+1 I loved my 5770 so muchI am now going to trying the 460 the only reason am changing is its newer
Its a hell of a lot faster too.
The GTX 460 768mb is only 30 quid more expensive too.
Who would buy a 5770 now?

Where are those figures from?
The 460 1Gb uses 160w IIRC
Seems like it's time for a much overdue price drop!

The only review I found where the 460 used less than the 5850 was guru which I'm told is team green biased.
Regardless it's not a huge difference but it's something that should be considered.
HTPC builders with little gaming needs?
No it isn't. the 470 is the better card.
Fair enough.
http://www.*****.net/content/item.php?item=25391&page=12 = GTX 460 and 5850 both use the same power. GTX 460 runs cooler. (You can guess the hashed out part.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/3809/nvidias-geforce-gtx-460-the-200-king/17 = Equal on both counts
4350 would do
Not for gaming.
I'm thinking about being able to get a 460 with a fancy cooler a bit cheaper than the 5850 with a stock one.
I'm planning a 24" monitor sometime next month, should that shove me in one direction?
EDIT: so far my reasoning is this, 460 is a bit slower/cheaper, 5850 is a bit faster/more expensive and I'll be upgrading again when dx11 is the norm. new monitor will be something like 1920x1080 native.

You said HTPC with little gaming needs...
I meant HTPC with SOME gaming needs.
If there's little, there must be some
Then if there is some then a 460 @ 30 quid makes sense.
Not for an htpc with low power consumption, it doesn't
it should be a little cheaper though, say £110 or so.
