Worth buying a GTX460 2GB for gaming? In this day and age?

At that price,it beats anything else for the most part,i mean heck the cheapest 7750 on newegg is $90+shipping for what its worth get it.:biggrin:

The best deal under the sun on newegg in the $60 or lower price range is this Evga 9800gt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130534 i know right,newegg still has the 9800gt listed and available.:awe: So that gtx460 is well worth the purchase.
 
for 69 bucks its pretty good, yes. Depends if you need more for your games or not though when it comes time to choose.
 
Just to put it into perspective, I unloaded a used one for $80 bucks in So Cal.

Not really going to get anything that can compete at that price. Do it imo.
 
I run 2 of these 1GB versions in sli and at 1920x1200 I run every game I own at max with only bf3 on high instead of ultra. The best value for money setup I have ever owned only cost me £300 brand new when I bought it.
 
Well, I ordered one. If I had more money available, I would have ordered several. Oh well.

Anyways, when was GTX460 released originally? I'm curious if my Gigabyte 1GB GTX460 OC WindForce card is still under warranty. I got two of them soon after the GTX460 was released ($180 on sale). Fans on both my card, and its twin, which I sold to a friend, are failing. (His was the better card of the two.)

If I can RMA the WindForce card(s), and get whatever newer GTX460 edition or maybe even a 560/560ti out of them, then I would happily give my friend the brand-new 2GB Palit version, and offer him a replacement warranty, and then RMA both WindForce cards. Then both my friend and myself would get upgrades, or at least, fully-working cards.

July 12, 2010 was the release date. I think that I obtained mine in Sept.-Oct. timeframe. So they should still be under warranty. Yippee!

Great deal. Nothing, perhaps not even used cards, will compete at that price. I did see a 5870 sell for $100, but that was a 1GB model. I'd guess that SLI 460 2GB would be much better for 1200P+. They generally overclock pretty well also.
