Does anyone here have any EVGA GTX 560 Ti 2win cards? Or their older cousins the 460 2 win cards? The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Title edit. I know they are not current cards, but I have to ask. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

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) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

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.
