Randomacts Or you could just get a GTX 460.... I'm 90% sure the price will drop sometime from this friday till next friday.Reply -
Why isn't the noise each card makes tested? Any company could throw a vacuum cleaner on a card and call it the fastest.Reply

carlhenry i have a palit gts 450 sonic (not platinum, clocked at 880MHz). very satisfied with it and can play everything (except crysis) on maximum settings @ 1680x1050. nvidia should lower the prices a bit and this card will be the bang for the buck!Reply -
wribbs I agree Randomacts; A pimped out 450 leaves me at half mast at best. Maybe there are a few people out there that a 450 is all they want but seriously just get a 460 or 5770/5830.Reply -

aznshinobi Well then, I guess arctic cooling can really make VGA cooling, especially since ECS and Sparkle use its cooling.Reply -
jestersage I was hoping a GTX460 and an HD5770/5830 reference cards/price would also be included. It would have helped those considering to cards in a somewhat expanded range of choices to make a more meaningful decision.Reply -
jestersage Interesting... I'd go for an MSI card or Zotac card then if those were my only options.Reply

quiky87 I would also really have liked to see than noise level in this article especially as I would consider one of these cards for an HTPC where noise is critical.Reply -
sudeshc Agreed Noise level test would have made this article near perfect.Reply
