Which one would you recommend:

ASUS GTX 465 or MSI N465GTX-M2D1G?

Specs:

i7-930 2.80 Ghz
6 GB Corsair Dominator RAM
ASUS P58X Mobo
1 TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM

Oh, and sidenote: Am thinking about running SLI in the near future.

Thanks!

What price are you paying for these? Just curious becuase if your getting them from the store they may still be higher priced (the 465 recently droppd in price quite a bit) in which case a GTX 460 1GB version would be better.

Just food for thought.

Well, I'm getting both online, and I did happen to look at the 1 GB 460, which come to be about the same price as these. In the end with the rebate you're pretty much paying the same price for both, so I'm pretty sure the 465 a better choice.

Naah gtx 465 is slower than the gtx 460 ..so go with the gtx 460.

And also...is the superclocked version really worth the extra 10 bucks?

The GTX 460 is indeed slightly better than the GTX 465. It also uses less power and runs cooler. The two best models are the MSI Cyclone and the ASUS DirectCU;

The free game is good and worth the extra $10 imo.
