460 vs 260SLI

Demon · 07-31-2010, 11:07 AM

Whats your opinions on the above guys?
Would it be worth selling my 2 260's and going for a single 460?

Cheers

In a word no. A 460 is only a bit faster than a 260. 260 in SLI would be allot faster than one 460.

it would be slower but then it mainly depends on how much you need DX11

well the 460 is ment to overclock like feeeck

No real need for DX11 tbh, guess I will just stick with the 260SLI setup for now

but the longer you stick with it the less you can sell the cards for

2x GTX260 will be alot faster (if the game supports SLi) but it also uses ALOT more power. I'd sell the cards and get a single GTX470 or a GTX460 and another later on.

Single card solutions are always better

Well I would say that 460 uses less power, creates less heat and is quieter than a 465, even overclocked. It has DX11 which the 260's don't have, assuming you're going to hang onto it long enough for DX11 titles to hit shelves.
