The performance gain those driver releases state in various games are vastly overstated. They use an obscure hardware combination to maximize a theoretical performance gain (such as a 5850 in an old P4 system), but what you or I see will be much more modest.adonn78 - Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - link
These are the cards everyone wanted form nvidia. cool, quiet, and reasonably priced. I would wait a few weeks before buying anything becuase there are new cpu's coming out from Intel and AMD. Ina ddition with the new performance AMD and nvidia should have price drops. Just in time for back to school season in August.jfelano - Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - link
With the very overclockable 5830 going for around $170 after rebate, it's hard to recommend this card.DominionSeraph - Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - link
Nobody uses price after MIR because you'll never see that money.Rebates are a scam.

I really do wish they'd get rid of the whole MIR.heflys - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - link
Yeah, I agree. I'm just waiting for ATI to knock back their prices. It's inevitable.loganex - Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - link
Does anyone know how well these 460s fold? How many points per day?ruzveh - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - link
I would still go in for Zotac card for the feature it displayed in its port. It has full HDMI and Display port which is exactly what i requiredjust4U - Friday, July 16, 2010 - link
It's also nice to see them moving to LLT warranties.. to me that was the most interesting part.Mopsen - Sunday, July 18, 2010 - link
I don't know if I'll get one of these gtx 460 cards, but I'm still very happy that Nvidia finally brought out a decent card to combat Amd/Atis 5000 series. Prices are bound to drop (hopefully) ^^
