Very nice

Pros: Bought this to replace my GTS 250 1gb which burned out after about a year due to high temps. This card stays IMPRESSIVELY COLD. My old GTS would idle at 32 but go up to 95+ during MW2 while this doesnt go past 62 degrees with overclock. This card is perfect for me because I just have a dual core so theres no need to go crazy. I was a little bit concerned about the 768 ram with 23 inch monitor but it's really not a problem. Just Cause 2 is a beautiful game and came with it-I was very impressed running this game for the first time with my GTX. I'm sure "hardcore gamers" would prefer something faster but this certainly does the job. and real well. In general everything is a bit more crisp than my old GTS. It used to hurt my eyes sometimes in FPS games but this card is pretty dam crisp. I've yet to do a real accurate overclock (highest performance with stability). I eventually will but I keep my settings at core: 866 shader: 1732 and memory clock 1925 perfectly stable
Cons: Big card but same size as my old bfg GTS 250 pretty much. I guess they make cards much bigger these days anyway. Requires 2 PCI-e connects. You should have a good power supply anyway if youre running a graphics card. Sometimes during the start of gameplay there seems to be a short game lag but its not recurring and not long.
Overall Review: Had to find a card that would live nicely in my cramped dell vostro 220 mini tower. This looked like the coldest gtx460 on the market and im extremely happy with the purchase. Oh and I used to think I didn't care about loudness but I guess I do because i've noticed how nice it is to not hear that dam GTS sounding like a plane taking off.
good

Pros: I got the non OC edition from newegg (just got discontinued i see). i managed to overclock it a lot more than this OC edition comes stock as. this card rocks and can handle GTA IV (an increidbly graphics taxing game) on medium/high settings (as long as you turn off definition). its an excellent card. ultra high end gamers will talk c rap that their 220$+ gtx's are way better, but you have to draw the line somewhere. i got this for 130$ and its certainly the best card out there at that price.
Cons: this thing is massive, i had to move a hard drive to fit it in my dell case. if youre a midget you might be able to get a workout curling these things too.
Overall Review: i have a small case. my card idles at 40-45 celcius and under heavy stress gets up to 75 which is a little too hot for my liking.
