AMD or Nvidia?

just a quick one, would a GTX460 2GB be good enough to game @ 1920x1080?

Yes? but its a hot and power hungry card...and the difference between it and a 6850 is a fart in a hurricane......

grab a 560ti if you want a good sinlge card alternative that will keep you sorted for a good long while....

ok cheers, will swerve it then. thought maybe the 2GB would enable a bit better settings. did notice it requires 2x6 pin PCI-E connectors.

460's are neither hot or power hungry! I'm not sure where you got that from.

found this one for £136



would this be better than 1 of my HD6850s?

the reason im thinking Nvidia is i like the intel quick sync, so with CUDA aswell it should be better? or can they not be run in conjunction?

CUDA is currently useless at encoding and is simply a marketing scam, seriously the quality is beyond awful.

When are these '28nm' cards coming out?

 

[An Exception]

Rumours currently suggesting a 2-3 months for AMD and 6 - 9 months for Nvidia.

ok, enough is enough, fed up of my issues now with my 2xHD6850 CF. managed to get a SSD and Silver Arrow, so now running my i5 2500k @ 4.8GHz and decent loading speeds from drive, but still gfx problems.
so........HD6950 2GB or GTX560 1GB? or is there something around the £200 mark thats better?
cant seem to find any Nvidia cards with 2GB Vram?

Nvidia all the way try to find a GTX480 or GTX570 for around £230 new they are around you just need to look for them as they sell out fast at this price!

how do i get MSI AB to display VRam usage? i can get it to due VRam speed, CPU temps/usage, FPS......but not VRam usage
