[Userremoved]

Useless even 512MB would work fine with this card

[citation][nom]unwanted[/nom]You do realise there can only be "1" no.1?Rattling off company names is also useless unless you can provide proof that one of them is the no.1 in europe.Note also he said "no.1 discrete graphic card SELLER and brand". So for any of those 4 or other brands to be no.1 instead of Plait they will need to SELL MORE graphics cards (not just have better cards).So to say any of those are no.1 over Palit you will need to quote published figures of graphics card sales in europe showing that have sold more then Palit.On that same note though Palit also need quote sales figures which show that they are the no.1 seller and not just say it.[/citation]
It's all about the Benjamins.
In real life you have a budget, let's be arbitrary and say you have a strict maximum of £$250.
You see which one gives you the maximum FPS/performance/etc and just buy it - irrespective of ATI/nVidia or Palit, Gigabyte, MSI.
I'm not cheap but I do expect value.

Damn, 2GB/GTX460 sounds very attractive for those building a computer soon.

Stay tuned for pricing and availability

That means it will be very expensive
Benchmark against a cheaper ATI card and ATI gives better frames will seal the coffin lid on this product

For one Palit Owns formerly named "Gainward" and anyone who can format a hard drive knows that gainward dominated the performance graphics card world for quite some time.
As for the added Gb, When we were all used to 64Mb being the standard all the same squawkers were saying it was just a marketing ploy, and most of the sheep believed them till those of us with 128Mb could play games they couldn't. Remember all the peeps who bought 64Mb Geforce 4's Only to find out they were no good for all the future games.
All the review sites including this one said that 128Mb was a waste.
My philosophy is not the same as Bill Gates and the reasoning that “Nobody will ever need anymore than 64k of memory”.
If I believed that BS i would still be running an Apple IIe 64K of memory with a floppy drive.
This card will excel in resolutions 1680 and above.
I would highly recommend it as who knows what you will upgrade next month.
A lot of us will be looking at 3D so the extra memory would really come into play.
I for one will be buying two of these.

I'm strongly considering buying two to replace my 5870 (tired of ATi's drivers) but I really want to see SLI reviews first... they're in stock at Newegg but two of the four reviews state poor SLI performance with practically no scaling. The other two only used a single card, so their reviews aren't relevant to my needs.

I know it's just a newegg review, but seeing the first two SLI reviews come up with the same issue is a bit scary.

I have swapped from MSI gtx285 Super Pipe to the Palit GTX460 2g but am only able to run at 1600 X 1200 instead of the 1920 x 1200 resolution I was using with MSI. Also the new card will only start up on my 2nd monitor instead of the usual primary monitor and does not recognise the primary unless I disconnect the secondary. All very odd. Apart from those problems it runs Flightsim (FSX)well but I have no 2nd monitor.
