    Well, at least Nvidia took the criticism from the 470 and 480, and actually made a better product afterwards!

    Should I ebay my fairly new 5850 to get a GTX460? I really wanna try out some games with Physx on!

    ok, well i'd say there is no point getting a 260 now, if your going to upgrade then might aswell get the 460!
