Product description

Product Description

The special inclined dual fan design effectively minimizes the flow of turbulence between two fans and enhances heat dissipation of hot area right underneath each fan. By unique design, WINDFORCETM 2X even enlarges air channel on the graphics card vents and creates a more effective air flow system in chassis. This special design helps heat dissipate quickly from GPU. In addition, WINDFORCETM 2X is equipped with 2 copper heat-pipes which strengthen the speed of heat dissipation.

This card plays all our games old and new at decent frame rates and quality level if not always the top setting {this will be our CPUS fault} Skyrim, UT3, the battlefield series etc .Its also very reliable like every Gigabyte piece of hardware i have ever had unlike so many other supposedly reputable brands which have all let me down at some point over my 14 years of system building.Its also blissfully quiet.

I put 4 starts for this graphic card because the only problem I have, is with air flow. Even with 2 fans the average temp is 36-38 on idle and 60-65 on games, so I put on my case side another fan in front of it and now average temp is 28-30 idle and 45-50 on games. If you have space for another fan definitely you should buy. I play my games on 1920x1080 with high settings with no problem average FPS is 75-80. On ultra high settings drop around 40-50. On medium well more than 100 FPS.

I just wish I had the budget to have this card in sli configuration. Very good card despite having two power slots. Though not bad overall performance. Got a rating of 7.5 (out of 7.9) on my windows 7 x64 index which shows you how good it is for this price

This graphics card unfortunately did not work for me. The onboard HD audio drivers for the HDMI kept uninstalling my Creative X-Fi sound card. I tried for literally about 11 hours in total trying to get it all to work correctly and I like to consider myself quite technically minded. Contacted Creative, nVIDIA, various support forums, and just had no luck. It appears to be a common problem, a driver bug. At present 15th March 2011, there is no fix. So please, if you have a Creative sound card, do some research first as it may not work for you. The actual graphics on screen were excellent, the only problem was my computer had no sound and I wasn't prepared to lose my sound card and settle for the onboard sound.

Sli'd works sweet with win7 premium and Ubuntu. Must admit I don't really push it that much as I have only played Crysis but that was quick and smooth. Plenty of good reviews out there for this baby.

I got this card for christmas and when i installed everything it worked for 3 days or so and then i started developing problems, my card would randomly shut down the system when i played on the games (due to blue screens) i tried everything inc. Driver updates, BIOS updates, Windows updates, New power connections, Different PCI Slot. But still nothing :(

I had to return the card and i have settled on a XFX Radeon 6870 and that just seems to be working fine.

My 8800 GTX died, and after fixing it a couple of times by reflowing the solder in the oven, it finally gave up the ghost.

I chose this as a replacement, since i thought it was a good price for a card that exceeded all specs of the old 8800GTX.
It also has the same power connectors, but a lower power usage.
It was also important that it was a 2.0 PCIE as the motherboard I have AW9D-MAX only is a 1.0 board, and I had read there were problems with 2.1 cards on 1.0 boards.

Anyway it works perfectly, although windows 7 downloaded an old driver that crashed - ensure you download the latest from the nvidia site.
Worked perefect with AWD

Acquistata un anno fa per sostituire una Nvidia 8000 gts, è perfetta per il simulatore di volo, e le due ventole fanno un ottimo lavoro di raffreddamento. Il prezzo decisamente conveniente...che dire...da acquistare!

5.0 out of 5 stars Silencieuse, performante, abordable, what else?
Reviewed in France on 17 May 2011
Suite à un comparatif, j'ai opté pour cette gigabyte, et en effet elle est giga, car elle est, contrairement aux autres geforce que j'ai eu, extrêmement discrète : c'est appréciable de ne pas avoir le bruit d'une éolienne quand on joue.

Elle fait suite à mon ATI VAPOR X hd 5770 qui déjà était très bonne, celle-ci gère le physx et est très performante en 1680x1050 (tous mes jeux sont au max et fluides) et au prix abordable, je pense que c'est LE meilleur choix dans cette gamme de prix.

5.0 out of 5 stars Einfach, Praktisch, Leistungsstark: SEHR GUT
Reviewed in Germany on 21 March 2011
Einfach:
Die Grafikkarte ist schnell und einfach eingebaut. Einfach in den PCIe x16, die 2 6pol Stromanstecker rein, Gehäuse zu und los.
Treiber einfach auf Nvidia.de vorher oder nachher runterladen und installieren. GTX 460 wird sofort erkannt.

Praktisch:
Das mitgelieferte Equipment ist nützlich:
-DVI auf VGA Adapter (benutze ich, ist gut)
-Mini HDMI auf HDMI Adapter

Bei geringer Leistungsbeanspruchung, als Beispiel auf dem Desktop oder beim Surfen taktet die Grafikkarte automatisch runter und spart so Strom. Kern- und Shadertakt liegen nach CPUZ bei ca.
50mhz bzw. 100Mhz.

Die Grafikkarte lässt sich dank 2 aufgesetzen Lüftern gut übertakten. Sie ist im Übrigen schon von Haus aus mit Garantie übertaktet, der Coretakt ist von standardmäßigen 675Mhz auf 715Mhz hochgetaktet. Einen Vergleich der Leistung konnte ich allerdings nicht anstellen.

Leistungsstark:
Die Graffikarte verarbeitet
-Battlefield - Bad Company 2
-Call of Duty - Black Ops
-CoD Modern Warfare 2

spielerisch auf den höchsten Details bei 1680x1050 ohne ein nerviges Lüftergeräusch oder eine Anmerkung eines Schwächelns. Der automatischen Taktung ist es zuzuschreiben, dass man meist nicht mehr als 60fps erreicht, was eben nicht bedeutet, dass sie nicht mehr könnte.

Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen: Wer aktuelle Spiele in vollem Glanz bei gleichzeitig akzeptablen Strom-und Lärmentwicklungen genießen möchte, ist hier bestens aufgehoben mit der GTX 460 bon Gigabyte. Die Übertaktungsmöglichkeit lässt noch Raum nach oben wenn mehr Leistung erwartet als geliefert wird (oder werden sollte ^.^)

SEHR GUT

4.0 out of 5 stars ça envoit du lourd !!
Reviewed in France on 27 March 2011
Très très bonne carte graphique ! Attention pour les petits boitiers, cette carte est longue: la mienne est montée dans un P183 Antec, et c'est tout juste avec le disque dur.

Sinon, ce qui ne gâche rien; elle est silencieuse !!! Pour lapartie performance, je vous laisse voir les différents comparatifs; mais prenez la version 1go, pas moins.

- 1 étoiles pour un bundle un peu leger: pas un jeu , pas un dvd fourni !
