870
Radeon 4890
Radeon 5770
Radeon 5750 (about equal)
Radeon 5670 (Preliminary benchmarks places the 5650m faster than the 9800GTm, so logic would dictate that the up model desktop variant will be at least equal to the GTS250) (here's a link - http://www.notebookjournal.de/tests/notebook-review-deviltech-fire-dtx-nkmo-1073/1 )

GTX 260 - 192
GTX 260 - 216
GTX 275
GTX 280
GTX 285
Geforce 8800GTS(g92) (about equal)
Geforce 9800GTX (about equal)
Geforce 9800GTX+ (about equal)
Geforce 8800GTX (about equal)

And obviously the dual chip versions of any of the aforementioned cards.

You're kind of vague. Could you include manufacturers and model numbers please?
 
WAIT!
$150 for THAT?
wait for the 5670 (may be released at $80-$99) and get more or less the same performance.

the 400sp 5670 will not be as fast as the gts250 by any stretch of the imagination. remember even the 720sp 5750 is about the same level of performance.

Crap. I bought a HD5870...

It's not even making the bottom the list :-/
 
Nvidias model naming is counter-intuitive sometimes. I can understand your question. Rauelis put together a fantastic list. I run a GTX260 which plays all my games maxed out on 1680X1050 resolution. Wish I had a new monitor to go higher....
 
In current games yes. May not be the case 6 months from now.
what? lol. so in 6 months those 400sp are going to perform like 800 or even 720? dont be silly as nothing will change in 6 months that will make a 5670 nearly double its performance. the 5670 will NOT be as fast as the gts250 now or ever.
 
Whoa! Forgot my 5800 bretheran! Of course the 5870 and 5850 reign supreme among graphics cards, crushing all other cards in it's way!
 
Oh come on guys, the GTS 250 isn't that bad...
I mean 9800GTX+.
I mean 8800GTS 512.

Sorry, that's incorrect. The GTS250 is not the same card as the 9800GTX+ or the 8800GTS 512.

The GTS250 is a re-badge of the 9800GTX+ (Rev2), which has a shorter PCB than the 9800GTX+ (Rev1). The die-shrunk cores being used on these cards also make them different from the original 9800GTX, as well as the 8800GTS 512mb.

Seriously guys, research this shit before you start screaming "rebrand!" The hardware really has changed quite a bit.
 
For a general question like this, Tom's monthly Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart is handy. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-310-5970,2491-7.html As always, the devil is in the details, but this will at least give you a rough idea of what compares to what.

It's still a G92, just with a die shrink resulting in less heat and power usage, which in turn means it can be put on a smaller card and run a little faster. The GPU itself has not really changed. Whereas there is a very large difference between the 9000GT series and the GTX200 series, the GTS250 can basically be called a revised, tweaked version of the 8800GTS. Some of the early GTS250's actually were rebranded 65nm 9800GTX+'s, meaning they really were the same card as the 9800GTX+ and even closer to the 8800GTS than the current incarnation of the GTS250 is.

I know it's not the exact same card, but the GTS250 has a lot more in common with the 8800GTS than it does with the GTX260, despite the similarity in name.
