I recently picked up a pair of these for SLI in my gaming.rig to replace some GTX 260's that had died. The 460 and the 560 are just about the exact same card with the 460 being $50+ cheaper then the 560. Look it up. Both have 1g RAM, both have 336 processing cores, and both are 256bit memory. The 560 has a slighty higher texture fill rate but not enough to spend the extra cash. These cards in SLI run anything at max settings with full AA and AF maxed at well over 60fps in my system, most recently RAGE. I'm sure one card would perform admirably as well. For the price you can't really go wrong as its pretty close to Newegg. Also if you are a pc enthusiast and know your way around settings these things overclock pretty well too. Which brings me to my next point.....then fans are SO FRICKIN LOUD its ridiculous. If you leave them set to auto in your Nvidia CP, they are fine but if u manually set it to anything above 50% they are almost unbearable. Playing RAGE for 5hrs+ with the fans set to auto the cards dont go past 80c on a threshold of 105c so, they are fine. If your cards are more then a few years old and are considering an upgrade, take the plunge and pick this up. I'll also note that this particular model DOES NOT carry the normal Lifetime Warranty EVGA is so famous for. Instead these carry a 2 year warranty only.
I would recommend this to a friend

This card was a replacement for two NVIDIA GT 8500s running in SLI mode. The card was very easy to install and it performs better than the two GPUs that it replaces. For the money, this is a great card and a good value. Installing should be easily accomplished by even novices.
