[Djentleman]

I wanted to gather opinions on which you think is better. Fanboys allowed :lol:
The gtx 460 or the ati 6850.
I really do want to know which one out performes the other.
thanks for your comments

They're pretty much the same, (when compared to a 1GB GTX460 that is, the 768MB version is weaker) look out for the Asus aftermarket versions, aka DirectCU, and get the aftermarket version which is cheaper.

Do you like your 4850? What type of games do you play with it?

What the hell is it with this 14!?!?!?!?

I think you'll get a little more out of the 6850 but lose physx....... which might be okay because it puts a hurt on some games in some systems.

No way you can play demanding game and have turned on PhysX at the same time at 1680x1050 and up with a card like the GTX460.
@Djentleman i'm very happy with my HD 4850, it's been serving me excellent for the past 2.5 years, i play all games on high/max settings @ 1280x1024 resolution, of course except for BF3, because i'm being bottlenecked by my CPU, and the 4850 is quite an old car too. Still going strong though

@unkown - That's good, what are you planning on upgrading to?
@swifty - I've never been big on physx. But that's just me
