GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) GV-N460OC-1GI Video Card

Comment:
Offers significant overall performance increase compared to previous generation video cards in graphics-intensive games like Crysis Warhead. Plays each and every game I throw at it smoothly. None so far. Built a new Pc. Applied my old nVidia 8800 GTS 512MB video card for a handful of months with decent results. Finally bought this new GTX 460 1GB card when on sale plus a rebate. Right here are the improvements: Big raise in frames-per-second on all games; Crysis Warhead runs smoother on HIGH settings than it did with my old card on MEDIUM settings. This new card also runs noticeably cooler, and the twin fans are absolutely quieter. In reality, the whole rig (with its low-speed case fans) is quiet enough that it has grow to be our household theater Pc. That alone created this GigaByte video card worth obtaining! The new Pc has a Gigabyte motherboard/Core i3 540 bundle combo, Arctic Freezer 7 Pro heatsink/fan, 4GB G-Ability DDR3-1600 RAM, Corsair 750W power provide, Hitachi 500GB difficult drive, Antec 200 case + two added Coolermaster 120mm fans. CPU overclocked to three.68GHz employing GigaByte EZTune software program.

only if it stops crashing my Windows I picked this card mainly because Gigabyte was a good brand when I worked in the Computer industry a whilst back. However it begins crashing the personal computer I built for my brother in law from day one particular. Immediately after identifying it as the result in of the BSODs (debugging dumps, swapping cards etc.), I decided to give it additional opportunity due to the fact I think most Hardware troubles are caused by imcompatibility, not genuine defects. So I gave my personal video card to my brother in law and utilised this one particular in my personal laptop or computer for the last couple months. I managed to decrease the BSOD frequency by using MSI Afterburnner to downclock the card. Even so I had to give up due to the fact 1) It nonetheless crashes each and every few hours (it was possibly crashing every single half hour before downclockingƜ) MSI Afterburnner is not a service. As a outcome, the downclocking does not kick in at the log on screen. Thus if I boot up my computer with no logging in for a although, it will crash or hang. 1. I would by no means obtain a overclocked video card again. Trading reliability for minor overall performance improvement only is not correct.2. I had built 5+ PCs (mostly medium to higher end) from NewEgg in the previous 3 years and this is the only aspect that I will have to request a RMA.

Supplied dual monitors - even though it lasted. Right after 2 weeks, the card just died. Windows Vista ࿀ bit) no longer recognized the hardware. Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers did not function. Went back over physical installation. No luck either. As a side note, I have a 750 W P/S with the dual Molex connectors that this GPU requires. My system shouldn't be an situation When I initial saw the card on Newegg, with the quite a few good evaluations, I couldn't wait for it to arrive (and it did, speedily). Nevertheless, I'll search far more closely at the unfavorable critiques in future, and avoid Gigabyte altogether.

Good priceWhen it works, great card Card locks up intermittently - tried replacing every other element in my process (which is why I'm now previous the RMA date) to be certain. Does it much less typically when underclocked, which leads me to believe this card was not adequately QCed at the factory in the very first place. Would've been good, if it lived up to the hype. Unlike what some other people today have said, I shouldn't even have to think about an RMA "because the item is good when it performs." Manufacturer Response:Dear Client,Thank you for your comments.

Strong card. Runs anything I throw at it at 1920x1080 with no problems, such as SC2 @ Ultra Settings, STALKER @ Max, Oblivion with all settings maxed.Overclocked to 800 Core, 1600 Shader, 1850 Memory, holds stable with no artifacting and a max temp of 63C with fan @ one hundred%. I do wish I had a specific competitor's tool that permits for overclocked-artifact-scanning. It doesn't make me coffee in the morning. It's significantly less expensive now than it was when I bought it last summer. Not too long ago upgraded complete Pc. Jumped from an ATI x1600 PRO 512MB to this beauty.Will finish up picking up a 2nd 1 of these to throw into SLI for the future when I can spare some cash.

Capable to deal with any game i had at complete graphics.. whilst it lasted Sadly, I'm but a different who has fallen victim to this faulty card. I've attempted every little thing from putting in the most up-to-date drivers to switching ram, and ive determined that theres no reason for my crashing other than this card! Nivida in common is a pretty lame video card company -- under no circumstances purchasing yet another 1 of their goods again.

Slight overclock and the pricing make this a good model. The dual fans keep it nice and cool. None on my finish. Apparently Gigabyte has had a negative batch of cards and I wanted to chime in and say that I purchased my card in early August 2010 and it's nonetheless running good. No graphical errors or BSOD. So, don't let all the negative reviews scare you off. If you get a busted card, Gigabyte will take care of you and after some hassle (shipping, waiting, and so on.) you'll nevertheless end up with a superior card.

Worked like a dream, playing any game of my selection just wonderfully, until it crashed. Card basically died after roughly 5 months of ownership. At first it started artifacting on particular games, at which I thought at initially was a driver difficulty, then it only started crashing my pc shortly right after. Wasn't even hot, simply stopped working. Very disappointing. Even though the card was wonderful at 1st, you are superior off buying some thing else, hunting on the internet I see a lot of people complaining about card failure.

Video card works for each game I presently own some 216 on max settings some of the games getting Starcraft 2, Dawn of War II, Crysis, and Lord of the Rings on the web. The card operates for each game that I personal while it will randomly shut off for no identified cause. The video card doesn't get hot, or overloaded. The only games that it doesn't randomly shut off on are Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario Brothers ect.. Its a decent card as lengthy as Gigabyte stands by their warranty it must be a decent purchase. As with quite a few other customers I have small doubt that this card will ultimately fail. I can only hope that by way of their warranty repair method I get a replacement than mail them the defective card. Manufacturer Response:Dear Client,Thank you for your comments.

Dual screens - though it lasted. Had difficulty proper from the initially boot. BSOD and slow boot occasions. A complete reinstall (hardware and software program) did nothing at all to assist. A tiny much more than ten days of ownership, the GPU gave up the ghost and failed. My program, even though not cutting edge, has the energy to take care of this particular GPU. I'm not certain if this is a manufacturers or a Nvidia situation. Many of the 460s have poor ratings linked with them. Manufacturer Response:Dear Buyer,Thank you for your comments.

Rapidly and decent value Dead right after Installing Win 7 and use of about two hours. The PCB looked strange to me upon installation. I have worked in the electronics field for over 15 years, and the card appeared to be a refurb - or at least had concerns prior to shipment. I will tell you this is going back, and by the looks of the other evaluations - I will be finding a different card for certain

Comment:
Low fan sounds, and the more than-clocked cores do not contribute significantly heat. Ran at full load this card gets to about 26-30 degrees C. With a gigabyte mobo these two things feels they were made for each and every other. I did not see to substantially of an raise in performence amongst this and my old BFGTech: GeForce 260OC My create:Monitor: Samsung 23" PX2370Motherboard: Bibgabyte- LGA 1156 (GA-P55-USB3)CPU: i5-760 Lynnfield 2.8GHzMemory: G.Ability 4GB-DDR3 1333 Dual ChannelPower Provide: 1000W ThermalriteCase: Antec Nine Hundred Two(All bought from Newegg)

Cost, rebate, no cost-game. I haven't even tested this in my most recent game, which is Fallout New Vegas (which my old BFG 9800 GTX handled fine at max settings)...but will report back on that, and on Dragon Age 2, inside the subsequent few weeks. All these people rating the item poorly can't be incorrect - and look at how typically Gigabyte reps are responding (!!) - absolutely red flags. I'm just going to hope I'm not back on editing my critique and stating how the card crapped out on me. Ordered on the 7th, around midnight, got it on the 9th, in the afternoon. Blazingly rapid shipping as usually, Newegg.

i like it. it functions nicely. powers games at high fps. the hdmi isn't to shabby either. the mini-hdmi to hdmi port is kinda fat. I had to file it down a bit to make it plug into my port with no bumping into my case but if you don't have a case that would block it, it ought to fit fine. if not, just file it down like i did :)

Video Card Renders everything I have played. It runs SCII at the highest settings, LOTRO at the highest settings, and also Dawn of War at the highest settings without having skipping a beat. This video card has two DVI ports and one particular HDMI mini port. Though the DVI ports perform properly and are functional my HDMI port stopped working immediately after about two months of use. Upon inspection I have determined that the port wasn't developed to really help the weight of a regular HDMI cable. If you have the cable hanging from above the port it will bend upwards. If you have it hanging beneath the port it will bend downwards be aware of this. Overall its a good card stays around 60 degree C normally doesn't get higher. I wish the HDMI port was in a position to actually assistance the weight of the cable mainly because if you can't plug something into it why have the port...

Performs well on my method while from time to time bottlenecked by my CPU.Excellent value from Newegg None Puts out far much less heat than my previous ATI HD4850, awesome how much much less heat.I tried overclocking, and it worked just fine. But contemplating it is mainly bottlenecked by my CPU the gains were not justified so it's running at stock speeds now.

Comment:
I had two of these operating in SLI perfectly. Ran any game that I threw at them at max settings. Kept somewhat cool also. SLI started bugging out, personal computer began freezing. Booted up on every single card individually, discovered that one particular card was dead. I guess it's time to send it in.

Comment:
Its tricky to tell in the photos but thats a metal grill all over the face of the card. I believed I looked it over just before I purchased it but then when it arrived and I pulled it out I was blown away. Its like unwrapping liquid metal hotness out of the box. Its hands-down the nicest card (graphics or otherwise) Ive ever purchased.My gf truly believed it was anything for the harley as an alternative of the computer. Im not making that up.Its also quietInstall was a breeze, its stable and is fast. The only con is that I only bought 1 when obviously these babies hunt very best in pairs. Its a good card and you wont be dissappointed. I had no trouble installing, got it at a excellent value, its truly great seeking and it plays my games. Incredibly satisfied
