    ja the 460's are akin to the 6600GT's and 8800GT's, massive performance for their price point, even more so in SLI

    I didn't check the date on your first post :P

    I have a GTX280 now and makes the capacitors on my PSU scream like 3 year old girls. Getting sick and tired of it now a days... So if the 460's are quiet enough i'l definitely upgrade.

    Use you GTX280 for dedicated physx. Will be a super cool setup.

    well my experience with sli is as follows.

    uninstall all gpu drivers, run driver cleaner if needed, install both cards, hook up sli bridge, power on, install drivers then enable sli from nvidia control panel.

    that's how did it, dunno if things changed recently

    also a 280 for physx is overkill...

    lulz the gt210 never even featured.

    it's a rebranded 9500 if i am not mistaken with dx10.1 added. not even good entry level card for gaming
