The gigabyte one is great. EDIT: Just to add, avoid the plait one, its loud and alot of people have had problems with them.
I just got the MSI 460 GTX Hawk Talon Attack (who thinks of these names?) and it is really good. It's quiet, cool and good looking. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-...gpu-810mhz-shader-1620mhz-336-cores-mini-hdmi
Which 460 This card (the Talon version)overclox like an animal! 1 Ghz is not unusual like the new 6870 it will reach 1.2 Ghz with a slight voltage tweak it can post framerates of over 45% higher than the bog standard 460 priced at £169 ON SCAN buy it
Having bought it today, I can vouch that it's very quiet in idle, and only somewhat loud at full load. But, bare in mind that I have a fetish for keeping my PC quiet and I keep it right next to my head (don't ask ), so I'm guessing it is quite good
My pc is currently in a Thermaltake Tai Chi case and is sooooooo loud! I'm collecting my new CM 690 II Advanced case tomorrow and want to make sure all the components inside are as quite as possible. Ive only heard good things about the GTX 460 so it looks like the way to go but which one? I really like the look of the MSI Cyclone just as long at its cool and quiet!
i got the evga sc version as it comes with a 10 year warrenty, and you can water cool it and you won't lose your warrenty
Iv got the Gigabyte 460 in a cm690ii advanced case and I cant hear it! had to take the side panel off again too check the fans were running lol Ive not come across anything bad mentiond about this card only "its good" or " does exactly what it says on the tin" kind'a stuff Im happy with it got a free game too!
I think either card you will be equally happy with when you decide which one to buy, as they are just as good as each other. Really you need to decide now on price, looks, warranty etc between the two..but you will not really go wrong and regret it choosing from one of these two.
lol cheers im really impressed with the case. IMO the Giga 460 looks better to me, so that was my choice made between the two. the newer msi 460's hawx (with twin fans like the Giga) look good but there a few quid more for higher pre applied overclock. CPC article said the Giga oc'ed quite well though and seems to be what most have found too.......
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127534 this looks like it's getting 950+ with some of the guys who bought it.. 1k is possible- saw one thread where guy got 1k stock just using afterburner and no mods
