It's only got the 192 stream processors but for the price this should make a pretty good card. Any thoughts before I jump? I need to fill the 3rd pci-e slot in my motherboard. Currently have GTX 460 and GTX 260 both factory oc'ed.

Stream Processors: 192

Core Clock: 910 MHz

Memory Clock: 4104 MHz

Shader Clock: 1820 MHz

Or should I try this one with the higher memory clock and shader clock. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...41125&csid=_21

Core Clock: 951 MHz

Memory Clock: 4356 MHz

Shader Clock: 1903 MHz

about 1% slower then a 260 uses 1/2 the power I updated my Nvidia List with this card.

...It's only got the 192 stream processors but...

I'm not going to tell you what to do with your money, but for the same $$$, it won't hold a candle to what a GTX 460 will do with 336 CUDA processors. Same money. Your choice, of course.

Seems like the GTX 460 is the better card for the money. OK, I will start looking for a deal on one of those. I just have the itch to have 4 GPS's in the box since I have 3 slots.

Yeah, it's just the sweet spot for $ / credit right now. If you have the extra $ and PSU juice, then a 470 or even a 570 are VERY competitive for the insane credits they produce. But...going to be more $ up front and more electricity for sure, so ... has to be enough all the way around to go that route.

Here's one on Ebay - I have one of these exact same models.

Also, if you live by a FRY's Electronics, then you can get one for $110 after rebate - details here

A recertified PNY one from Newegg for $125 here

And lastly, I have one of these - ASUS GTX 460 - $125 after rebate from Newegg.

Hope that helps a little, and happy hunting!

Dang DrPop do you shop much .

I like the 460 for what it is as well, They have a huge following. I personally am more of a 465/470 guy of your going to go to 4 though I can tell you at 2 the room is about 10f warmer then the rest of the house they produce a lot of heat. the 460 is probably better if your going to go with more then 1.

Ok...pulled the trigger on this one. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...388&CatId=3669
Should do some crunching and with the rebate and $10 gift card it it priced right. Now all I will need is the instructions to bump it up to the GTX 470.

Thanks. Don't know what happened but I got it corrected. Now I can sit back and wait with baited breath and a beer in each hand.
