The GTX460 would be better if you could spare the extra cash.

I have the 460 and I can report that I've had no major problems so far. Aside from the HDMI being all funky, but that may be my cable. :shrug:

The 275, he clearly stated it. Sorry if that sounded butt-hole like.

It's best to remove all doubt about what you're talking about before you talk about it I find.

It's a decent card. Whether or not it was a good purchase depends on how much you paid for it.

The price I'm looking at for the 275 is $210.Pretty good fro the price, I'd say.

I'm fairly sure that's about twice what it's worth these days. The 2__ series is from a few years ago.

I'm fairly sure that's about twice what it's worth these days (new). The 2__ series is from a few years ago.

Well then it's worth the price for sure. I'd still go for the 460 though.

bought it for like 180, so im guessing i bought it to high?

damn, i could have gotten a better card for less money

The GTX 275 is fine. Its a generation old (came out in 2009) but is still quite capable. For a comparison with more modern cards it sits between the GTX 460 768MB and GTX 460 1GB in performance. The only bad thing about it is power consumption. It uses quite a bit more given its performance than the current generation and produces more heat. Plus its only a DX10 card.

To sum it up. Its an "O.K." card now. It was a good card two years ago.

Well if you bought it recently you can always take it back and swap it out for a different card.

I'd say you bought it too high unfortunately. The GTX 460 1GB could be had for $150 and beats the GTX 275:

For close to $180, could've gotten a Radeon 6870 or GTX 560...and those cards beat a GTX 460:

The GTX 275 should've been about a $110card if it was new. Used, one can get it for around $80 these days. Return it if you can.
