Hi there


Guys it is with great pleasure that the man in the van has just dropped of several boxes of what is quite possibly the worlds fastest and highest quality GTX 460 on the market. Check out this beuty:-



MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK "Super-OC" 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card @ £223.24 inc VAT

GX-099-MS_400.jpg


- Twin FrozR II Thermal Design with dual PWM Fans & Heatpipes for 80% more airflow.
- Military Class Components such as Hi-C Cap provides more precise GPU voltage.
- MSI Afterburner overclocking utility Support Over Voltage function of GPU, PLL and Memory
- First and only GTX 460 with 7+1 Phase power design

co-development by MSI and Rivatuner, MSI releases the ultimate graphics card utility “Afterburner”. This utility enables all MSI graphics cards users to boost performance and to monitor all kinds of critical information in real-time. Afterburner is a completely free utility which is compatible with almost all MSI graphics cards. MSI Graphics Card products utilities high quality solid capacitor. For the gamers and high-end users, this feature not only means that product has better quality components within, but also provide much stronger support while users want to engage in hard-core tuning.

- Memory Speed: 1024MB GDDR5 3600MHz
- Shader Speed: 1560MHz (Upto 2000MHz possible but not guaranteed)
- The world’s first graphics card supports voltage adjustment of GPU, Memory, and PLL.
- 7+1 Phase PWM design provides extra 30A current output power to GPU for better overclocking power capability.

Twin FrozR II Thermal Design
- Dual PWM Fans + Heatpipes for 80% more airflow.
- Nickel-plated copper base for better dissipation.
- Rounded design to prevent keeping dust.
- 18c Cooler and 8.1 dB quieter!
- 15.7% quieter than reference design.

Military Class Components
- Hi-C Cap provides more precise GPU voltage.
- SSC (Solid State Chock) has No Buzz noise and higher current for better overclocking ability.
- All Solid CAP for longer lifespan.
- 7+1 Phase power design
- Reduces power consumption by switching of power phases dynamically when not in use (active phase switching)

MSI Afterburner overclocking utility
- Support Over Voltage function of GPU, PLL and Memory
- Support advanced fan speed control.
- Support burn-in stability test.

PhysX & 3DVision Surround technology
- Support PhysX technology effects for realist physics effect.

ORDER NOW










The bad news guys, we've only had 60pc arrive, stock is incredibly short on this item, but once again we are the first in the UK. Nathwraith is gonna be testing one of these tomorrow to see what they can really do. All backorders will ship tomorrow and anyone wishing to come in and collect please do so after 2pm as our warehouse is still extremely busy and is 24hrs behind on booking in of stock. Really looking forward to seeing some 1000MHz plus core speeds from this baby. :D :D :D :D
 
Bad price for the top quality product. Their RRP is $225, they should be selling at £190 but obviously they aren't due to supply shortages or whatever you call it. Can recommend it only to hardcore overclockers who really want to compete against other 460s...

The RRP is not $225.

The trade cost to UK distributors/Etailors buying 100's of reference GTX 460's is $205 for standard reference design and that is before you add shipping and retailor markups.

I can tell you now our cost on this is above $225 and thats not because MSI are marking up.

If you have a link that says this is $225 please post it as be interesting to see what MSI say as its definetely somekind of mistake when NVIDIA reference board cost is $205. I'd expect retail price of this to be more like $255 even in the US.
 
A great card no doubt but slightly misleading calling it a 'super OC 1000Mhz core card', IMO.

When did 780 = 1000? Maybe needs a re-jigg with the wording there.
 
Well i think he meant, by default it's OC but if you "super OC" it they have been seen to hit 1000mhz core speed

and no it can't be returned if you read the description "- Core Speed: 780MHz (Beyond 1000MHz possible but not guaranteed)"
 
IMO £224 is simply too much for a GTX460, heavily overclocked or not.

It's nearly £50 more than the Asus GTX460 which is also known to be an excellent overclocker.

Heck its only slightly cheaper than 2 OCUK Value GTX460 768mb cards. Whilst this does bring with it possible SLI issues it also gives you a lot more performance as long as you don't run out of memory.
