GTX460 2Gb or smthing else

[RobisssLV]

Hi


Im stll searching a GPU for my system and i just received a mail that GTX460 2Gb is released. Is it good on 1280x1024 and is it better than HD6950 2Gb?

 

[shrkbay]

no, GTX 460 2GB is the same thing as GTX 460 1GB, just more memory, and i'm sure it doesn't even use full amount of it's memory, it's not even close to 6950 2GB and is *like the 1GB* worse than 6850

At 1280x1024 a GTX240 is probably overkill as it is, let alone with an extra 1GB of memory

Oww thanks for the quick reply.
Then im gonna take the HD6950 2Gb

^Damn overkill

^Damn overkill

But futureproof. My objective is to max out every game(except Crysis and Metro 2033) with 50+ fps. Thats why i got a i5 760 3.2Ghz CPU.

 

[RobisssLV]

Oww and i want to max out games for about 2years further.

Both those cards are overkill at that resolution. Do you plan to upgrade your monitor soon?

Not soon, maybe in next 3 years.
I dont actually care if its overkill.
More fps, better feeling for me

What cpu do you have, it could end up restricting those gpu at that resolution.

Intel i5 760 2.8Ghz OC'ed to 3.2Ghz (maybe ill go higher)

6950 on that res will max out metro 2033 with 60FPS vsync on :lol:, up to you, sure you don't wanna wait till new series come out? probably Q3-Q4 this year

 

[Embra]

your cpu is just fine. I would really recommend amonitor upgrade at some point with those cards.

Well, thats a good idea. Im just 13 and im gonna get 150$ at the end of school from my parents and in summer i will save money for my PC.

 

[RobisssLV]

When exactly will the HD7xxx series come out and will they be much better than HD6xxx series with the new 28nm technology?

 

[shrkbay]

what cpu are you running. At that resolution your putting a lot of effort onto the cpu

Intel i5 760 2.8Ghz OC'ed to 3.2Ghz (maybe ill go higher)

OP: it's unknown when they will come out, but there are a lot of rumours saying new series will come out Q3 2011, but that's hard to believe *at least seems to me*, 28nm technology will bring us up to 40% more performance for up to 40% less power

The current fastest product hold itself as dual gpu single card is the ati 6990 but the ati 6950cf 1gb out performs it.Why didnt you ask us at the cpu forum of the best cpu available?

 

[shrkbay]

EVGA 2win is better than 6950, but i'm sure it'll cost a lot, like 400$, and it's a dual GPU setup = SLI = issues

Because he wants to choose a graphic card not a CPU, 6990 is a damn load of issues, and 6950 1GB CF does NOT out perform it, why does he need the best CPU?

your very young..with $150 you could go for the

I was just disappointed with the cpu selected.i5 760.

^ he is in Latvia, the prices are a bit higher there *like almost everywhere in EU*, and these you listed do not beat that one:

You might consider getting a better monitor - your visual experience may be be better served with a 22" monitor + cheaper graphics card.

If you're gonna have all that extra power left with your vid card, make sure to turn supersampling on at 8x. It will get rid of almost all those jagged edges. Multisampling is a waste of fps.

 

[kristoffe]

you cant afford either with $150
