Value, Looks Overall performance, Reliability My computer is 2 years old - it is equipped with a Core 2 Quad (Q9300). All round decent technique. I largely play WOW, and not too long ago my videocard wasn't up to the challenge. I was forced to run the game at Fantastic (average) setting to sustain 60fps. Ahead of investing in an entirely new pc, I decided to update the videocard and see if that would be enough. I had to decide on the GTX 460 simply because my mid-atx case can\'t support the bigger gtx 500+ cards. On paper, this card looks like it would considerably enhance game overall performance. I was dissapointed that it did not. On average, i gained about ten fps. An ok increase, but nonetheless unable to run the game on ULTRA settings. The weak efficiency acquire I could have lived with, but my pc seems to be often crashing with this new card. In the previous three days I've had it, the personal computer bluescreen'ed five instances. In the two years I've had this pc, i've had it bluescreen perhaps after or twice. This is terrible! I'm debating whether or not to RMA this card.

Runs almost everything with out a hitch, no problems at all! DX11 is a big improvement over DX9, and 10... Cant ask for more... Obtain IT! NONE Utilized this to upgrade from a 9800 GTX+ and will never appear back!

Massive upgrade from my old faithful 8800GTSilent - can't hear it at all in an Antec 900 case with situation fans set to slow.The value-performance point for this guy is spot on, and I count on I'll get a extended service life out of this card. Initially card showed up DOA- random graphics artifacts, even in the windows desktop, and would crash to desktop pretty much quickly upon gaming. Beware if you have to RMA this. You will will need to call client assistance to get a refund for your "free" game coupon, even if unused.Also make confident you know you'll want two PCIE power connectors for this card, but a molex-to 2xPCIE splitter is integrated in the box.

ON 12Ǟ I went the RMA route but due to already sending in rebate could get RMA from NEWEGG and PNY said if card operates on all my old games then the "Micro Stutter" is game compatibility associated and I really should try other drivers or wait for Game to be updated with a patch. So basically feeling a little shafted I just continued using the card and just didn't play DIRT two (unplayable) and only moderately play AvP. But now after Nvidia 266.58 drivers all is excellent. Dirt 2 in direct x 11 and AvP both run like butter and so far all my "old" games nevertheless run fine. Had to wait for a driver update for Card to show it's potential All older drivers immediately after Driver Sweeper and OS reinstalls Card didn't shine, but lastly right after 266.58 geforce drivers all appears to be ok....possibly from now on I will wait longer prior to buying "newer" tech..

Card is fantastic specs and wonderful price, quiet below regular operation. At high RPM, the fan makes an really irritating intermittent grinding noise. Don't buy this card if you want a quiet computer system.

Comment:
Wonderful graphics. Remarkable high quality for the price. I upgraded from a MSI 9500GS. Certainly it has way far more capabilities and specs than my old card. I have been happy 100% with this product. None so far. You need to have to have at least a 500W PSU to use this properly. I bought a Corsair GS700. They perform incredibly well together. This is surely a card that I would advise to anybody who desires to play all of the new video games on high settings.

Value, Low noise, Small size vs competition. 2X PCI-E power connectors needed As my title says, this card merely works. It runs BF:BC2 fantasticly with almost everything maxed out. I upgraded from a 9800gt and my 3dBenchmark went from 11K to 15K. I thought my 9800gt was quick, but this factor blows it away. Cease reading. Get it. Oh yea, and now I just use the 9800gt to run physx.

I bought this graphics card for gaming (I'm positive most people are) and for the value...it's wonderful. I've played Starcraft two wings of liberty with the highest settings, with no FPS loss and no choke...even in heated battles. Out of every single game, and each test i've place it by means of so far...it's come out with remarkable performance, and no FPS loss what-so-ever. A good get for a high-demanding gamer! The card is quite large...so look for a case that can hold it in. The cooling technique points downwards so a fantastic circulation of heat on your case is a great notion.

Primarily playing Battlefield two Poor Organization on a 23" monitor. 1920x1080 i get 63-67 fps most of the time utilizing dx11 8x AA 8x AF. This is the very same fps I was obtaining with my 4870 making use of dx10 4x aa. Looks remarkable. HAWX runs flawless and looks unbelievable. Also utilizing max settings on the game. I also play lotro maxed out and usually get 80+ fps with dx11. The card idles at 23c. Following playing BF2BC or lotro for a handful of hours, the card will get to about 56c. Seems really cool to me given that this cooler looks more "stock like" than the MSI or Gigabyte coolers None.

This video card runs all of the source games (CS:S, and so forth) at 280+FPS. It plays WoW at 50FPS in towns and 180FPS elsewhere. SC2 runs incredible! (All of the above on highest doable settings)If your PSU has at least two six pin energy connectors you're golden. (four six pin if you're operating two of these) This comes with 1 4-pin to 6-pin adapter, However they recommend you don't use adapters for powering this card. Some may well take into account this a con (Single Vid card), some may well think about it a needed feature(Sli users).The energy plugs directly into the end of the card, preceding reviewers complained about this, this card is SLI capable which means an additional card would be sandwiched proper next to it. Generating the rear facing energy important.

Card outperforms my old card, uses much less power, and is substantially less quiet. None so far.

Comment:
Great card, was effortless to install. It also runs a lot cooler and quieter than I anticipated. It is excellent for gaming. I play WOW, StarCraft 2, and many other folks and it runs them completely on the highest settings. I have but to locate a game that I can't run smoothly on the highest settings. That includes Conan and Aion, which I don't play much anymore. None yet. Can't believe how quiet the card runs. Yep I had to say that once more.

Comment:
Operates like a charm. A huge upgrade from my final card purchased four years ago. Card was shorter than my last a single, and installation was extremely smooth. No complications playing any games at highest settings. Fan is comparatively quiet. None. This was a Black Friday obtain, and was a wonderful deal. I produced my decision to purchase this mainly because of Nvidias inherent help of PhysX, which tends to make numerous of the games I play run additional smoothly.

Comment:
Functions good. Runs the games I play (Borderlands, Team Fortress two, L4D 1ž, and so on) at max settings with no lag. None so far. Installed on an older Gigabyte P35 MoBo with a Core2Duo 2.4 Ghz.

This card is a significant upgrade from my Radeon 1650X Pro(which is pretty old, but has held on for a long time).This is essentially a quite cool card for the efficiency it delivers, it runs at 25-27c when I'm not operating any programs. though running Planet of Warcraft/starcraft2 it runs at 48-53c(which indeed is an absolute pleasure to see)So far this card has but to disappoint me, and for the current price tag it's getting sold at the moment, you'd be foolish to not opt for this card if deciding to make a card buy. None Absolute greatest card for the price tag!

On the occasion that it works correctly, it is really smooth. It's a surprising jump from the gtx 275 From the beginning, I have had artifact difficulties and random bsod, but attempted to repair the issue from a driver pov. Lastly, the windows screen would freeze and report that the vga aparatus could not begin. Considering that I had bought it a couple weeks ahead of I built this technique, the RMA window had closed for Newegg, so I RMA'd it back to PNY. They emailed me saying tht they received it but have sent it back and that a detailed explanation would accompany it. I got the card back. It was not in the safe carton I sent it in. It was floating freely in the box in a static bag with a note that said, in refined detail, PASS TEST. Well, guess whet, PNY, it does not pass the test. I have been operating an 8800 gs in it's stead and it's been flawless. The GTX 460 froze, artifacted, and bsod with that old familiar message inside of 15 minutes. From my knowledge, this superclocked card seems to be overclocked too high for the quality of the components (in this certain instance). I fully grasp that "if it aint broke, we cant repair it," but I cannot assist the fact that PNY cant make it break. No other card I have on the premisses does this. This one is broken. As a dissatisfied client, I anticipate warranty coverage. Otherwise, I'm out 200 dollars and PNY is out a loyal lengthy-time client. On the other hand, NEWEGG DOES ROCK! and they knows it :^D

Nice value for specs Took a while to ascertain what dilemma of laptop malfunction. Video card does not have air flow from fan and over heats, locks up computer or causes automatic shutdown. Replaced with ASUS and hasn't had a challenge given that. Now dealing with PNY for replacement. Need to have spent the additional for the other card. Didn't have time to order from Newegg. Would have saved cash.

QuicklyAmple VRAM. 1. Overheating difficulty. Typical App. : Starcraft 2 (with frameratecap set to merely 60)With stock cooling, GPU is prone to get overheated (constant 65-70 C Degree). Outcome from it? BSOD.two. No Tuning and Monitoring Software from the Manufactor.4. I was a small misled by the comments right here, this card is over-hyped. Added cooling is strongly recommended for this overclocked card.Adding an extra case fan (Antec 300) lowers the likelihood of obtaining BSOD.

Bought this for my son for Christmas (yes we opened early this year, none of us could wait) and he just loves the card. Plays his games like WoW on all settings totally maxed out.Have however to hear a single complaint from him about the card, and trust me he's a touch consumer None that I know of

Wonderful card. Purchased to replaced an aging 9800 GTX+ that began to fail. The 9800 GTX+ was a quite good card. Even so, this card is far more strong, quieter and smaller. Fit perfectly into my case, and really freed up some additional space. Installed the most current drivers from NVidia and I was ready to go. Enhanced my Windows Graphics score, and can play contemporary games at full 1920 x 1200 resolution with high detail at excellent FPS. Really happy with the obtain. Also fantastic bonus, if you register the card, you get lifetime warranty. None that I can report. As other individuals have mentioned: this card does need to have two six-pin power adapters from your power provide. I was luckily that I already had these, could be an matter for somebody who doesn't. Also the adapters connect on the back on the card, not the top. On the other hand, given that this card is smaller than most, should not be significantly of an issue. What's not to like:- Potent, Quiet and Small- Lifetime Warranty- two Free Games: Mafia II and Just Trigger 2 (Limited Time Supply)- Fantastic Bang for your Buck

One of the lower priced 1GB 460's. Fan is practically inaudible, card is little enough to fit in just about any case. Comes with mini hdmi adapter. none Wonderful card for the price tag, Is factory overclocked to pretty considerably the identical specs as other additional high priced "superclocked" models. Runs cool and quiet. Difficult to beat for the value.

Pretty a great deal any 460 gtx 1G card will do you effectively, particularly an OC card. Runs something i want at any setting i want. if i uncover a thing it doesnt run, then ill just get another one and run them in SLI.Also, i know some people today had been complaining that they could only fit one particular card on the ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 mobo, but i know for a reality that i could fit a different card on beside this 1. More pricey than a 768mb 460 gtx, but it is worth the additional โ to get the 1G.
