Scan has this GTX460 1GB for around £100 sometimes:

However,for around £125 to £135 you can get an HD6870 which is a faster card.
You can get free postage from Scan too after 20 posts:

What is the specification of your system??
Cooler Master Storm ScoutOriginally Posted by CAT-THE-FIFTH
ASRock N68C-S UCC Motherboard

G.Skill RipJawsX 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel

Is this MSI 460 quiet ?
I never had a GPU from AMD how good are they?
All my mates are with Nvidia and i always had Nvidia
From a performance point of view, i would definitely say go for the 6870.
That MSI looks exactly as the Cyclone 460 (sans red and black shroud) i had which was very cool and quiet.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
I was looking at this GTX 560

What do you think ?
This HD6870 1GB is better value for money:

It also has a slight factory overclock too.
The HD6870 1GB at stock speeds is slightly faster than a GTX560 1GB at stock speeds:

The HD6870 1GB is cheaper and is better value for money.
Looks good but what about noise ?
And do you think will fit in my Storm Scout ? Looks quite long

Yes
I hope it's the right decision
ive got it, more than capable and well worth 100 quid (playing at 1980x1200)Yes
I hope it's the right decision
I find the 1GB 460 really kicks it at 1080p. All games I play on it have AA set much higher then I really need and they are playing smooth as silk.
A friends 4870x2 kicked the bucket Sunday and he picked up the same card when it was on today only.....amazing value at just over a ton IMO.

How did you find the card, how is it noise wise under load? Thinking of getting one myself.Yes
I hope it's the right decision
Hi Chasser
Comparing with my previous GTX 260 Golden Sample is at least 60% quieter under full load and much much much faster
And for this price (£109) you can't go wrong
I would recommend this card for sure
This is my first purchase from Scan but
Might of missed it, but what resolution do you game at?
The Gigabyte dual fan GTX 460's have very quiet cooling.
