Bought a MSI GTX 460 Cyclone OC 1GB from SMC International @13.6k (all inclusive). Here are a few details (guess you all know about these...but still
):
A comparison of size/length between the GTX460 and the 8800GTX I previously had.

Idle temp: I must say that the cooler works really great. Even in my non-ac room the card idles around 40-42 degrees (where as the 8800GTX would be
60 degrees ).

Load temp: Here's the temperature after running 3DMark Vantage once and Just Cause 2 benchmark twice (it shot higher than that when I gamed for 2 hours last night, but never went over 59 degrees,
at load).

3DMark Vantage: Wish I could score more, but need a good quad core procy for that I guess. But still it's a great improvement over my previous score with the 8800GTX (
P7900...almost half). Also, don't have a HD monitor, so this would be the highest preset for me. Checked ORB for comparison, a system with same config as mine scored about 1k less than mine, guess he had a stock GTX460.

Just Cause 2: The only game I have installed right now. This is the benchmark "Desert Sunrise" ran with highest detail (16x AA/AF...no VSync), but again @1280x1024 (max res. of my old 17" flat monitor).

I hope the card is performing as it's supposed to.
