MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK "Super-OC" 1024MB

[Mr.V]

just wanted to write a quick mini review on this card i bought from OCuk, the card looks fantastic and its perfect for anyone with a window case.

It has red LEDs, it features 6 LEDs and at idle 2 are lit, as the load gets greater more LEDs light up.

WEI gives it a 7.3 not bad for a £130 card

Stock Code: GX-099-MS

thought it might help anyone whos looking to buy a card in that price range

any questions feel free to ask, can upload pics if requested

6870 us faster at the same price range, but people seem to be having problem with the VTX 6870 they are receiving...

thank you for the info I didnt know that, hopefully someone reading this thread will find that useful in deciding what card to buy. its so hard to pick with so much choice.

if you want eye candy go with the MSI, if you want a faster card grab a 6870 and make sure its not a VTX 6870.

what is the issues with them?

Only built the system today with a asrock extreme 7 and i7 2600k with 16Gb ram. once ive benched the system to make sure everything running well ill be overclocking theres lots of reviews online the card is a beast when overclocked

 

[Mr.V]

Got the same card but can't do 1ghz on it sadly. Mine does 950/1900/2250 at the moment. Memory seems to want even more as well lol

still not a bad overclock, did you use the msi rivatuner to achieve those overclocks? are the LEDs on your card red also? someone else in a different forum had blue LEDs!! might mod mines and put blue ones

 

[Mr.V]

Does anyone know what the 3 lil cables are for that come with the card?
