5850 or GTX 460

[phil128]

Hi all.

I've recently bought an EVGA GTX 460 card so I could do some CUDA programming at University. I'm surprised with the performance increase I've gained when I've ran the Unigine Benchmark. I know Nvidia seems to have better DX11 features (tessellation, advance DOF).

Should I sell my 5850? Dunno what to do.

AFAIK the 5850 is a faster overall card but does lose out on tessellation.

Seeing as you have a 460 id probably sell the 5850, you could always put the funds towards a second 460.

Id keep the 460 also. You really won't notice much difference gaming wise
