yup the gtx 460's are great cards, the only better card is the 5850 and its still mix and match in terms of what games it wins and looses to. For me the gtx 460 was the best choice instead of the 5850 because 1: was slightly cheaper and 2: SLI scaling is the best and my board is only SLI so its more future proofed (i know thats never possible with computers but its the best attempt!).
@ Dan, the palit card is humming a long nicely now as i got a vga cable
. You can hear the fan but the auto fan is quite persistent on keeping temps down, most of the time on auto it will keep it to <58C load!. I used the fan setting and its very acceptable for me, comparing it to the 4870 i had in the system its so quiet
. Thanks for the card again
