GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 460 1GB, Questions. - Hardware & Software

GIGABYTE GV-N460OC-1GI GeForce GTX 460 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125333[/url] I am thinking of getting this card but I have some questions. Will it be able to max out games like Metro 2033, Crysis:Warhead and Battlefield: Bad company (Online) On a playable FPS? (Around 50) CM STORM SNIPER CASE Intel core i7-920 2.66Ghz 8M ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution Samsung DVD+-RW 20x - Black Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ Xion PSU 640W Corsair Intel Core i7 6GB LeadTek 9800GT 512mb My screen resolution is: 1920x1080 Should I get the GIGABYTE Model? Because this is currently the cheapest one, and with best reviews.

Yes, around 20-40 fps. Still playable [editline]07:13PM[/editline] 1920x1080 res

I can max BFBC2 with a 5770 at 1440x900.

You can run smoothly these games but on High (Not Very High). Don't except more.

BF:BC2 should run at very high, with a little overclocking, and your CPU is right.

I literally just ordered one of these about ten minutes. It should arrive tomorrow so I'll post some results if it does.

So, should I get the gigabyte version?

Go instead with MSI Cyclone 1GB (or Zotac AMP! Edition if are not into OC)

Are there any reasons why I should do that, I just want to be on the safe side.

Better cooler.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;24185457]Better cooler.[/QUOTE] Hm, i've heard that the GIGABYTE one has a better one.

Doesn't matter, just go with the cheap one if you're not going into overclocking

I already have it.

get a new one

Not to derail the thread but if I'm planning on getting the same card with an AMD Phenom II X4 at 3.4GHz and 8GB of DDR3 RAM and I was wondering If I could max out BF:BC2 and Crysis at 1440x900.

[QUOTE=xxncxx;24196230]Why did you get the 965, get the 955 its the same thing.[/QUOTE] All of the hardware I posted was stuff I was planning on purchasing. I just looked at the 955 and you were right, it is the same except that it's 200MHz slower. That shouldn't have a major effect.

They are both made for overclocking anyways so that shouldn't be a problem.
