Quick question:

GTX460 768mb or N640GTX Hawk?

Note: I will be overclocking these cards.

Thanks.

What Vram is the Hawk?

I have no idea

1Gb - http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2010/12/01/msi-n460gtx-hawk-review/1

Unless there is also a 768Mb version, check MSI website.

I dont think there is a 768mb version

stulid · 30 Nov 2011 at 00:42

How much is this card then?

Bradguin121 · 30 Nov 2011 at 00:44

well i won biddings on two cards on ebay the gtx 460 768mb for £90 and the NGTX460 Hawk for £110 and i only wanna buy one haha so which one shall i get? :/

The 1Gb hawk.

And im not saying just because its got a better name or something, its nearly 2012 and getting a card with under 1GB Vram is silly.

Bradguin121 · 30 Nov 2011 at 00:46

will that be better for overclocking too?

stulid · 30 Nov 2011 at 00:48

It is, the cooler is better, the circuitry which provides the power will be of higher quality.

Bradguin121 · 30 Nov 2011 at 00:50

Ooh, ok, thanks. I wasn't sure it would be because it's already an overclocked edition. Anyway thanks for the help!

The last page of that Bit-tech review they overclocked it.

Do you plan to pay for both cards you won on ebay? You wouldn't want the shame of being an ebay time waster

... being a seller I hate them scumbags.

Definitely settle on the 1gb Hawk. You'll notice the performance increase the extra VRAM gives you.
