Even though it isn’t the highest performing GTX 460 we have looked at, the 768MB version of the Cyclone is a good card with a simply incredible heatsink.

Bought the other day to upgrade the wife's computer from a evga 260 sc++ that burnt out. Fits the case/board better than the huge 260 and runs almost as nicely as my MSI GTX 460 Talon Hawk. This card out performs the 550TI that costs about the same so if you are looking for a decent card on the cheap this is the card to get.

This card is simply amazing. I upgraded from an ATI HD4850, and this card kills it. So happy to go back to Nvidia, their cards are bar-none. This is my first MSI card, and I am very pleased, it is built very well. The cyclone cooler is the real kicker, it runs this card at 50°C under full load overclocked! I would highly recommend this card.

Probably almost everyone and their little sister owns this card. This card is very popular because it's so cheap yet gives playable framerate. Overclocking however did not live up to expectations. My card cannot do over 800mhz core / 1850mhz vram. Anything above that will cause crashes.

Provides good performance/price ratio. Got this on sale with MIR. MIR will be a pain to deal with. This cards comes overclocked. Had to tinker with Nvidia's control panel for a bit to change/underclock this card to nvidia's reference clock speed.

Ordered this 2 month ago when it was in special offer and it was a good price for the performance it give me when i play game like Crysis 2 and other game. This card has a good fps when i play and i didn't get any bug until now.
Came with free game but i didn't try them.

This is definitely a good mid-range card that will play current games and future gaming such as Battlefield 3 with no issues on a 1650x monitor. Comes with a free game, so that is always a plus! :D

Great card for a mid gaming system. Does the job well and is very cost effective. Takes 2 6pin pci power connectors which i didnt realize because it was a last minute upgrade but luckily my psu had them. Definitely worth it.
