GPU upgrade

[nutsnut]

Hi Guys

What would be a good upgrade coming from GTX 460 in SLI. CPU is an i5 2500k at 4.5ghz on stock voltage.

Looking to spend around £300 and recoup some of that with the sale of the above cards.


Cheers

Kepler.

As above or a ATI 7870 is due end of the month.

You'd be struggling to beat 2 460s with £300 anyway! Unless you run at high res and therefore may benefit from more VRAM. What res do you play at?

Don't know anything about Kepler, but if its not long to wait and you can, that seems sensible

Play at 1080p, if £300 is not going to improve much then i'll stick with what I have. Though i do struggle with some games with the 768mb Vram,

A 7870 has 2Gb Vram and Kepler is unknown at the moment, this will help massively compared to your low Vram on those cards.

Kepler is coming out in less than 3 weeks supposedly so I suggest being patient.

Ah, if its the 768MB versions, then you can get an improvement for sure. Perhaps a 7870 in a few weeks?
