Fantastic price on the GTX460! Surely the best card at this price!

Yes, nothing comes close at this price!

Great card great price 460...

Just dont understand who would get that CPU over a 955 or 555 and not unlock...

10 quid for the L3 cache just makes this chip redundant...

I got it when it was on offer a couple of weeks back. It was to go into my HTPC so the lower maximum power rating compared to the 125W CPUs made sense for me. The 4850e (2.5GHz Athlon 64 X2) that was in there was starting to struggle when pushed - recording 4 channels while watching a Blu-Ray and streaming DIVX video to an Xbox360 for example, so being able to use a cool-running, fast quad core without having to change motherboard/RAM seemed like a good upgrade.

As CPUs go, I love it. The HTPC now starts up much quicker (using the same 40GB Intel SSD boot drive), it runs everything I can throw at it without breaking a sweat, and power usage under normal use is exactly the same as the 4850e was using - which I wasn't expecting with a 50W difference in max TDP between the two and 2 extra cores, but definitely an added bonus.

I understand your point completely that if you are running a gaming machine the other CPUs make sense, but it's easy to forget on these forums that not every PC is built to play games.

True but that CPU outsells the 955 and 555 combined.

Really? At it's current price its nicely placed between Athlon II X3/X4's and the Phenom II X4 955. Normal selling price of £89.99 makes no sense when the 955 is cheaper?!

 

[littlepuppy]

Stu, get the 955, clock it down and undervolt? then when you move on you have a better chip? But hey - if you are happy thats all that matters

Gibbo - I am shocked at those stats....

I think people dont realise what they are getting because of the "phenom" name..

Still a good chip for the price it just seems to be a funny one IMO.

What TV tuner card are you running if you don't mind me asking?

What TV tuner card are you running if you don't mind me asking?

I was running a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-TD500 and a KWorld PC160-2T (both PCI dual tuners), until a few months back. However, reception on some of the weaker freeview channels was a problem (our Digital Switch Over isn't until next year), so i'm now running a USB KWorld UB499-2T (twin tuner) and two FloppyDTV's (single tuners).

Ah got you, I forgot you can run more than one tuner at once to pick up TV. I am currently running a "hacked" version of PlayTV* on my wife's laptop (acting as a HTPC) through Windows media centre and I would really like more channel recording and HD channels.

*Essentially the play TV box for the PS3 but with modified PC drivers.
