460 MSI

[snoogins]

Alright, trying to figure this out.

Figured from the reviews, instead of getting a 5850, I'd go with a gtx 460.

Now, from reading further on this site, it would seem that many users have suggested the MSI Cyclone.

My question is --
Will this card work in a Lian Li A05n case? (I won't be able to get the top panel until it comes back into stock at newegg)

*oh and the 460 (1gb) is good for 1920x1080 right?

Thanks guys

I'm not sure if it will fit in the case but the gtx460 is shorter than the 5850 so if your case fits a 4870/5850, it will fit a gtx460. A gtx460 768mb should also do well @ 1080p. 1gb if you want better performance

Alright, it will fit, but will it be an issue with 1920x1080, and for anyone that knows about the a05n, will the card/heat issue be an issue without the top blowhole?

you might have to get another 460 or pay more. MSI's 460gtx 1gb is sold out pretty much everywhere and is like $250+ at a few other online places, which is 15 to 20 dollars more than on Newegg. It's sold out on a lot of websites. I just went through all the website retailers linked to MSI's website.

It should be fine to play 1920x1080. It can go up to 2560x1600
