MSI GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card N460GTX Twin Frozr II SOC

Pros: Bought two for SLI, figured it would roughly equal a single GTX480. Decent cards. Cool running and silent and all of that. Only game that I haven't been able to max out with both is Metro 2033

Cons: One of the two cards started doing flakey things, like rendering everything in 16-bit color. Eventually, the card stopped working all together and took the computer with it. No power, no lights, no sound until the card was removed. Newegg, of course, is taking care of it.

Overall Review: Even though one of the cards crapped out, this sort of stuff happens with technology. Can't blame newegg or MSI. This is a very good card and it will likely last me a while.

Pros: Nice factory overclock straight out of the box. Quality heatsink/fan design, arguably the best cooler available for the GTX 460 unless you're going water. Even when running folding@home GPU3 client @ 950MHz Core / 1900MHz shaders and 55% fan speed, the card is running at 56*C full load! And that's with 1.137v applied (BIOS mod).

Cons: No cooling on the VRM's, but I knew this before buying & honestly, this won't affect you unless you're planning to absolutely overclock this card to its limits 24/7 and/or have your PC in a very hot area for long periods of time.

Overall Review: Had this card up to 1002 core / 2004 shaders / 4000 memory with a modified BIOS, but this was at -4*C ambients outside! If you're on a budget but still want some amazing DX11 performance, this is the card you want. I got it for $132 after rebate which is just silly when you think about the performance one of these cards has. I also owned the Cyclone version at one point & it's pretty much just as good as this. The cooler on the Cyclone is quieter but the TwinFrozrII heatsink/fans work just a bit better at cooling the card.

Pros: BLAZING FAST, Card Loves to be pushed harder with higher Detail settings and Resolutions, QUIET! Its more Quiet then my CPU and Case Fans, can't even hear it! BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK! Just as fast if not Faster Then an EVGA model, but for 40+ bucks cheaper! Free 3 Day Shipping, Card Arrived on the 2nd Day! Upgraded from a Winfast 7900 GS that i ran Overclocked. This Card More then Quadrupled the Peformance of my 7900 GS! Games I currently play: COD: Black Op's (Max Detail), SC2 (Max Detail), WoW (Almost Max Detail lol, I need more ram and a new processor), RE5 (Max Detail 71 Avg FPS, 49 Low FPS and 193 High FPS), COD:MW2, COD:MW, L4D1, L4D2, Doom 3 (Max Detail), HL2, CS Source. Only ones worth mentioning atm. Games without (notation) I haven't adjusted Visual Settings on yet. Games Load Faster namely Doom 3, COD: BO, and RE5 (Free's up a ton of Processing power) Its Nvidia! "The Way It's Meant To Be Played!" Need I say more? Deserves more then 5 Golden Eggs!

Cons: From the Farthest point of the Metal Tab that screws to the back of the PC Case, to the Farthest end of the Heat Sink Cover the Card Measures Exactly 10" (inches) but actual length when installed make sure you've got 9 3/4" Of Useable room to install Also add an 1/4" For easier wire placement for the Dual Power plug in's. Most mid size ATX and pretty much almost all Full Size ATX cases should have this covered. (Mine was Mid Size, bought this case back in 2002 and it fit perfectly fine no clearance issues) This might be an Issue for some so I felt it was important Mentioning! Also Card Requires 145 Watts to power it Again might be a problem for some but wasn't an Issue for me as I'm running a 700 Watt PSU. Card Covered 1/4 of my South Bridge chip fan on my motherboard but the clearance is perfect and the fan doesn't make any scratching or squealing noises, just make sure you have adequate Case Cooling and you'll be fine

Overall Review: The card at idle speeds and lower end gaming resolutions and graphics settings will Down clock itself to lower Temperatures and slow down the PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) Fans This is how the card operates at a solid 30* C at idle. I've seen it Jump no higher then 38*C at full on gaming (I live in the Desert part of CA, and I never Turn on the A/C so) Very solid Cooling system and Design. The Down Side is I found when Playing CoD: Black Op's on the lowest Visual settings my frame rates were lower and the game was a little more "Laggy" compared to when I turned up the Detail settings to Medium, High,etc. (higher settings the game ran smoother.) Found the card was staying down clocked on the lower graphics detail while Running COD: Black Op's, no big deal though More eye candy for me and its smoother! Running Factory Nvidia Drivers 266.58 No problems at all! Vista Ultimate SP2 4gb Ram Intel Core2Duo 6600 Nforce 5 Ultra Mobo Raid 0 2x150 gb 16mb buffer 7200 RPM Sata II Drives

Pros: Works great for the price, probably even overkill for me. Lower power than my old card, which wasn't anywhere near as good. Quiet.

Cons: Rebate process. It says it was approved when I looked it up (no e-mail or anything) but when I wonder why I hadn't gotten it yet, I see the notice underneath. "Please allow 12 ~ 14 weeks processing time after rebate promotion ended." That's a long time. It's on the form, but you'd think they'd at least e-mail people to let them know.

Overall Review: Card good, rebate ok, rebate process not so much.

Pros: great card for mid range res. never goes over 50 c' looks cool great brand

Cons: none

Overall Review: does very good at 1366x768 and not to bad at 1920x1200 seem under powered for me but i own some 5870's but i bought it for a buget build

Pros: Very good performance. It seems to run stable on full tilt. I can finally play Crysis on full settings at 1280 by 960!

Cons: It is a big video card. It barely fit into my mid tower case.

Overall Review: If you have enough room for it and have a good 500 watt power supply, this is a good video card to get. This card spanks the new Gtx 550 Ti. Perfect for a 24 inch or under monitor.(if you want maximum gaming performance)

Pros: According to tests I saw on Toms hardware the 1GB version of this card only performed about 10% faster, yet costs around 30% more (and that's not even considering rebates), confirming my suspicions that this is the highest performance/price ratio. This also performed similar to a 5830 for less. Of course it could vary according to the specific application. I wrote a review earlier but I just thought this would be useful for those considering this.

Cons: n/a

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.
