The 6850 and 460 1GB are both great choices. Flip a coin, really.

The advantages of the 460 are that it's almost guaranteed to hit over 800mhz (some much higher) if you overclock with stock voltage (which gets you into 6870/gtx 470 territory), it supports Physx and 3d vision, better folding@home performance.

The 6850 uses less power (1 6-pin connector), and if you get 2 in Crossfire the scaling is amazing.

What is the exact make and model of your PSU?

Both the 6850 and GTX 460 1GB are fully capable of running today's games at 1920x1080.

Lol @ the people calling it scams. its from iobit, a trusted company for pc tools, and for people who dont know how to shut off programs or dont want to, it makes sense to have a program like that...

him or me? right now like i said im playing Metro 2033 DX-11 advance DX-11 setting on very high and other settings on very high, Crysis on very high, the new COD Black Ops on very high, Arma 2 all on very high, all on 1920x1080 res. with no lag.

and i can minimize the games, and i can get on teh web open a lot of tabs. i can open Photoshop with a game minimzed. i can rip a DVD and burn a DVD in teh same time when im playing a game with no lag what so ever. all this with my Athlon II x4 OCed at 3.19GHz

at first i did OC with my stock cooler. but at idle my temp was 48*F-51*F and under load it was 68*C-74*C

so i got the Cooler Master hyper 212 cooler and man its great it brought my temps back down to 25*C-31*C on idle and under load 38*C-44*C

I'm gonna guess it's a scam and it's malware. If you want to suspend background processes just use ctrl+alt+del and do it yourself, you can also streamline windows with msconfig.markop2003
