Is Nvidia 450GTS worth buying?

[Beerdrinker]

Hello there team..

I just wanted to know if this card is worth buying?

http://www.asus.dk/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/ENGTS450_DC_SLDI1GD3/#specifications

A guy on a danish HW site is offering this card for 100$ - and still have warranty. He bougth it in July - but need the money.

From what I can read it looks like it´s not G92 - but low-end Fermi????

It is a lower end fermi. It will do DP (MW) and works with any project I've ever tried it on. Only needs 1x 6 Power connector. Mine is currently doing about 8000+ credits per hour on Dirt. Doesn't work well on GPUGrid unless you stay with the shorter wu's. $100 is probably too much considering you can get an EVGA at Newegg for 79.00 after rebate. If you could get it for $50 - $60 I'd take it.

Thanks for the reply on that.

I took your comment in the "negotiations" and we settled on 67$ including shipping. I can live with that - so 1 x 450GTS on it´s way to SILENT HUNTER..:p

Good buy! It's a good solid card you'll be happy with....especially at that price.

Yeah...

The name SILENT HUNTER would have a wrong "ring" to it - if I had a videocard going insane with a fan..! ;)

Also had to think about it´s silent PSU which is "only" 300W....So could not excactly go crazy on a GPU buy...I think I´ll be happy about this one though.

Good point. The DrPop rig would not even turn on with a 300W PSU. :p ;)
