[NemisiS]

Hi guy, i want to replace my old vga so can you hep me to decide which is better the GTX460 or HD6850

Write soon and thanks

If you can get one of them with lower price, take it...they are very similar...

Well, the Radeon HD 6850 is a little bit more expansive, like 30,1 USD but Overclocked and the nvidia, it's a Palit GTX 460 smart edition 1GB GDDR5 (not overclocked) and i googled the Palit GTX 460 SE and dozen people said that they experienced driver crashes and they've updated the drivers to 266,61 i think (There is a 270,61).
So i need you to help me decide, please and thank you
Here is a link to compare GPUs http://www.hwcompare.com/7863/geforce-g ... n-hd-6850/
I think you know it...


PS: Is smart edition the same as SE version ?! I'm just being curious

On YouTube video clips, they say that if you are using a triple monitor or a dual monitor get the HD 6850, but if your using a one monitor get the GTX 460. Damn... I'm using a one monitor, you think there's any difference ?

Pls post here links of both cards (from eshop)...I will choose the HD 6850 because it uses less power...and maybe you will buy another monitor sometimes

Ok here is the link, but before you go, I'm from Macedonia nad the language is Macedonian:
The fist one is the web link to all the cards in the store
http://www.anhoch.com/pcmarket/?cat_id= ... 0&limit=50
This is The Palit GTX 460 Smart - 8375 MKD = 167.5 $

This is the HD 6850 - 9880 MKD = 197.6 $
http://www.anhoch.com/pcmarket/index.php?pid=32348 (Currently i'ts not in the store at the moment)


1 USD = 50 MKD (Macedonian Denars) I'ts the currency so you can see it in US dollars



PS: The GTX 460, it doesn't say much on the web site but i google it and i saw the review benchmarks

[devilek]

For myself I will choose the 6850 but it is up to you...games will run with same FPS..with these cards

[NemisiS]

I like newer cards, well the HD 6850, it's 1 month older than the GTX 460 SE model, but also i like the ATI Cards, cause they have more Unified Shaders and this HD 6850 card is Overclocked which means increased performance like maybe games will give 5-8 fps more i guess..... I made my mind up, i'll get the Radeon.
Thanks for everything and sorry you wasted a little time on my thread

They are both awesome cards. I would go with the Radeon HD 6850, but if they don't bring it in the store for a long time than go with the Palit GTX 460 smart edition
