New VGA

Even at lower clocks the rop/shader counts are slightly higher. So even at a lower core clock they help with performance. Also have the little bit extra mem buffer. Overclock yourself if needed but doubt you will need to.

Would it be bad if the 460 will be SE version? Because Im not sure by my shop, they sometimes have wrong info posted...

/Oh great.. Good that I checked it.. Its the SE version (127€).. The normal is 165€
//GIGABYTE N460OC-1GI - 146€... I'm totally confused right now

Yes. It's a big difference up to 20% slower also check it's the 1GB version.
for the "good" GTX460 stock the specs are:

336 CUDA cores
core clock 675
shader clock 1350
mem clock 1800
1GB DDR5
mem interface width 256 bit.

there is also a v2 version. Check the full specs here:

Is the one with 192bit mem slower?
Also, this appears to be the only good one I can find

Yes it is, but unless your planning on upgrading your monitor, I don't think it will matter much. The GTX460 se is plenty powerful for a 19" 1280 x 1024 resolution monitor.

Ok guys, sorry but I bought HD6850
It runs well on my PSU and even power consumption is lower in burn than the HD4730..
Only a little problem with FAN readings..
I bought the Gigabyte Windforce 2X OC edition. The clocks are good, card it self in idle go from 820/1050 to 100/150, but the readings of fan speed is bit mismatch. It constantly jumps from 2400rpm to 3300, to 5500 and the readings go even for 108,000rpm lol
Its same in GPU-Z, MSI Afterburner... Btw card is very quiet

So it works on your old PSU?

 

[blue.dot]

Why, shouldn't it?
Although I think I'm using it on maximum, as I can hear inductors.. Still not as loud as it was with HD4730 (god who thought it will be good idea to cripple 4870 performance but let the same power consumption.)

I bet at full load you are hearing CAP whine coming from the PSU. I would suggest changing it soon or you may have to buy alot more than just a new PSU.

How does 4730 and 4870 connect to each other?

What do you mean by connect?

Btw, aren't my Pixel and Texture Fillrate lower than most of 6850s?

 

[HD64G]

I mean they have a different core and 4730 isn't a crippled 4870 core.

Nope.
