What do you guys think? Suitable for a downgrade from my 5850? Looking to branch out into the Nvidia gfx cards and am thinking of getting a second further down the line.

Hard to choose a suitable 460 when there are so many out there :(

why not get the 2gig GTX 460 for 12 quid more? http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/Nvidia+GTX+400+Series/Palit+GeForce+GTX+460+Sonic+2048MB+GDDR5+PCI-Express+Graphics+Card+?productId=41168

Prob go with the Acer one as it matches my mobo :P and Asus is a reliable, yet well performing brand.

it very much depends on the game. I know my game of choice UT3 wants as much vram as possible. I had a similiar choice a while back, even though I knew the high vram card was slower in most games, that little extra in pretty much the only game I played at the time was worth it for me.
