Graphics card for around £100

I'm thinking about giving my dad my 5770 (that I paid £230 for!) for xmas and buying the Asus GeForce GTX 460

Are there any driver issues I should know about, i havent had a Nvidia card for a few years now and I had problem with the last one i had (Geforce TI200??)
 
460 is the best you could do for that price as long as he doesnt mind extra heat and power
Higher power consumption yes, extra heat...no. The GTX460 768MB is actually cooler running than the 5770, despite the higher power consumption (may be something to do with most 5770 only comes with an average cooler :p)
 
no driver issues with nvidia not like ati. the gtx460 will be a great card.
they are a lot better than a 5770.
also no heat issues with a 460
