1173959 2011-02-01 07:36:00 I have an EVGA GTX460 SC EE, and it runs mint. Runs fairly quiet during my BadCompany2:Vietnam sessions too with max temp at 59C. Running all games on max settings in HD res too :)

This wasn't the case when I first got my GTX460 though... dang thing hit 99C within seconds of launching any games, and sounded like it was about to take off.

You could wait a bit and see where they price the GTX560's when they get released which will hopefully push the 460's price down.

How did you fix the temp issue? and when are the 560's coming out?

Returned the dang card to the shop! :)

560's? It already out in the wild, and NVIDIA has brought back the Ti moniker too hah.

yep, to add the 560 is about US$260ish in the states so that price is not far off for a "just released card". By the time you convert add GTS and a bit more as its NZ maybe they will drop to the lower 400's.

1173964 2011-02-02 06:33:00 Almost wished I had held out for another month if I had know the GTX560s were out so soon.

It'll be interesting to see how my 460 holds up when RAGE and CRYSIS2 gets thrown at it.

1173965 2011-02-02 06:51:00 Apparently Crytek is tried to develop crysis 2 to run on the same or similar hardware as the original. icow (15313)

+1

From the footage I have seen, looks like lame enclosed scripted path gameplay, really hope I am wrong.

Me too.

I wish they made the pc one as good as they could but dumbed it down for console gaming peasants.
