ZOTAC GeForce GTX 460 1 GB 256-Bit (675MHz/3600MHz) PCI-Express Graphics Card ZT-40402-10P

I bought this card about a year ago and meet all my gaming graphic needs. So when I was going building my new gaming computer with Sandy Bridge i5 and Z68 SLI motherboard. Instead of getting faster graphic card, I ended up getting another new GTX 460 that was being closed out for $100. The SLI performance on most of graphic benchmark show that it is the same or better than a single 580 setup.

On BF3, I set everything to the highest and I am get from low of 30 to high of 60fps on 1920x1080. Turn off some of setting and effects so I can get constant 60fps when I am playing online.

I think I will keep my SLI 460 setup until the price of 560Ti drops to mid $100, then will sell the 2x 460s to upgrade to 2x 560Tis.

9.1 NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX 460 is Fermi done right. Whereas the GF100 based products were plagued by excessive power consumption resulting in high temperatures and noise levels, the GTX 460 delivers massive improvements here. Essentially NVIDIA managed to reduce idle power consumption below ATI's HD 5000 levels, and gaming power consumption to slightly higher but similar levels. This improvement in power consumption trickles down to temperatures and cooler noise helping NVIDIA's new card to be able to...Read more

Excellent value. This GTX460 breathed life into my older computer. I'm a gamer and this card has significantly higher gamer benchmarks than my old 8800GTS.
