Comparing Two Graphic Cards

[Sithus 1]

SOLVED

 

Long story short... I built a new desktop computer for myself with one of my friends about a year ago and I just decided it's time for an upgrade.

 

I need help deciding which graphics card is better overall and why (if possible). Here are the two cards I'm comparing...

 

1.) EVGA GeForce GTX 460

2.) EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti

When it comes to hardware, I'm at a loss most of the time. I've picked up bits and pieces along the way but I'd rather have sage advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If your machine has a high resolution for the monitor then go with the GTX 460, it's faster. There's not much of a difference, so get the cheaper one if you don't plan on gaming at resolutions like 1920x1080.

My opinion might be a tad bias.... But I recommend a radeon card ;). But everything ghozt said answers what your asking for really...

Alright good deal! I really do appreciate the assistance guys! GTX 460 it is!

 

Also on a side note, glad to see Ghoztcraft is still running strong! It's been quite some time since I've last visited but I knew you guys would be the help I was looking for! I don't want to get sentimental, but I hope all is well with you XGhozt and Cripp!
