I have a dg41rq board and q9400 processor

Its available on galaxy here's the link:http://galaxy.pk/main-forms/graphic-card-main.htm

Though I would suggest you should get GTX 460 Calibre edition from iameXtreme.net here the direct link http://www.iamextreme.net/category.php?CategoryId=10&SubCategoryId=19
Will cost ya 1k less.

the link i mentioned has 448 cuda cores but the galaxy one and the iamextreme have 336 cores aren't these both card different? also the sparkle card is very cheep comparing to evga, is it a trusted company

LOL. When did GTX 460 came with 448 Cuda Cores?

And the best available cards in Pakistan are Sparkle Calibre GTX 460 @ 23K and MSI Cyclone Edition GTX 460 @ 23K..

I'll reccomend you Sparkle..

@ennay, sparkle is trusted company, i am the owner of iamextreme.net, and im offering 12 months warranty on the cards compared to 10 months that you will get from galaxy with evga. all in all its a better deal. if the cards were'nt of good quality, i wouldve never given extra 2 months warranty on them. think about it

if i use this card with e7400 and intel dp35dpm would there be any bottlenecking issue? dp35dpm is with pcie x16 1.0 slot.

 

[NighteySenpai]

^^There might be slight bottlenecking.

which PSU are you using currently ?

 

[FaridAhmed]

which can b solved with overclocking your processor around some 3.4/3.5 GHZ

Its very cheap becuase Alienware is offering them cheap, international prices for all the 460s are the same give or take a few dollars.

E.g the eVGA GTX460 is for $200, and the Sparkle one is for $180 (if you dont count the discount) so prices internationally are the same. The $20 difference is becuase the Sparkle one is reference vs the eVGA one is factory OCed. The reference cards hardly have any price differences INTERNATIONALLY so dont think its cheap becuase its low quality

the 1.0 slot will affect performance and that intel board means you cant OC ur processor so yes you will NOT get max performance from the 460 with that board.

 

[FaridAhmed]

^and with an oc of 3.4?

It wont bottleneck when oc'ed to 3.4GHz

 

[Syavash]

yea but that 1.0slot will still decrease performance as the card gets limited bandwidth

 

[FaridAhmed]

a mere 2% decrease in performance from 2.0 to 1.0 Yay
