Is the GTX worth £100 over the GTX 460 768MB?

[Craterloads]

Bought my GTX 470 yesterday for £225 and still in the 7 days time period to return. Would it be better just to get a GTX 768MB for £100 less and overclock it.

Im using a 1920 x 1200 monitor playing RTS games like C@C 4, SCII etc

i would yes if you need that £100 for other things

If you only pay RTS games like that then a 470 is way overkill tbh. Still, its nice to have the extra power incase you feel like a change of game.

I would keep the 470.

Like MooMoo444 says, it really does depend on the games you currently and are planning on playing.

 

[Nocky24]

Yehh I'd just keep it. I don't think its overkill at all to be honest. Nothing better than having some peformance in reserve for those future titles.

Love my 470, really wasnt sure what to expect when I purchased. For some bizzare reason it got bashed on many of the review sites I went to. Easily outpaced my old 280, runs quieter and cooler! Stick with it man

Keep the 470 for a 1920*1200 screen. It should "fit" just about perfectly to that resolution.

 

[Craterloads]

thanks, i was hoping the majority said keep the 470. Annoying when youve just bought something and then a price drop!

Fixed.

 

[The Running Man]

nah the 768mb isnt the way forward. maybe you could have saved £50 and gotten a 1GB Asus or Giga for 170-180 instead?

 

[Duff-Man]

Fixed.

oops

 

[kmufc77]

Keep the 470 100%

if you could afford to buy the 470 without leaving yourself skint then you mightaswell keep it. But like phoenix said if you want the £100 that badly..............

 

[Peter450]

Even RTS games can be pretty graphically intense, from my experiance, i remember when COH first came out, and there's been plenty of others, i'd keep the 470
