Which GTX 460 should I buy?

WojtasRed · Mar 22, 2012, 12:56 PM

Or maybe Radeon is a better choice?

brandonwh64 · Mar 22, 2012, 01:04 PM

How much are you looking to spend and were do you live?

WojtasRed · Mar 22, 2012, 01:06 PM

I live in Poland and my budget is 600 złotych.

DarkOCean · Mar 22, 2012, 01:07 PM

They dont even make 460's anymore and the ones that are left are overpriced.

DarkOCean · Mar 22, 2012, 01:20 PM

brandonwh64 · Mar 22, 2012, 01:27 PM

600 złotych means less than $200 about $189.

Any poland websites your order from? Post them an I will take a look

WojtasRed · Mar 22, 2012, 01:47 PM

Is SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 a good choice? It`ll cost me 629 złotych.

I`m looking here:

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 or Gigabyte GTX 560 OC? Same price.

That would be my choice from what's available on that web site and with your budget.

brandonwh64 · Mar 22, 2012, 02:05 PM

If you can swing it, I would get this

MSI GeForce with CUDA GTX 560Ti 1GB (PCI-E) HAWK (N560GTX-Ti Hawk)

Isn`t Gigabyte GTX 560 OC better than SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870?

A non TI version is CRAP, you will regret it in the end. I just linked above a nice MSI 560TI card!

BarbaricSoul · Mar 22, 2012, 02:12 PM

actually, the 6870 is about 3% stronger than the regular non-TI GTX560. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/P...0_2_GB/27.html

I didn't see the MSI card brandonwh64 found. That would be the best card available to you for the money if you can swing that little more over the 6870.

That's for sure a nice card.

it seems that its just a search engine and its just a non ti 560 so go for 6870 then.

WojtasRed · Mar 22, 2012, 02:36 PM

How about Gigabyte 560 Ti OC ? It`ll cost me 700 zlotych.

IMO, I think the MSI one I posted is nicer. I love the HAWK cards

Link?

If you sure its a ''Ti'' the price its ok.

Those are not ti so not wort it. http://www.ceneo.pl/11373749

brandonwh64 · Mar 22, 2012, 02:46 PM

This website your using is not the greatest cause they are miss labeling cards, Most of the Ti cards I found were really the NON TI versions. You do not have another site that ships to poland?

*EDIT*

If they ship to poland?

Asus 1GB GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II TOP NVIDIA Graphics Card

Fatal1ty39 · Mar 22, 2012, 04:25 PM

this is the cheapest one i could find
http://gsklep.eu/pl/vga-gainward-gtx...dr5-pci-e.html
and this a bit cheaper 715zl
http://www.electro.pl/produkt-Karta_...40606,996.html

but its better to do some research on the shop before buying if you can visit the shops.

JrRacinFan · Mar 22, 2012, 04:37 PM

I would opt for the TF2 as it's cooler is proven to be really really good. If you can't justify the premium then get the hawk linked above.

The only issue is the website he was searching lists them as a TI hawk but the sellers are posting non TI and different model numbers. He should search another website that ships to Poland
