what brand gfx you got and is it the SE version ?

also does it take 1-6pin connector or 2 ?

thinking of buying one or spend 100 more for the 570.

gotta check my PSU if i have 2+ 6pin connectors and or 1x 8pin

looks like the 480GTX is better then 570GTX

according to this

[AmIdYfReAk]

Zotac its the GTX460 1GB.

it takes two 6 pin connectors.

They had it on sale for $120 on boxing day, so i picked it up, and going to grab another soon to sli the bitch.

[SoM]

i've heard of them, but doesn't sound like a main stream company.

i'll just pick up the EVGA 460GTX or 2 for SLI for $140 each.

[SoM]

just had a look at the cables on my coolmax 600W PSU and it has only 1 6pin

i'll just have to use an adapter for the other second 6pin then, or get a better PSU

[AmIdYfReAk]

The cards usually come with one or two 6-pin to 4-pin molex adapters.

I think, as has been stated early in this thread, that my graphics card is now the bottleneck

Just got given a 260 GTX by a mate of mine and my score went up to 17716 so that was quite pleasing to say the least - free upgrade for the win!

nice man! those are decent cards!
