As we are getting closer to the alleged release of NVIDIA's latest GeForce graphics cards, part of the company's GT200-series, more details surface the Internet. According to the latest rumors, NVIDIA is expected to showcase its new GeForce GTS 250 and GTS 240 graphics cards at the CeBIT show in Hanover, Germany, which will debut on March 3. By that time more leaked details on the new cards should surface the Internet, preparing us for the next-generation GeForce video cards.

According to available details, NVIDIA will be introducing the GeForce GTS 250, as a rebranded version of the company's current GeForce 9800GTX+, one of its first cards to take advantage of a 55nm-based GPU. The GeForce GTS 240 will likely be an overclocked version of the company's current GeForce 9800GT, which should provide users with some performance boost over the current 9800GT model.

The GeForce GTS 240 will be featured with a core speed of 675MHz for the GPU, 1688MHz for the 112 stream processors and 2200MHz for the 512MB of GDDR3 memory. By comparison, the GeForce 9800 GT provides users with a GPU clock speed of 600MHz, 1500MHz for the 112 stream processors and 1800MHz for the graphics card memory. A closer look at the frequencies of the GeForce GTS 240 will reveal that the upcoming video card will sport the same clock frequencies as the company's current GeForce 9800GTX, so you should be expecting some performance increases.

Unfortunately, we have no details regarding the card's estimated price tag, but if it is priced similarly to the GeForce 9800GT, we might be looking at a possible alternative for a mainstream performance graphics solution. Obviously, besides the aforementioned specifications, users will also be provided with support for DirectX 10 and SLI, a 256-bit memory interface, dual-DVI connectivity and the use of NVIDIA's own technologies, such as CUDA and PhysX.
