At those prices I'd definately say two 460s. Without a doubt. That'll run 'most anything at 2560x1440, max graphics.
I dont really want the hassle of SLi though
I'll look into that later I guess. I'm actually getting it from my dad since he owns a computer company

Hassle? Just stick a ribbon on the cards and it's basically done afaik

Just get the best single card you can afford. SLi is overrated.
Getting a 70-80% GPU boost without having to replace your card with a new one is a pretty good reason tbh.ghettoperson wrote:

And with the GTX 460 it can be up to 95%.Sydney wrote:

Not if getting a second one is more expensive than selling the old and using the money on a new tbh.Sydney wrote:

Not to mention the hassle of digging up that particular card in the limited supply of 2nd hand ones. and that's before even thinking about the risks / quality issues with 2nd hand ones...

Floppy, he's getting 2 460s right now, not one now one later. And two 460s will EASILY outperform a 480. For the same price, give or take $20.

I sold some graphics designer a i7 rig with dual 460s the other day. Apparently. thanks to CUDA, those two cards together blow away a Quadro card for twice the price in certain tasks.
Nice.
everything i write is a ramble and should not be taken seriously.... seriously. ♥

sweet, buy a case and you're set! :p
bhah cases are overrated anyways. Buy a sweet gfx card to complement that rig.

Nice to know my 750 isn't the only one that takes that much voltage to reach 4.0

That's a little more fan than I'd feel comfortable putting on a CPU.

Right, I cba to make a new thread so I'll just ask here. Has anyone synced their iphone with facebook? I'm not quite sure if I want to do that as it said that all the contacts in my phone will be sent to fb and I'm not 100% sure what that stands for. Will the contacts be visible to everyone or what? O.o
No, I don't need an attitude adjustment. You just need to fuck off.
I imagine that it syncs the other way round. fb contacts will be sent to your phone, not phone contacts to fb.
i.e. it can import your Facebook contacts, along with their (presumably) emails, phone numbers, etc - depending what they have available.
(This is a complete guess, btw)

With facebooks excellent privacy record i'm sure that won't be an issue here.Eifa wrote:
