New here...Nvidia GTX question

About as fast as a 6850 or slightly slower perhaps. Definitely slower than 6870 In the same league as 7770 but may be significantly better/worse that I dunno
 
Welcome to the Forums. What kind of system do you have and what resolution do you play at? Last, what games are you planning on playing?
 
I picked one up a little while ago and it performs very well for me, though I only game at 1680x1050. It's PLENTY fast enough for that. I have one of the 1GB v2 GTX-460s, which use a lower memory bandwidth, but clock a LOT higher. If you OC it, you get pretty amazing performance...my benchmarks are pretty much in line with GTX 560s.

Overall, for pretty much any game at 1680x1050, you can run at pretty high graphics settings and get buttery smooth framerates. 1080p would probably also be just fine. Running multimonitor or a high-res screen, though, and you may need to start lowering settings in the newest games.

I don't game a lot, but MW3 on high settings is silky smooth.
 
yeah i also have a 460 with 1680x1050 resolutions, and it runs most games really smooth. Also overclocks like a beast. 460 is still the card that sells best if you ask the resellers.
 
Op if buying today i would wait see the NV lineup before making the jump.After the whole NV lineup is revealed their price may come down.
