What would be a good upgrade from a 768mb 460

What would be a decent upgrade? Got 150 to spend but looking to spend it on the MM and pickup a used one, also would there be any performance issues with a used card?

Also would I need to upgrade my 450w psu?

First of all, would you provide your pc spec including resolution?

Used cards you never know if its been over clocked to hell and back and if it has what life expectancy can you expect it to have?

My advice would be go for new, i take it you'd like to stick with NVIDIA? 560Ti is a nice card i believe but you'd most likley need at least 600W PSU.

Again all dependant on your cpu, Res etc as you may 1. bottleneck and 2. not actually need the extra v ram or power.

I3 overclocked to 4.4
450w psu
4gb ddr3
1tb hd
2x 24 monitors at 1920x1080

Upgrade would be worth it...min of 650W PSU to be on safe side. 560 is ample but honestly if you can stretch to a bit more try and get a 6950 / 70 or a 570. That would last you a good while then definatly nothing out next year that would trouble you.

Bonus with ATI is eyefinity...grab another monitor and you,ve got a sweet set up there!

Some GTX 480s went for £160 on MM. You'll need a better PSU though.

Wait till the HD7xxx come out and buy one of the lower end cards.

As they use less power you won't have to upgrade your PSU and you can invest all the money on the card.

i hope that psu is a good make and i think you will be struggling even if it is . your going to need a bigger psu with a new gpu .
cheers
