My GeForce 8800GT has served me well for almost 3 years, but a recent deal on a GTX 460 combined with it's position as number 8 on the GPU performance rating (just below a $400 card) forced my hand. The upgrade effectively doubled my GPU score, confirming the belief that the GTX 460 is the new 8800 GT in terms of bang for your buck. Windows 7 also seems to appreciate the new card as my graphics rating has gone up significantly. My peer pressure campaign at work successufully got everyone on my team to upgrade as well, making the GTX 460 the new hotness.
If you want to fit in with the cool kids, it's time to make the switch.

Wow it's the same exact CPU and memory. What did they do to the DXT460 to make it TURBO the numbers? Stavos |

Well, mostly you've got it right. However, it's Canadian Bacon. Which i'm pretty sure is some combination of pork and sewage. MorlockPrime |
