Hi!
Ok first off I don´t like the idea of upgrading because my current system can power all game I play at reasonable resolution and detail BUT from the start on my Palit GTX 275 caused problems:
I remember when I bought it a little under a year ago (has 2 years warranty) I played some Wolfenstein Enemy Territory and my PC shut down all the sudden and rebooted without any blue-screen after not too long game-time Then I ran couple of 3DMark06´s and it did nothing like that.
I should have brought it back then when I still had my old 8800GT to cope without the 275 while it is in RMA but now I have no card as temporary replacement and so I thought: Screw it and get a better one that works like a CHARM and sell the 275 you get from RMA
For some strange reason I could live with my card for this time even though I usually start a revolution to get my PC in mint condition.
The problems with the card were not too severe in all games I played the time I owned this card. I could trust my PC not to shut down with Fallout 3 for some reason. I really can´t recall that this problem was a paid in the ass with that particular game but now that I started playing Warhammer Online I lose my nerve with about 10 shutdowns this very day even though I have a fresh Windows install with the newest NV drivers + 100% fan-speed (just be sure) while gaming.
It could also be that the card is degrading somehow (VRAM I guess) because even though the GPU temp is not higher than ~62C (in Warhammer) with fan on full-speed, it shutdown my rig.
I have cleaned the cooler with compressed air once in a while and so it can´t be dust that´s causing it. Maybe it could be the TIM that is not properly in placed since the start on because the GFX is not responding too well with lower temps by upping the fans-speed. At least this impression I got since it´s only ~10C cooler with max. fan.
Replacing the TIM myself would void the warranty since there is a sticker that indicates the removal of the cooler on the card so I don´t want to look silly in the end.
I am a little troubled about the RMA procedure. They could only test with 3DMark06 or other program, one run or something which would not be enough to cause this symptom I have now and they could even charge me money in the shop I got it from (10€) for an "unnecessary" RMA.
BTW, I have never had this problem in 2D environments or even Win7 Aero.
Long story but please help me in deciding if a 460 is a good choice.
I read somewhere that the 275 has 219W TDP and the 460 180W so I would save money on the e-bill if I really start to game as much Warhammer as I fear I soon will.
With my current system would I even see any difference in FPS if I upgrade?
Also I wonder what is a 465? Is it the 1GB version of the 460?
I am on a tight budged guys/gals so don’t suggest 470´s or 480´s or to wait till a die-shrink on the Fermi.
Thx for reading! TPU forever!
