Forget the 5770 the 460 kills it stone dead. Ah just noticed in your link that its a 460 SE your looking at. Thats somewhat differant to a non SE 460, take a look here http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gainward/GeForce_GTX_460_SE/1.html
Consider waiting about 5 days for the release of the GTX 560 if you want better performance.

thanks, i also forgot to mention in my original post my price limit is about $200

 

[dolloff]

Also, would it be better to go with a non SE version of the 460?

Also, would it be better to go with a non SE version of the 460?

basically it was like this:

GTX460 SE (256bit, 1GB RAM, 288SP) < GTX460 (192bit, 768MB RAM, 336SP) < GTX460 (256bit, 1GB RAM, 336SP)

GTX460 768MB is slightly faster than the SE one. but if you're getting GTX460 get the one that have 1GB memory without SE suffix. i think that the GTX460 SE meant to replace the one with 768MB ram. around my place i never see them anymore. it is either the normal one or SE one. you can also wait for GTX560 if you can add a bit more to your budget. so far the rumor i heard about the card is good (such as pre-overclocked card will be clocked at 1Ghz out of the box).

 

[dolloff]

So would upgrading the card create any bottlenecks in my system?

 

[renz496]

i don't think so. you got nice cpu in your box

 

[dolloff]

Ok thanks, browsing newegg I just noticed an Evga gtx465 fermi superclocked for 179.99 after rebates, would this also be a good choice?

No, the 465 is based off GF100, very hot.

The 460's are based off GF104, power optimised and produce less heat with very good performance.

Stick with the 460.

Ok thanks I'm not the best when in come to graphics cards

It's no problem, these intricacies are lost on a good number of people, only the real tech-heads will properly know the differences and ramifications of such differences.

Anyway yeah, avoid the 465.

Personally, i have a Palit 460, it's really really good. You won't regret buying one.

What monitor do you use? The 5770 can be purchased a lot cheaper than a 460, but it's also lower performance.

The main issue is what performance you need, and that can be determined by your monitor resolution. Also, are you wanting to get as much power from your system as you can for $200, or are you looking to spend only as much as you need for good performance?

 

[dolloff]

I'm gettin a new monitor at the same time probably an asus vw245h but yeah think ive picked my card an evga gtx 460 tr it come with just cause 2 and is $189.99 after rebate

 

[dolloff]

And I don't need to spend all 200$ just want good performance that can run pretty much everything

 

[Griffolion]

Good choice.

Remember that there will be an amount of headroom for overclocking the GPU too for extra performance.

For the new monitor, I agree, the gtx 460 1gb is a good card for you and as everyone has already mentioned, avoid the 768mb and SE versions.

Best answer selected by DOlloff.

 

[dolloff]

so there wont be any power issues either do you think?

 

[renz496]

should be fine. you have plenty of power with your PSU. not sure about the quality though since i never heard the brand

 

[bystander]

You have more than enough power.

 

[dolloff]

ok thank you guys for all your help
