They're due in on or around Monday 16th August. We will probably list the card to order towards the end of this week :)

A single 2GB GTX 460 will not be better than 2 768MB/1GB in SLI, it's only the memory which will be bigger and not the GPU itself.

We haven't had chance to benchmark the card yet, but I'm sure it will be a popular choice :)

Yea, it will, but as of yet, nothing will benifit really from it, unless its 3d games etc, maybe Microsoft flight sim X - 1GB video memory is still more than enough :)

i still dont understand why nvidia released such videocard. better to have gtx460 1gb sli than 2gb sli, it wont change the resolution or the gaming performace.

....pokes around inside his case to see where he can fit it, but reckons if he did he'd have to buys his own power supply board to go with it if added to his current rig :p lol

What makes you say that? The 2GB is also stock overclocked. IMO, The extra gig is overkill, and SLI makes 4gig even more overkill. But the overclock will make a slight difference.

The price difference does make it kind of worth it too. It's a very slight difference, whereas the difference between different models can sometimes be up to £100 different, whereas here it's about £20-30 different.

And you dont get 4gb of usable video memory in SLi, just 2gb, its similar to raid mirror in the way it works :) - as said before, good for 3d gaming and thats about it :)

SLI has really come of age with the fermi series of cards.

Sure it is more prone to niggles than a standalone card but with near 90% scaling with the Fermi's its worth it more now than ever before.
