KitGuru originally predicted that the GTS450 cards would be in the £99 to £129 range – depending on clock speed and memory. If the GTX460 drops to £130 or less in the next week or so, then we have to say the £129 upper limit for the GTS450 is looking unlikely. It’s too close. No one would pay £129 for a GTS450 when they can have a GTX460 for the same money.

If the GTX460 drops to £130 that's a freaking steal.

Watching AMD/ATI be complacent makes me want to kill them.
GTX 460 = Win win.

Dunno mate. We bought these before the price cut. Also there's always a premium to be paid for EVGA in general.

sign, i heard that this was possible but people had problems with that patch. that's why i went with the m4n82 deluxe 980a. would have got the m4a79t instead.

is the same thing possible but for running two ati cards on a sli board? if so that would be great for me.

problem is with newer drivers like 258'xx's or newer, patch still works with 257.15 an 257.21 then 197.xx an all earlier drivers upto 177.xx or so. 258.xx work but people experiencing black screens an glitching when running sli.

lol think i will pass looks too complicated :lol: planning on getting a second 5850 down the line anyway :p, hopefully ATi will wake up and realise they need to do some price cuts to keep up with Nvidia

its only the 768MB versions but they are as low as £110 ! direct competition with the 5770.
