|

damn it! my PALIT 460GTX Sonic Platinum 1GB DDR5 started giving colored dots today, after nearly 2.5years of 24/7 work.. well fuck, it didn't even last 3 years, and the warranty is just 2 years
switched to my old (repaired after it gave up too) 8800GTX 768MB and gave the 460 to a repair shop, to try and fix it, if they can't, I'll probably buy
PALIT GTX660 OC 2GB D5 250$
or
ASUS GTX660-DC2O-2GD5 260$
hmm wonder about
SAPPHIRE HD7870 XT 2G BULK 270$
wonder for how long those will manage..

better get the Gigabyte 660 TI OC, Gigabyte HD 7950 WF3 or Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X
should all be below 300 as well and a lot faster than what you mentioned.
now that we know the next gen console specs and ATI/Nvidia's plans for 2013 I wouldnt worry so much about how long they will manage, lol

I was just going on how long ive been at places to now, was a rough guess  its still good value ive got out of it all so far
I clean mine every so often as well, just look at the idle temps here and then to see if it needs a blow out. |
