Stuck On Graphics Cards

[Mr Pantomime]

Im trying to decide between a GTX275, a GTX 460 1GB and a GTX 470. However im stuck between the three. Any help would be appreciated. Also im open to buying an ATI, i just dnt know a lot about them since most of my friends hate them.

go to xbit-labs and compare benchmarks

gtx 460 sli? should be cheaper and better then a gtx480

 

[Mr Pantomime]

the link seems to be broken...though a gtx460 SLI seems much better in many chases

this was what i was shown to tell me gtx460 was better

yeah i see what you mean. The one im looking at is GIGABYTE NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 460 OC 1GB GDDR5. So ur saying i should look into the Radeon HD 5970?

You could also look at gtx 480, I just bought it and it's great

 

[Mr Pantomime]

I was considering it, but its about US$400-500 and thats a bit
Good card tho

Well it's cheaper then Radeon 5970 with atleast 1700 Swedish kr which is about 180-200$

It cant be, its around $700-1000 NZD, and the 460 retails at US$200, which is NZ$360

I just bought this card the other day, it's great value. I'd say go for that if you want a good, cheap card. If you want a better card I suggest going ATI, as the 470GTX is a huge leap in price from the 460.

no, the radeon 5970 is to expansive since the gtx460 sli can be mostly as good and half as costly

In sweden, Gtx 480 cost 4299kr ($590,12) [http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=593166]
Radeon 5970 cost 5995kr ($822,92) [http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=594786]

822 - 590 = 232. So in sweden Radeon 5970 cost $232 more then Gtx 480

I just thought u meant i could buy a 480 for US$180 to US$200 thats all.

I'd give my vote to the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460 OC 1GB (roughly 300 $ here) or the lil bit more expensive MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone OC 1 GB (roughly 330-340$ here).

Numbers man its just numbers. 470 is a crappy version of the 480 the 460 is the medium range of the 400 series so either buy 460 or 480.
Ive had a 6600, 7800 and now a 260. Never had any issues.

 

[Mr Pantomime]

Thanks for your help guys. Ive decided to by the 460 Galaxy Overclocked. How do i close this thread?
