Best GeForce GTX 460 1GB?

[sikcle]

What is the best overall GTX 460 1GB in terms performance, price, temperature, noise level?
Is the Palit Sonic heating/noise issue as bad as they say?
Which cooling system is better in the long run? MSi's cyclone or GIGABYTE's Windforce 2x?

MSI cyclone any day. We have had lots of really good feed back from that card. I wouldnt touch the Palit with your barge poll.

Hmm never been anywhere near any MSI cards so I have no clue how good they are, cards we use most here for Nvidia is Zotac and they are lovely cards though they do ehat up a fair bit its all within good levels.. the Palit stuff Not too sure on.. we might be expanding into carrying a huge line of their cards soon and if we do ill know more but ive had a fair few people saying they are really good and that and a fair few saying they arnt so its pretty unbalanced on them... but I like Zotac.. Never had MSI stuff but they look good so ide say Zotac or MSI is prolly a good to go for

Its not so much that tehe cards are bad as the bad taste it leaves when they point blank lie to you or send seperiour cards to testers compared to what joe publuic gets. Zotac are a bit better than Palit inmy honest opinion but neither can touch teh MSI card for all round performance heat and noise.
