Value cards don't have that guaranteed reliabilty plus awesome warranty services like other big named brands.

Plus having XFX or any other noteworthy branding on your card is worth its weight in gold.

 

[thestepster]

all the reference cards and lower budget 'good branded' gtx460's are the same cards

palit ones are pretty tatty tho

but these ocuk ones have 2 years warranty i never keep cards for even a year never mind 2

i just bought 2 of them

 

[alexhull24]

Enjoy mate, the price is very good at the moment, pitches them right against ATIs 5770. Let us know how you get on!

 

[thestepster]

yeah pitches them at 5770's at price but far exceeds them in performance but they were bought mainly for folding@home but ill do some gamin on them tho

 

[zak4994]

I wanna be able to say I have two XFX 460s rather than I have two TekHead 460s.

But you're right about performance!

 

[thestepster]

those tekheads are palit cards and there fugly and crappy lookin, the ocuk ones look exactly the same as my asus one without the asus sticker, then in afterburner cfg file ill mod the voltage unlockin and ive got a really fast card for so cheap

 

[AMDFTW]

you and your 460's,there making there profits just from you lol

XFX dont make a 460 do they i though they were bumming ATI

 

[thestepster]

ha ha i know but at that price man its stupid to ignore it!

yeah they done make them

 

[AMDFTW]

if i had the funds i would of got the OCUK ones,they look just liek the MSI ones (none cyclone)

but i dont think they will OC very well

 

[thestepster]

they will oc fine with unlocking the voltage, 885 core gets me 11k ppd and thats good for me

 

[AMDFTW]

11232 to be exact

my card wont fold at 900 core 1.087 so its back to 880 i only gained 200pdp anyway

EDIT-get on BF 2 nayway

 

[thestepster]

i had my cards folding at 922 but ive backed it down to 885 just for more stability! cause these cards dont tell u when the 3d has crashed and u get gash ppd if it does that plus it games fine at 885 so its all good, gonna get my pc back to around 30k ppd so im very happy with that and at only £234 thats good stuff

and i havent got the stuff from the guy yet ill drop him a pm about it now, get ur arse on steam then havent seen u about for a few days

 

[zak4994]

I was using XFX as an example dude.

But I would certainly buy the OCUK one if I had the money or a rig worthy of housing such a thing.

 

[thestepster]

yeah its a steal! and with them being nvidia references they will perform good with afterburner unlockin the voltage tweaking

 

[AMDFTW]

i am still trying to break 20k pdp but i need a better cooler (u12p) so its hangin around 16-17 pdp

 

[thestepster]

im sittin on about 14-15 atm but ill have another 22k 2moro and im not even folding on my i7

 

[AMDFTW]

so just with 2 460s or 3

 

[thestepster]

i have 3 folding now with an 8800gt in my mums pc

 

[AMDFTW]

lol thats awsome,man i need another
