GPU and res question..

Hi guys, im set on getting a gtx 460 for my birthday, now i game at 1360x768, which isn't exactly a high res, but would a gtx 460 1gb be the best or would you recommend the 768mb versions?

Are you sure this is not a laptop we are talking about here?GazaAli

well both are massive overkill for your res, but if you are planning on upgrading your monitor soon to a 1080p one then the 1gb 460 is the go.angrules23

If I were you (assuming that you pick up the new card), I would seriously consider picking up a 23" full 1920 X 1080 monitor around black Friday. You can grab a pretty decent one for ~$100 and I honestly think you would enjoy it much more.

[QUOTE="sn4k3_64"] No, my monitor is fine? I just want to know which version would be better, although the 1gb version isnt that much more expensive, im not sure whether i need it or notsn4k3_64

Well I didn't know your monitor was that size, but if its clear as day to you then I wouldn't worry. I was referring to 23" monitors. (~$100)

I'd say get the 460, and the 1gb version if you can afford it. You will be able to play games at very high settings for a fair while with that card.angrules23

Upgrading will mean you'll need more GPU power and need to upgrade more often. So if you're fine with your current monitor/tv don't bother.

Yeah thats true, its just whether or not i want to get rid of it to make more use of a gtx 460 (if i get it)

Get the GTX 460 and upgrade the Monitor Later when you have the money. I don't know why every bodies giving you so much hassle about what size monitor they think you should get. If your happy with it keep it
