MSI 450GTS Overclocked edition - Im still really amazed by this card, i had a 4870X2 before and so far all games play as smooth at 1200p so for me thats impressive considering this is a mid range card, cant complain at it.
Moved over to a ATI 5870 vapor-x from a 8800GTS and whilst it has allowed me to max games out at 1920 x 1080 in terms of how games look, not been all that blown away. but it is quick, and only Metro 2033 give it something to do... Oh and F1 2010 but that game has some right shoddy optimisation since the recent patch codemasters released - nice one.!!
Been very impressed mind with HL2 and cinemod 10.90 fully maxed out, and I was very impressed with Metro 2033 fully maxed but DOF and tessellation killed it.
TBH can't see me changing GPU for quite some time, every single game i've thrown at it has done more then enough FPS even with v sync on to make me think - why buy anything more powerful at the moment??

did you have micro stuttering or something with the CF setup?
1 Gb GTX 460 SLI.
I had a pair of 5770s before, but those were to replace a dead 4870 xfire. While they were good, I wanted something better, but not as pricey as the 5850 was back then, or the 6950 atm.
6950 is an awesome card, but I like having two £150ish cards, and a pair of 460s overclocked to 900 Mhz is as good as a 5970 in most games
Coupled with a 4 Ghz I7 920. Right now if I were buying a new setup, I would have to have the new sandybridge k series clocked to around 5 Ghz, plus a single 6950 unlocked and maybe add a second later on.

Lol, why would you buy the Zotac
Gigabyte, MSI and Asus 460s were are all brilliantly built compared to the others.
My Msi cyclones hardly go over 70 degrees at 900 mhz and 100% GPU load, and remain silent.
1 Leadtek GeForce GTX 280 1024MB and a another GTX 280 OC version running at SLI mode at 1920 by 1200 resolution
