So I've decided to upgrade my video card and I've narrowed them down to the following:
XFX HD 6850 1GB
Gigabyte GTX 460 OC 1GB
MSI GTX 460 Cyclone OC Edition 1GB
All are pretty much the same price: £140-£150.
The reason why I put 2 GTX 460s in there is because I've heard problems with the Gigabyte card (on Newegg) where they fail after a couple of months. However it seems to run quieter than the MSI. Would be great to hear the opinion of someone who owns either of these cards regarding reliability and noise levels.
I do intend to overclock the video card so I'm also interested in the overclocked performance (and temp and noise).
I game at 1920x1080 and don't really want to spend any more as I think these cards are sufficient.
