GTX 460 or should I wait for something better?

560 seems to be a beefed up 460, I would go for 570 or 580 which I'm holding out for also

i use the 460GTX 1GB and I think it's a great card. I get great performance with it, also have an AMD phenom x4 965BE, 8GB ram. I get a solid 35 to 40 FPS in online fights.

I'd say your processor and ram would do a lot to help with that droz. Mine are quite inferior to yours and putting a 460 amongst them might not be such a great boost as I had hoped it.

My mobo only supports DDRII and I only have 3Gb as well so it might just be time to go back to the drawing board. It's a shame really, my system has given excellent service for a few years now but that's the way it is. Not much point in settling for 'Low" settings.

I really should have titled this thread "Help me convince myself to bite the bullet and buy a new system."

I second that, I went from 9800 GTX (x2) to a 460 GTX OC, and the performance is great. Obviously there is some issues with this game currently, but I get very playable framerates, and other games like DCS A-10 is smooth as silk...

A 460 or 560 will work nice in CloD and in ANY other actual title.

Don't get stuck to the talking that CloD need 10GB VRAM to run and other nonsense: you just will need to lower IN ACTUAL BUILD OF THE SIM the texture setting from "ORIGINAL" to "HIGH" and/or reduce Land Detail to "MEDIUM" and will fly with other settings all up, with great performance.

Better VGA will be nice and will last longer, but isn't really a need to run CloD beautiful and with great performance.
