I my self though , am a fan of Nvidia fan. The 460 is a beast, your power supply will need alot of amperage on the +12dcvolts rail, probably 30 amps if you are running one card, 60amps if running SLI. Recommended Power Supply Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation: GeForce GTX 460 On your average system the card requires you to have a 450 to 500 Watt power supply unit. GeForce GTX 460 in SLI A second card requires you to add another ~200 Watts. You need a 650 ~700 Watt power supply unit. There are many good PSUs out there, please do have a look at our many PSU reviews as we have loads of recommended PSUs for you to check out in there. What would happen if your PSU can't cope with the load?: bad 3D performance crashing games spontaneous reset or imminent shutdown of the PC freezing during gameplay PSU overload can cause it to break down The GTX460 has better specs then the 5770, but uses more power. Here is a link to current and upcoming DirectX11 games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DirectX_11_support Awards

Personally, I'd go with nVidia. ATI's drivers have sucked major balls over the past 4 or 5 releases. I had a 4850x2 (water cooled) and couldn't stand it because of the damn drivers. I just got 2 GTX 460's and LOVE 'EM. They can max Crysis at 1920x1200 with no AA. They beat a GTX 480. They're no bigger than a 8800GT, so you don't need a massive case to hold them. They run pretty cool. My idle temps (after replacing the stock TIM) was 33 and load (Furmak BURN!!!) was ~70c. I could hear the fans kick up when it hit 60c, but it's no louder than the stock fans in an Antec 900.

GET The one your looking at---you will cream when you FIRST RUN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awards
