Asus may be jumping the gun a little since the GeForce GTS 250 isn't expected to be introduced until next week at CeBIT but we don't mind as we've got five fresh cards to write about. For its GeForce GTS 250 line-up Asus has went all out as every card makes use of its Dark Knight Fansink equipped with 4 heatpipes and a fan with a sound output of 32dB.
Unprecedented 1 GB Onboard Memory for Ultimate Graphics
Memory size plays an important portion in the delivery of graphical performance, as even a powerful GPU can suffer from bottlenecks due to slow or insufficient video memory. The more memory installed on a video card, the more data it can store—eliminating the need to access PC RAM to provide faster graphical performances. With most current and upcoming games requiring increasingly high video memory requirements, the ASUS ENGTS250 DK/HTDI/1GD3, with its unprecedented 1GB of built-in memory, is able to deliver greatly enhanced performances, and allow users to fully enjoy games or movies without lag or stuttering even at very high resolutions and maximum quality settings.
In terms of clocks, the 512MB DK/HTDI/512MD3 and 1GB DK/HTDI/1GD3 come with a 740 MHz GPU and 2200 MHz-clocked memory, while the 512MB TOP edition(s) go up to 775 MHz for the GPU and 2360 MHz for the on-board memory. Expect these cards to go on sale next month at prices under $200.

Another advantage of the ASUS ENGTS250 Series is the specially designed Dark Knight Fansink.
