I want to buy the coolest 2gb GTX 460, need your suggestion in this regard.
I am not a pro gamer but want to use it for GPU Rendering in VRAY. so it can be run on 100% load for days. That is why i need a coolest card with 2GB memory.

I did not see GTX460 2 GB locally
you may consider GTS 450 2 GB @ 16k, listed at Galaxy, you can ask Media In to bring it
OR, ATI 6950 2 GB @ 28.5k, at Galaxy,

Only the Palit and Zotac variants of the 460 come with 2GB Memory and both aren't available here. The coolest one you can go for is the Calibre available at IMX for 21.5K...

Or as Voodoo suggested, If you can add a few extra bucks then go for 6950 2GB and unlock it to 6970.. ; )

any chances for 2gb in near future? i cant go for ati due to lack of CUDA. what will be the performance difference of 2gb 450 vs 1 gb 460.

If you are looking for CUDA then CUDA cores mattter a lot, go with GTX 460, it will help you a lot with its 336 CUDA core.

As a general advice stay away from Reagent Computers in Saddar.

There is no point in spending too much on 460. 2GB is only needed where you use extremely high resolution textures. Its mainly used for game development where uncompressed textures need to be in memory when working on a game engine. In actual gameplay its not much of a requirement.

Calibre GTX 460 1GB is the best you can get here with great price to performance ratio.

Otherwise if you have money you can either buy a 560 Ti or a 6950.

ATI or Nvidia . Its personal preference, really. But you will need a Physics Card with ATI such as 9600 GT to get full performance.

Or you can go for GTX 470 from IMX, Costs 23K and feature 1.3GIGs of memory.

Only one remains in stock so grab it.. :D http://www.iamextreme.net/category.php?CategoryId=10&SubCategoryId=18

^ but i think 470 is a much hotter card and consume more electricity. I have to run the card under 100% load for may be 72 hours. Also i am on Commercial Electricity

Yes i know about those regent guys very well. I am looking 2gb for future point of view as vray rt GPU requires more GPU ram to render big scenes. cant go for ATI as Stream has very limited software developer support.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
