When it worked it was great. It ran Heaven Benchmark with out a hitch. It started acting up a couple months following I bought it. Will not run a straightforward net browser like Chrome now. Pixelates. Leaves artifacts on the screen. Freezes from time to time and the laptop or computer has to be rebooted, I am not so positive the OC was such a good notion. It's like living constantly on the edge. Sooner or later you fall. I purchased it from newegg last August. Manufacturer Response:Dear Customer,Thank you for your comments.

Very same as prior to. Supposed to get one of them back xmas eve. Very same as just before. Failure rate. No cross-shipping RMA. Obviously math isn't your robust suit, so I'll assist. I bought my 2 cards for SLi at launch for 230 apiece. Now add in 4 separate RMAs (so far) @ ㅅ shipping every single. Are we at 500 but?As for your conspiracy theory, I have no grudge against Gigabyte, and I'm positive the other reviewers do not either. In truth, I have a p45 board from them that has been flawless, and is portion of the cause I bought these in the very first place.You can choose to ignore the several 1 egg critiques (all claiming the exact same failure... coincidence?) if you wish, but at your own risk. You haven't even had the card for a month yet, I don't feel you're qualified to speak to its reliability. Give it a different three months, if it hasn't failed by then possibly you got lucky.Why do you think these cards are so cheap? Provide and demand. Men and women are listening and not shopping for this model anymore. That's the beauty of the evaluation method.

Worked excellent for about 6 weeks. Decent Temperatures and quiet. Games are at present not playing any longer, Video driver keeps crashing, Personal computer videos freeze about just about every 5 minutes, Temperatures are acquiring worse considering that I received the card, I have tried diverse drivers from Nvidia and that did not fix the dilemma. I have also tried playing games on lower settings that also did not fix something, I have produced certain to preserve my case air flow optimized to make confident it wasn't the GPU overheating and that is also not a challenge, This card is just poor and I'm not precisely sure how they get away with sending out this numerous of negative cards! The OCCT v3.1. GPU test reported about 13 million errors in 10 minutes ahead of my technique totally crashed!, Overall I am very sad that Gigabyte let a item into the industry with SOOOOOO numerous errors and complications. I am about to RMA the card and we will see how factors go from there. Thing is if this RMA goes by way of well I will update my review and most likely give the card a few additional eggs if items operate effectively for much more than 6 weeks. If points go wrong and the card comes back messed up again or has comparable issues within the first few months I WILL By no means Purchase FROM GIGABYTE Once again!!!!!

Worked wonderful on MW2. Played perfect at leading resolution even with 4x AA. Quit operating well following a few months. Terrible artifacts, lock-ups, driver failures, and what not. Couldn't watch videos or play games!I believed my machine went bad so I started to look at doing a full rebuild and finding yet another one particular of these for SLI. When I read some of the other critiques I realized that I have the identical problems as everybody else. My roommate got a single also and immediately after discussing it with him he is getting the same issue with artifacts/driver failures/etc. He didn't comprehend the video card was poor either until reading these testimonials.I truly wish this didn't go negative because I wanted to SLI!!!

GTX460. It is what it is. Item design flaw - Vital. Cooling. It's apparent from the Several testimonials, explaining artifacting on the desktop, freezes through video games, and so on, that they genuinely nailed the pooch on this one. These began for me soon after just 3 months. I'm mad due to the fact I have to deal without a card till this one is "fixed" or replaced. There need to be a plan that makes it possible for us to submit proof of acquire to get an solution to get a unique card upon submission due to the apparent style flaw. I don't want the same item once again due to the fact I wanted to SLI down the road. Manufacturer Response:Dear Consumer,Thank you for your comments.

Enjoyable though it lasted? It died just outside the newegg RMA period. Spent a couple of months RMAing gigabyte items in my machine (don't have the type of budget to just replace items left and right...). The 460 is a good card. I'd just remain away from the gigabyte version (and gigabyte goods in general). Manufacturer Response:Dear Client,Thank you for your comments.

When card was functional, it ran good. Really easy OC, runs cool with 2 fans. Got 60 FPS on WoW, Just Cause two and was getting 45 FPS on Crysis 2 demo on max setting. Like several other reviews, my card suffered from a freezing problem following two weeks of use. For the duration of boot or immediatley after it would lock up the entire program. Only way I get could computer to full boot was to run secure mode, uninstall all the Nvidia drivers and run the card with no drivers. Had to RNA, switched to ATI. Don't run the threat, just get a much more stable card. If it works, it is a wonderful card for the income, if it works. Manufacturer Response:Dear Client,Thank you for your comments.

It ran quickly if you could get it past POST. If you have a Asus 980a or 890a chipset board, I'd advise seeking elsewhere. They don't play nice with this card with no a LOT of tweaking, and even then it's not a certain thing. I had to use a 2nd devoted power provide and adjust the PCIe voltage just to get it past POST on an M2N98TD Evo and nonetheless had to use the MemOK function Every single time I booted it since of the voltage weirdness this card exhibits at start out. I know it's all in the name of Eco-tardism, which is excellent, but it seriously sucks when you have a energy sensitive mobo. Do your reseach 1st!!! The 400 series cards are a bigger dice shoot than Anything I've ever noticed from NVidia. You may be OK, but there's a LOT much more epic FAILS compared to something just before the 400's.

I Promise.Google- nvidia gtx 460 display driver stopped responding -See what you come up with. Due to the fact day 1- the drivers seem to be messed up..as It consistently says " Drivers has stopped operating ... and has been Recovered by windows" This is typically followed by the screen breaking up into Pie like peices....Very Frustrating. Nvidia said to update my MoBo Bios....<-- did it and did not support. Gigabyte has accomplished absolutely nothing But...also Incredibly difficult to come across a Operating link to their site. Quite a few driver updates and nonetheless not working for me << 1ǘ of the time>> some issues seem to be from windows explorer updates too :( after reserching my troubles I notice 1 thing...Quite a few Several Others Have the very same problem. I purchased this brand since I loved Nvidia cards < Not Now tho> The reason I upgraded to this GTX 460 card and paid so considerably..was, I was no longer in a position to play NEW games...so I bought this card...now I CAN Nonetheless not PLAY any new GAMES! so save your $$ and perhaps appear for yet another video card MFG.this 1 seems to have NO fix...and why would I want to send this in..and get a OLD Repaired//used card.

When it worked, it played Starcraft II at extreme settings very easily. I was very impressed as I have barely only been playing it on low settings on my old machine. It was so rapidly it barely skipped a beat although playing. Starcraft started crashing too generally for my liking. I thought it was the new patch that was causing it, but I lowered the graphics settings such as lowering it to ultra rather of extreme. I turned off 3d portraits. Then I notice the framerate consistently dropped down to 1fps prior to it crashed. This reeks of a graphics card hardware issue. None of my other friends crashes practically as frequently as me. I read the other critiques and realized that I am not alone. Probably won't get a different Gigabyte product again. My brother recommended this to me as part of a set saying Gigabyte is a fantastic brand. During the very first couple of months, we had been definitely impressed. However he and I are each deeply disappointed at the performance at the moment. The biggest reason I even assembled a new computer system was to play Starcraft II, but thanks to this card, it's becoming incredibly complicated.

Good video card while it worked, ran every little thing smoothly at high settings The card was perfectly fine for 8 months and then stopped operating 1 random day. Graphic glitches and freezing. It appears like it is fairly typical dilemma in these cards. I have not heard back from Gigabyte assistance yet. Manufacturer Response:Dear Consumer,Thank you for your comments.

As a single GTX 460 1GB setup, the Gigabyte branded GPU is a hidden beast. Price/Performance is uncanny. It's in a league of its own.Dual Fans. Other manufacturers have taken notice and came up with their version of the dual fan setup for the GTX 460. Why? Since it keeps the GPU really, genuinely cool even on full load. My graphics card in no way goes above 50* Fans are not loud at all. Nice and silent even for a dual fan gpu setup.Temperature - Card runs COOL like a spring breeze. Seriously, on idle 23*... full load less than 50* all the time with auto fan 40 fan speed.I hear this card overclocks like a beast. *wink* Can't say that I OC'ed this card myself but my pals have.It performs as properly as a GTX 470 and produces much less heat and consumes less power!I have had one 460 for 6 months and operating. No issues whatsoever. If you obtain a DOA or DUD, just RMA and get a new one. Don't let that sway you from owning one of these graphics cards. Trust m Seriously... no cons whatsoever. How can I list a con if there isn't one?What? You want me to say I don't like the color? If it's not hot pink... who the hell is going to gawk at your graphics card by way of the window panel all day?That's if you have a side window panel.. Pfftt. :PHere are my specs:AMD Phenom x4 965 BEAsus EVO SLi MoboG.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1333Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB OC edition, Corsair TX 750 PSUWestern Digital 640GB HDDAsus DVD drive NZXT Apollo caseAsus 26" 1920x1200 res monitorWindows 7 64-bit OS.When you go Sli, you never ever go back. Unless you can afford or locate a single GPU that can give you an average of 60 fps with vsync enabled. I don't like letting my card run more than 60fps.. I hear it strains the GPU and overheats it. I wanted additional people today to be informed about this card and brand. Please guys... always list your specs! That assists other figure items out on their finish. Cheers! Newegg.com is awesome. As generally they deliver the goods. Particularly quickly shipping... with impeccable customer service. I by no means felt the want to have to call them and say... GIVE ME MY GRAPHICS CARD. In no way.This is the epitome of excellence in service and overall organization operations. Whoever their CEO is... deserves high praise... and of course, all of their challenging-operating personnel! I had an issue with my second GTX 460, had to RMA... but it was due to poor workmanship by Gigabyte and not newegg.com. The card was flimsy and made a grinding noise... but I shipped it back and got a new one. Replacement works perfectly! I produced a note to make confident to give me a definitely great card this time... and of course, almost everything is sealed... but newegg.com waved their magic wand and bam! I'm really satisfied.

Very good card for the cost. Video card died faster than any video card I've ever owned. A lifespan of 5 months. I shouldn't truly count that because I've been in Army BCT for three months and haven't been able to use my pc for 1 month. I got 1 month of gameplay out of this video card prior to it died. This is the third GIGABYTE piece of equipment I have purchased that has failed on me. I will by no means obtain GIGABYTE once again. My suggestions to others will be the identical.

Quiet, Great for Media Center until total failure! According to New Egg’s Evaluations, 2 out of each 10 men and women have failures with this card within 6 months (as of 03񳏋). I bought this card when first released in 07񳏊, so by New Egg’s count of 1 Egg rating, that is a 20% failure rate.Within three months of installing this card in a brand new pc, it began crashing in the course of Windows boot 1 out of 4 instances. If Windows was successful logging in I would receive a System Tray Notification that the NVidia drivers stopped responding but has successfully recovered. The full message from the event log: “Display Driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.” But then regularly crash while watching DVDs or Tv on my media center. To verify it is a problem with the card. I fully reformatted the pc, re-installed Windows 7 64bit, rebooted 3 instances no troubles did some web browsing, downloaded and installed the most recent NVidia drivers 266.58, rebooted, and inside two minutes of being back in windows my machine froze with the Event Log noticed above. No other drivers/software had been installed but. Worst portion of this encounter is I now have to reinstall ALL of my software once again (and acquire a new card). Installing original drivers does not work either.I am highly disappointed at this 赨 card dying within 6 months! And would not advocate it given that two out of every ten folks buying this will have the identical difficulty! My recommendation: Remain away and spend your 赨 elsewhere! Now I will need to waste a different 赨! Manufacturer Response:Dear Customer,Thank you for your comments. We apologize for your difficulty with your Gigabyte product.

Had this card for over a year and it still rocks! Deus Ex in 1080P running smooth with details pretty much all q max. Also excellent for CUDA enabled applications as Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.

Comment:
Very quick card. Wonderful upgrade over 9800gt. Runs about 55c at load, 40c idle. Straightforward overclocking with Msi Afterburner none I've been running this card since August with no issues.

Comment:
Performance is great when it's not crashing. The NVIDA display driver crashes & recovers continuously. The display driver crashes started right after about 1 month of use & are now so frequent that the card is practically useless. I have suspected this was a display driver issue but I no longer think that is the case. I've waited lengthy enough for NVIDIA to resolve the problem with driver updates & the problem has only gotten worse with each and every update, so I now suspect this is a hardware concern. Considering that Gigabyte has released a version two of this item really makes you wonder what was wrong with version 1!

Comment:
Quickly, quiet, and cool. It handles everything I throw at it. None. Wanting a second for SLI.

Comment:
Card worked wonderful for awhile handling just about every little thing I threw at it. Following 6 months the freezes and stuttering are happening just like all the other poor critiques. Don't get this card. And dealing with customer support for Gigabyte is In no way enjoyable. Manufacturer Response:Dear Customer,Thank you for your comments.

Excellent performance for the $.Nice overclocking prospective Silent Not actually any cons. This is a wonderful card. I got a quite excellent overclock from this card. Runs all my games quite nicely. The only downside is that the GTX 560 just came out. Worth checking out.

Comment:
Quick, quiet, runs cool. Not genuinely a con, but it is a lengthy card. Could foresee some difficulties in smaller instances

Comment:
None...I had nothing but trouble with this card from day one. Only reason I am choosing an egg is mainly because I have to and due to the fact the customer service has been fantastic therefore far. Day 1 installed Windows 7 pro, screen kept freezing on me after three reinstalls of windows I figured it has to be something else. updated all drivers checked everything! everything! three times. Lastly I figured it has to be either this card or the driver. Was in the middle of acquiring support from Nvidia customer service and the card completly died. How do you like that?

Comment:
So far I've been able to max out the settings in many games at 1680x1050 and the card hasn't even broken a sweat.Dual fans are really quiet, even under load. Hmm, I have two identical LCD monitors plugged in via DVI and Windows says that only one will support HDCP. Not positive if it's a driver issue, a card problem, or whatever. I don't have any interest in HDCP so I haven't dug into it.The card is double wide (though it only makes use of 1 slot) and moderately lengthy.

Comment:
Rips by way of games like a hot knife by way of butter!Quiet!Keeps really cool! After about five months of use, my personal computer contantly freezes and crashes intermittently even though watching videos and movies. I have not played any games in a whilst, so I am about to fire up a game and/or anxiety test to see if I can reproduce a crash, but either way, I will be sending in an RMA request. I expect additional life out of a video card. Man, even my old EVGA 8800gt lasted 3-four years and was still going powerful when I sold it :(. It was awesome though it worked!
