Didn't you mean 2x 460... at least? I mean, all that high end gear, particularly a full triple-Crossfire (why Nvidia card?) motherboard and a Gigawatt of power, and then a measily 460? Something wrong with that right there. :hmmm:
|
Especially seeing as how the 560s launched the other day with 33% more performance.
|
Great machine. 460 is fine. You can always replace it later within a couple years if it becomes inadequate. That 460 can cover 2 years of gaming with decent if not great performance at high graphics setting 3 with medium settings and 4 with low medium settings.
But that 16Gb of RAM is an excess. |

Don't get me wrong: you won't have to upgrade the other parts in a while, but what's the point of spending a ton of money on a triple/quad Crossfire board and then skimping on the graphics? At least if it was a Radeon (oh, sorry; AMD) you could actually use Crossfire in the future. :hmmm: |
It's still the Radeon, Arclight, just the AMD Radeon instead of the ATI Radeon.
|
Ah, right. :doh:
See, that's why you don't mess with branding: people get confused. :D |
