Graphics Card and Power Supply Upgrade, help!

[Trippey]

I am looking at upgrading my current GPU to something that has a bit more power (for BF3). Currently I have a 300 watt power supply and a x16 pci express graphics card. I need help finding something around the $200 price range for the GPU and the power supply. If you have any suggestions please let me know, thanks.

Antec NEO ECO 620W:

Better power supply than the cx600 and cheaper after rebate.

EVGA GTX 460 1GB:

Matches performance of a 6850:

Again, cheaper after rebate.

$45 + $130 after rebates.

On here... the 6850 is ranked 12th, and the GTX 460 is ranked 25th.

I don't disagree on the PSU.

That PSU is jank. It's an overrated 500W unit.

adding to the list of jank:

It says a GTX 580 is better than a 590 or 6990

I like their "value for money" rankings, though.

But they must have had their reasons for those rankings.

 

[reflex99]

they also say that the 1090T is equal to a 930...

When gaming, that random benchmark has no significance. Actual fps ingame is what matters.

And actual in-game fps will average 3-10 below the 6850. At $150 the 6850 is awesome. If you can't scrap up $20 more then =<$130 for a 460 is good. Also, the fact that it's only in the MIR is troublesome to me. I haven't gotten two of my MIR's from newegg :thumbdown:.

That average is definitely off. The two trade blows as well as the 460 overclocks better.

And I have received everyone of my mail in rebates. Filling them out fully and accurately is fairly straightforward.
