GTX 460 differences

Any opinions on the different models/manufacturers?

These are all 192 bit. Looks like the Gigabyte has the highest feedback ratings, but I wonder if 2 fans is more of a curse (more to break) than a blessing. Supposed to be a pretty cool card anyway.

The EVGA look good and only have 1 fan, but the ratings aren't quite as good.

Thanks

Basically all the same. Clock speeds, PCB, and cooling solutions being the differences.

I would avoid MSI.

Well, yeah

That's what I'm asking for advice about.

The EVGA with the highest clocks would be my choice. The Gigabyte one probably cools a little better though, so if you have a high case temp or high room temp it might be the better choice.

Gigabyte is slightly cooler and is silent. It has not always performed the best but it has generally been solid. I usually recommend them to friends that are using them for everyday use.

I got the GTX660. It has the same 192-bit memory interface as the GTX460 768MB but It has a lot more memory bandwidth than any GTX460.
