class=”h3color tiny”> This review is from: EVGA GeForce GTX460 1024 MB DDR5 PCI-Express Graphics card with lifetime warranty 01G-P3-1371-AR (Personal Computers) You may already know this card! GF104 model of the Fermi GPU.
It comes with lifetime warranty! register within 30 days of purchase and that eVGA! the best in my opinion.
This card works very COOL! with a / c it idles around 28C and under load highest I saw was 61C which was in 2033 the METRO tessellation high. (Could run on everything, but Max was at 18fps on the current settings I get 40fps or more)
I have it on a P5Q-E mobo, E8400 and 4 GB of DDR2 RAM for the rest of the system is a bottleneck!
3DMark06 does not explode but in DX11 applications, it was very noticeable.
This replaces a 9800GTX + comes out to stop mysteriously.

It runs very cool, relatively quiet, and if you’re a serious player who does not have an insane budget (say, for two of them), then you will be very happy with this purchase. I made day 3 months ago and I have not had a problem yet. The fact that the card is SLI compatible and with a lifetime warranty means this card will last me a long time.
* The only negative I can mention are that (1) if you are not familiar with one of the GTX models they can be very large compared to some lower-end graphics cards. Make sure you have plenty of space on the motherboard. And (2) the card requires a 450W power supply (12V) with either two or four 6-pin connector 4-pin device to connect to the adapters. I found:
Diablotek 450-watt ATX power supply PHD450
to be the least expensive (but nice) PS with all the plugs and power I needed for the card. Not really a negative card, but it is not listed here (except that the adapters supplied with the card …).*

class=”h3color tiny”> This review is from: EVGA GeForce GTX460 1024 MB DDR5 PCI-Express Graphics card with lifetime warranty 01G-P3-1371-AR (Personal Computers) video card works fine out of the box. Included is a CD of drivers that included an OC’ing utility and others, and all the cables you need to start first! “Some things about this card: style=”float:left;”> style = “padding-left: 15px;”>

1. Works about 35 degrees Celsius idle in the windows with the fan turned to the lowest setting (in stock).
2. EVGA gives you an impressive overclocking program that lets you control all three clock speeds (core / memory / shader) and the fan speed. Works great.
3. Comes with a lifetime warranty. Very nice to have (although I’ve never had a problem before, it’s a comfort factor, I guess!)
4. The fan can be a bit noisy on its highest setting … Of course, you should expect when overclocking – but you will not hear on your PC game, movie or a headset, if a mid-range volume. I had the kernel clock one is from 800 to about 45 degrees Celsius idle / minimal.
5. For a limited time, exactly how long it works, you can also get a free bundle with your purchase photoshop EVGA sent directly to you. * Nice! *
6. EVGA site, it’s easy to register your product (life in 30 days) and it’s easy to register your software for free. They also offer a step-up program within 90 days. NOTE: (you can switch to map a set of ’500 ‘through step-up anyway).
Overall I’m happy with my purchase. Amazon used up my credit and you can not charge more than not having to pay out of pocket for something:) See you soon!
