nVidia mid-range match-up, what should you buy?

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7.  This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. Testing was done with the performance presets.

The positions have not changed in 3DMark Vantage

.

Already a pattern is forming. Percentage-wise, the gaps between the 450, 460 and 550 options remain very similar. It will be interesting to see if these gaps change with in-game testing.

  1. The £115 card seems like a good buy for the money. the other ones at 150 quid are just stupid.

  5. Their pricing is wrong, the lower end model is good value, would like to see overclocking etc and power consumption results. very limited review.

  6. I read a lot of reviews about this card, and while its the price I normally buy into, the card hasn’t got me excited at all. Im holding onto my 450 until the next generation.

  8. At 145 its a waste of money, but at 115 its viable. thats such a huge price difference, seems way out. at 115 its more competitive.
