5750 or 5770 if you want to risk it. If you insist on staying with Nvidia, then the GTS450.


what is the difrence between say a:
GTS450 from MSI
GTS450 from SPARKLE
GTS450 from ASUS
What do these different company's names stand for?

The performance difference should be nothing. Usually the difference is in bundle or warranty. Who do I trust? Asus, MSI, Uncle Jim down the street, and then Sparkle. I have no idea what the names stand for, probably nothing.

I can attest to the 450.

I've got this one...

I got mine at microcenter, you pay more up front, but if you take a chance with the rebate, it's supposed to bring the card to 85. I came from a 9600gt also, mine didn't die, sold it. But the 450 is great for it's price.

As far as brands, MSI is good, Sparkle not sure on. ASUS is supposed to be good.

On the Galaxy brand, I've had good luck. My 9600gt was a factory overclocked card. I had that for about 2-3 years, then sold it to my buddy who built a system, but didn't get his video card yet. He was puttering along on a gt220, so I sold it to him as a holdover until he gets a better card, but it's still running fine for him also.

Depends on the 460, but even if you had an SE 460 it would probably be faster. Either of the normal GTX460s would be faster.

Unless you have a very new 450W PSU you'll need a new one for the 460.

Thats what I thought my PSU needs an upgrade too.
