I'm in the same boat, trying to decided which 460 GTX. Here is a NewEgg comparison of five of the most popular cards: MSI GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) N460GTX CYCLONE 1GD5/OC EVGA GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 01G-P3-1371-TR Video Card MSI GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) N460GTX Hawk Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX...

In light of the recent thread on the socket 775 problem with 460 cards, what would be the difference between the 460 and the 450 GTS?

Liking the price! But the reviews are concerning. It seems there is a bad batch of them floating around, causing the card to crap out very quickly.

I'm really liking the Nvidia cards over ATI at the moment, and I don't want to deal with the extra heat and power demands of the 470s. I'll watch the prices on the GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked EE 1GB. Best deal now is about $194 after rebate and free shipping.

After reading a few other threads, I have concerns about my psu with a fermi-based card. It seems 550 watts may not be enough to comfortably run the card."

Thanks, guys! Just ran an IntelBurnTest. Not knowing any better, I ran the standard test: ---------------------------- IntelBurnTest v2.50 Created by AgentGOD ---------------------------- Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz Clock Speed: 3.18 GHz Active...

I bought the Performance MX as my first wireless mouse after holding out on the wireless "revolution." Ugh. I mean it's not bad for web surfing, and it is nice not having the cord, but it is no where near as precise as my MX 518—it's just really annoying at times.

Currently extending the life of my C2D, as I really don't need to upgrade yet, I decided to OC my E6750. I'd really like to know from the seasoned OCers here if I did this right. System Specs: C2D E6750 Abit IP 35 PRO G.Skill DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) (F2-8500CL5) - 8GB I set my bios as...

Farfegnugen! I don't have any immediate plans to jump to i7. Do you have any links to articles that show better performance with CD2 procs and ATI cards?

Thanks for the advice so far! Waiting another week won't kill me, especially if I can get a better deal. I'll look into overclocking the CPU to at least 3ghz on air cooling.

Long time Hard|Forum reader and first time poster. I built my current system sometime ago, and I recently upgraded my monitors from two Dell Ultrasharp 1905 FPs to two Dell Ultrasharp 2209 WAs (1960 x 1050), and I noticed the increased resolution crippled my 8600 GTS while playing L4D2. So I...
