UPDATE!

          (kinda)

So I'm finally going to go pick up the 2nd 460!

 

*crowd roars* (That crowd of 13 people, that is...[thanks guys!])

 

But yeah! I'm planning on taking a bunch of photos on & off, as well as where the PC will reside, and why I was kinda iffy not getting reversed ATX.

 

(You didn't witness that part though, that was through conversations with other LTT members)

I'll also be posting a case switch for my brother and family computer. 

                                                           Although those builds wouldn't be nearly as interesting as this one. 

                                                                           Because this log is totally interesting.

UPDATE!

 

I've gotten the second GPU, and it came with a Backplate!

        I was too excited last night, and I didn't notice I've lost the SLI bridge...

 

So I've ordered an ugly orangy one, because I've looked in everything, under everything, and I still can't find it.

I'll give you guys actual Photos with both GPUs when the SLI bridge arrives... :<

Those 460s are properly sexy. It would be so much better though if you had a good SLI bridge.

The 460s take the spotlight and the cherry. All they need now is a sexy EVGA SLI Bridge

I used to have a pair of 460's. they were an amazing card for the money, and great overclockers as well.

 

For the colour scheme. I would recommend a green and white. possibly some small purple accents as well if you want to put them in there. I was going to go green and white but I decided to go all black instead.

Might not be keeping this theme sadly...

 

  The Amazon seller gave an inaccurate listing of the Graphics Card, so seeing the backplate should have maybe been the first red flag.

I'm thinking whether or not I should keep this theme, but find another card, or to sell them both for a better card.

 

Thoughts on performance and convenience?

Is the 460 an SE?

Doesn't say that on NVIDIA Control Panel... :/

 

I googled some of the specs and it's something like the FTW, but it's heatsink's cover isn't orange.

how many cuda cores? the 460 has 336 cuda cores

Guys... Options?

Don't listen to them. They're coming from a performance perspective.

Both of them have 336 Cuda Cores.

Well they should be compatible. Have you updated the firmware on both of them?

I can't find the firmware update for the 01G-P3-1361-KR

                                                                (GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 FPB)

 

Could anybody look for it? I'm not having any luck.
