Current spec is in my sig, thinking of going sli though with two 450's.

Can anyone spec me a AM3 board SLI compatible in the £50-£60 range.

Or would it be just as beneficial to get a 1gb 460?
 
Whats your budget for the extra benefits?

Oops 50 - 60 soz for you.

You say a budget and are happy with a 460? Buy it!

Sorry i think the post needs more thinking as nothing has been posted.

No AMD boards do SLi, unless you get one with a Lucid chip. But multi-GPU scaling on Lucid Hydra is about 20% worse compared to SLi.

I would get the 460 1gb as that's the only option for you. Personally I would save up a few more and see how the 560 does.

Thanks for the advice.

Didn't know AMD couldn't do sli. Should have gone the ATI route initially then. Oh well.

Ill save a few extra pennies and get the 460.

I game at 1360 x 768 59hz.

Just looking for all round general performance increase to be honest.

But now thinking about it, ill have to do a pretty hefty upgrade to get it all setup. New mobo, gpu and psu.

Reckon i'll probably go for a 460 or 5850 then.
