    thanks for the response (:

    my current pc has a no good integrated card, a nvidia 9100

    the gtx 460 has been something ive been looking at, and i think i will be able to scrape up the extra cash for it.
    would you recommend it over the 5700 series? is there a huge difference between performance ?

    I will also recommend you to go for the ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Card which will cost you $159. It supports DirectX 11 with Shader Model 5.0, where else the GeForce GTX 460 will cost you with its $229 standard price tag with almost the same features. By the way, can you tell us what is your complete computer specifications?
