GTX 460 or ATi 5830

[ebolamonkey3]

Go for the GTX 460 1gb, but I don't think it can touch the 5850 w/o some heavy OC though.

And what a coincidence... I too have been running my 7600GS for 3 years...

well your not the only one! I am currently running a 7600GS. going to wait for prices to become acceptable around £100 / $150. no doubt they will, just a matter of time.

You two were never meant for high end components otherwise you'll of replaced that 4 year 7600GS ages ago. There is nothing wrong with skating on the lowend or midrange hardware but its important that you actually make the leap and buy eventually. You will be waiting for cards to drop prices forever as time flies by in a flash.

With £100 GBP you can buy a respectable 5750 1GB or GTS 250, granted they're not as fast as the GTX 460 but its plenty fast enough for today's games and its still a massive upgrade from a 7600 GS.

I finished ordering me The Gigabyte GTX460 1GB, i am so happy, i cant wait to see what improvements i get over my aging 8800 GTS 320mb

+1 for me was thinking hd5850 but since the gtx460 came out i changed my mind, gtx460 atw, that's my next upgrade, can hardly wait then down the road sli later, maybe around that time amd will come out with more boards to support sli

should i run benchmark in 1280 x 1024, or 1680 x 1050 ?

go with the same res with your last card to compare

go with the same res with your last card to compare

you got it, as soon as i receive the new card i will post up both resolutions, should receive it by friday the latest.

 

[Corduroy_Jr]

cool stuff, lets to see some benchmarks cause i want to get the the same card

 

[ebolamonkey3]

Darn... I was hoping to see a twin frozr version from MSI, but it seems like they'll only have the cyclone version

 

[mATrIxLord]

yeah.... i cant wait for the GTX 460 to come out... i have a 8600GT 512MB EVGA card... it runs the games pretty good but with a lot of OC in order to keep up....

It came out 1 week ago, you need to catch up with the news.

You are in the same situation as Aleksander Dishnica and Choppy. I will copy and past the same advice:


You two were never meant for high end components otherwise you'll of replaced that 4 year 7600GS ages ago (8600GT in your case). There is nothing wrong with skating on the lowend or midrange hardware but its important that you actually make the leap and buy eventually. You will be waiting for cards to drop prices forever as time flies by in a flash.

With £100 GBP or even $100 you can buy a respectable 5750 1GB or GTS 250, granted they're not as fast as the GTX 460 but its plenty fast enough for today's games and its still a massive upgrade from a 7600 GS (or 8600GT in your case).

At least me, i am not waiting for time, but money. I was never meant for high end???
I am not that fool to buy 5870 or GTX 480 in a time i can play ALL games with a card like this one i have now. Plus i know a lot how the hardware goes and that is not a dream. One thing is to note for the people in this forum - In one thread someone said:
I have had 7800GT and i could not play Assasin's creed 2. Imagine with yours. And i replied immediately to "embarrase" that computer wizzard with a assasin's creed 2 screenshot. I just want to embarrase you too, mentioning that: 7600GS is and will be always the best card for least money and i am not going to buy GTX 480, cuz i know that only a fool is going to buy that. With that money i can open a new business here. I have enough money to buy a 2000$ computer, but i want to make the money myself, not mamma and papa. GOT IT???
Anyway, i was meant for high end here in Albania since i had one of the first personal computers that passed here in 1995.
The GTX 480 is not for me, cuz i will never ever use 2x 50" screens to play, cuz i am not blind. I can open photoshop and use it like a real pro, earning 500$ a month. I modify photos with my 7600GS and earn money more than anyone of you ever meant. I have earned an Intel badge here in Albania as number two in balkan because of my innovation against teenagers. Number one was someone who designed a laptop battery button. That is real high end. So another time, people like you offend me in this way, pls take a consideration that you are totally wrong. Nowdays even Apple or Microsoft have not innovated such thing as a laptop battery button. The guy who invented that is an albanian and is considered as number two in the world as a teenager inventor. Lenovo and other laptop companies which make money from you, offered him 1 million dollars to buy his patent and put it in laptops, but he didn't sell it. You tell me i was never meant in high end??? when you pay money to buy that core i7??? or i5 or i3??? and your money come to me???????
Out of senses!!! If you want proof i will put the badge in this forum and make you happy

 

[Corduroy_Jr]

forget about that 7600gs its slow and cannot play any new games, matter of fact your whole system us a walking bottleneck

 

[OnBoard]

I finished ordering me The Gigabyte GTX460 1GB, i am so happy

(edit: just noticed that you have same mobo+cpu and with identical OC too Even same display resolution and OS so your results will be appless to apples for my 5770 )

cool stuff, lets to see some benchmarks cause i want to get the the same card

Pics and temps and noise tests too! Wanting the same thing, but not in stock anywhere yet. Oh and price also went up as everyone wants it..

i cant wait to see what improvements i get over my aging 8800 GTS 320mb

It'll blow your mind away, had 8800gt, 9800gtx+, gtx280 and downgraded to this. So I went from minimal improvement to huge improvement to a bit slower and GTX 460 will be some 20% faster than current

 

[Corduroy_Jr]

eh now i pulled 16k the other day with a single 8800gt which in my books is pretty damm good

 

[Corduroy_Jr]

actually 16.5k in 3dmark06

 

[GenTarkin]

Can get GTX 460 for $170 ish at tigerdirect.com with right now if you use the 15.2% bing cashback =)...I just ordered mine doing that =)

 

[mdsx1950]

+1 to all who said GTX 460.

 

[Dent1]

At least me, i am not waiting for time, but money. I was never meant for high end???

Exactly, you are not meant for high end which is why you need to be looking at midrange i.e. The 5750, 5770, GTS 250 and the upcoming GTS 450.

I am not that fool to buy 5870 or GTX 480 in a time i can play ALL games with a card like this one i have now.

Nobody telling you to buy a 5870 or GTX 480, that would be rediculous. But what was suggested is a midrange card of today i.e. the 5750, 5770, GTS 250 etc.

I just want to embarrase you too, mentioning that: 7600GS is and will be always the best card for least money

Maybe 4 years ago, but time moves on.

and i am not going to buy GTX 480, cuz i know that only a fool is going to buy that. With that money i can open a new business here.

The GTX 480 is not for me, cuz i will never ever use 2x 50" screens to play, cuz i am not blind.

Again nobody is recommending the GTX 480, but instead a midrange 5750, 5770, GTS 250 etc.

You tell me i was never meant in high end??? when you pay money to buy that core i7??? or i5 or i3??? and your money come to me???????

I have no clue what you are trying to say. But what i'm trying to say is invest in "midrange" components which are actually good in 2010 and NOT in high end components you will stand a better chance of having a decent rig and have the money to upgrade more frequently.

yeah... i missed that part when i wrote my reply.. can't wait for the OC MSI version of the GTX 460...

actually you can overclock yourself, i think its much better, the gigabyte card i got, someone overclocked it from 715mhz to 875mhz with slight overvoltage and fan set to 60% instead of 40%, thats a huge leap, im definetly going to be doing that. At least it should attain better FPS and scores on benchmarks.

yeah... i'll be doing that too, but the MSI version of the GTX 460 can be overclocked beyond 900 mhz if properly cooled..
