Does anyone here have any EVGA GTX 560 Ti 2win cards? Or their older cousins the 460 2 win cards?

Title edit.

I know they are not current cards, but I have to ask.

I've been running a gtx460 since they were a new card:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=7047761

Solid bit of kit, but power hungry for what it delivers (comparing it with a GTX750ti which is faster and uses less power (60w vs 160w)


I skipped the 560 family as they appeared to be somewhat fragile and variable (you either got a "good one" or it failed. I skipped the 660 just because I did, and now have a 760 running which uses slightly more power than the 460 (170w vs 160w), but has been stable thus far and is somewhat faster than the 460
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=6452693

In your situation I would avoid the 560 (chances of getting a bad one are just too great) and go for the (probably) cheaper 460, or save a bit longer and get a 750ti.

(UK eBay has 460s from about 10gdp to 65gdp, and 560s from about 15gdp to 70gdp; ignoring the "sillies" at both ends of the price range)

The 2win series cards are both dual gpu cards, the 560 Ti version is rated at 850MHz and the 460 version is at 700MHz. Ok, I will get the 460 version, and it did have a water block, though I don't know if the guy is making them, nor how much He charged to make them.
