| 1138509 | 2010-09-20 21:51:00 | Get the 1GB version, not the 768MB one. It is slightly faster. I have the Gigabyte GTX460 and it's a pretty sweet card. |

| 1138510 | 2010-09-20 22:34:00 | However, when you look at price ($280 for the 460 vs $566 for the 470) that's an increase of roughly 50% So would you pay 50% more for 20% extra speed? I'd agree with the previous post, the 460 is much better value $280 to $566 is a 100% increase in price. Where are you getting, retail, a decent-branded GTX460 1GB for $280?? I got some new graphics cards recently and couldn't find even a rubbish brand, 768MB 460 for under $300. I'd expect to pay $360 for a decent branded, reference-spec 460 1GB, or about $430 for a decent branded, OC-spec 460 1GB. I'd still very much agree though - unless money is no object, the 460 1GB is the choice from the nvidia stable atm. Miles ahead on price/performance. Unless you're getting 2x 480s im not sure why you'd get anything but the 460 tbh (or 2 in SLI ;)) Went with the Asus GTX460 TOP 1GB in the end. Incredible card, and at 1920x1080 getting nigh-on identical performance to the 1.2GB 470 in our other box. Asus, Gigabyte, or eVGA would be the brands to go for imo. |
