    Upgrading my old computer.

    Hello all,

    Im thinking in upgrading my old pc's graphics card.

    It currently has a ATI hd radeon 4870 sapphire 2gigs card.

    im thinking in getting a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460.

    First question: Is it a nice upgrade? (a noticible one i mean)
    Second questyion: My power-supply is a corsair 450wtts, will i need to upgrade it?

    Kind Regards

    why a 460 seems like a lot to shell out for a last gen VGA but which 460 are you wanting i have seem some for 150 to 400 dollars US.

    is a solid choice as evga has awesome customer service and yes it would be an upgrade esp if your playing wow. If you do think about getting that card i would get a new psu probably a decent 550 or 600 watt should do just fine.

    another good thing about that card is it is not a monster like the 500 series so u know it will fit in your current case.
