New GFX

Which shall it be?

Gainward NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Graphics Card 1024MB PCI-E VGA/DVI/HDMI £141
or
Gainward NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 Graphics Card 512MB PCI-E VGA/DVI/HDMI £84

My mobo (Gigabyte GA-EP31-DS3L) is not PCIe 2.0 but both cards are backwards compatible. This won't affect performance will it?

I've been using http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html for comparisons.....

I have this MSI gtx460 and its pretty awesome. Runs really quiet and cool, PR doesn't really tax it at 1920x1080 on full

I see my grfx card is on top there : GeForce GTX 580 3,855
Also I would go for the 460 tbh, can get a superclocked one on overclockers for a good price.

I have the NVIDEA 460, works a treat.. have had no problems with

BF2
BF2142
Left 4 Dead
Starcraft II

It's coming Wednesday (while the wife is out!)

Good Choice :

Yeah, cheers for that Mike.

Card is in...
BF2 graphics all are set to high with 8x anti-aliasing
I'm getting FPS of 99.9/10.1 while I'm digging a FOB!
It drops to 80ish/20ish when I'm driving..
Is that good?

what resolution you playing at? and what is the rest of your computer like (CPU etc)

but that seems pretty good to me, i think bf2 has a 100fps limit, so it doesnt get much better than 99. if you wanted to be really sad you could monitor your gfx card temp/stress levels whilst playing
