[IROC_69]

do gtx 460 worth waiting i was planning to buy a 5770 or 5830 it was planed to go tommaro but today i was just surfing around and saw gtx 460 is going to be released in july so

the question is gtx 460 really worth waiting

or just go with 5830 or 5770

As no one knows ah heck all about the GTX460 and how it will perform, why don't you just wait for some benchmarks when the card gets reviewed?

Most people would recommend the HD5770 mostly because it has nice priceerformance and should be able to give you pretty good frame rates unless you're playing at higher resolutions like 1080p or something.

 

[IROC_69]

my gaming would just be around 1280x1024 but on enthusiast setting probably with some AA too

You can guarantee that if the OP buys a GTX465 that he "will" be able to unlock it to a GTX470?

I thought that only worked/works with a certain brand

 

[Averagegai]

I still think he should be looking at the HD 5770 if he's playing at that resolution.

And from my personal experience, my GTX 470 has given me quite a few problems which makes me a bit bias, I guess.

Rumors say the 460 can reach 470 speeds with a hefty overclock, wait till mId July. They should start around 230.00$..

Big fan of ATI huh?
wat do ati have over Nvidia? low price? is that all wat u consider? wat abt features offered by nvidia...u r payin xtra for that
when it comes to heat...yeah some nvidia gpus runs hot....but most of em are close to ati and also remember...nvidia gpu has more threshold than ati so it doesnt really matter...
then power? if u r really worried abt power consumed by your pc then y do big sli nd crossfire stuffs,,, just settle wid a console like ps or xbox...

gtx 460 is worth waiting for...
not much time left for it to be out....
just see its performance and decide...

Uh, you can consider me just the opposite of an ATI fanboy... I don't own a single ATI card, I just hear the 5770 get recommended a lot. Nvidia cards, however, I own a 7600GT, 8600GT, GTX 260, and GTX 470. The 7600 and 8600GT died on me about one and a half year into their lifetime and my new GTX 470 has been giving me problems.

I just feel that buying recently released cards might be a bad idea because of the immature drivers.

 

[mjsharma]

if u haven't used an ati card then y r u recommending them to someone??

7600 nd 8600 died?...well...its just opposite with me...my 8600gt which runs damn hot(not now..)with load temp at around 105c is still wrkin fyn...it ran like that for nearly an year.. still not dead...i am using it now in my 2nd pc...

 

[Averagegai]

If you read my post carefully, I said I hear it get recommended a lot. Like 90% of the time whenever people ask for graphic card suggestion for mid systems. And secondly, I don't have to own the card to know how it runs. I can tell by looking at benchmarks from review sites and judging from TC's resolution, it seems like the better card for the money.

 

[mjsharma]

well...if u google u ll find lot of review...some will prove that card to be better
and some will prove the opposite... lol
ok...leave it...y fight on this...
btw wat prob u have wid ur gtx 470?

 

[Averagegai]

Yeah, I'd rather not get into silly arguments xD

Well I'm on my 3rd GTX 470 atm. My first one kept crashing and artifacting during boot-up (at the Windows 7 "Welcome" screen) so I RMAed it. The problem still occur when I put the card into my other computer and replaced my PSU with a Corsair TX750w, btw.

EVGA sent me another one which was beaten up even though they said I was getting a brand new card, not a re-certified one, because the one I sent in was less than 30 days old. The card came all scratched up, but I didn't mind at first. But then as I was playing games, my computer would crash w/o warning. I'm pretty sure it's not my PSU.

With my third card, it likes to cause my computer to randomly shut down while playing SC2, but I think that's mainly due to some driver conflict as the game is still in beta.

I'm not gonna bash on Nvidia just because of my experiences, though. I apologize if it seemed like I was.

 

[mjsharma]

wat r the temps while u r gamin?
reply to this in the other post...

 

[megamanx00]

You won't know if the 460 is worth waiting for till it comes out. If you want something now then get something now.

 

[weehamish]

Wow this thread went off topic!

Tbh the 465 and 460 won't be much price difference? And if the 465 u locks to 470 speeds then why bother waiting? The 465 is bound to be a touch better then he 460.

 

[renz496]

They're claiming the 460 will do 1Ghz clock speeds but i'll wait till i see it

not sure about that but they some sites said that with little volt increase the clock could hit 900mhz. but i'm agree with you. we have to wait until the official review is out. i think that some reviewer already playing around with the card

 

[Rustyy117]

I hope it owns all (for its price). Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[IROC_69]

ok well then i will just wait cause i m not in that hurry since all the good staff will be released after july e.g crysis 2

 

[OvrClkr]

yes, you are better off waiting, you will have more options and better prices =)

Yeah, but at the OP's resolution of 1280x1024... a $150 ATI 5770 is plenty. LOL Unless of course nVidia pulls a fast one with it's naming scheme as usual, and the GTX 460 is faster than the GTX 465.

Yea but he can worry about the monitor later on.. If the 460 can achieve 470 speeds with a nice OC then buying a 5770 would be a waste, even if its 80.00$ cheaper.

 

[Averagegai]

^ That's exactly what I've been trying to say. There's really no need to wait for a stronger, more expensive card, when you can get an HD 5770 right now and be able to play most games pretty well at that resolution. And I don't think the argument about prices dropping if you wait valid because prices will always drop, it's just how the market works. Time is money, if you ask me.

If the OP has any interest in upgrading their monitor (which I honestly think is a very good idea) then I most certainly agree. But, if the OP is not interested in a better monitor, the ATI 5770 is the better option as the GTX 460 would be a waste. Even at 1080p though, I'm still more of a fan of the ATI 5850 or GTX 470, simply because I've never had the greatest luck with OC'ing video cards.

Then again, I personally think everyone should play at 1080p (or higher).
