So curently my build is a amd fx 6300, 8gb ram, and nvidia 9800gt. However i can get a gtx 460 (possibly) for $60. I know this is much better than my 9800gt, but by how much? Also would it be worth it to buy it, or should i just continue to save for a better gpu. Also teh 460 would only be temporary for a few months.

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

The GTX 460 would be significantly better than a 9800 GT and for only $60 that is cool

It would be quite a bit better than a 9800GT but a far smarter option would be to wait and buy a modern card.
