Which of these graphics cards actually holds up better?
Nvidia GTX 460 Hawk or the Nvidia GTX 285 BFG OC?

Casey Long2 said:What else is left in this system? I mean, let me be blunt: you aren't going to get any real value out of a $200 graphics card here. Anything stronger than a GTS450, let alone a GTX460, is just going to be wasted on this setup...
Hardware:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo dual core
Motherboard: ASUS Motherboard
PSU: Power Line 530W
Audio: Integrated
Drive: 160 GB
GPU: Radeon X1550 (absolute garbage)
RAM: 2x 1GB and 1x 2GB (totaling 3.25 GB on Windows XP SP3)
Software: Windows XP SP3
PS
Before this, I was running a GeForce 9800 GT Zotac—which was actually a great card, but I just wanted something more powerful.
As for the processor, I was planning on picking up an AMD chip later$333 this summer.

Hi there, please excuse me if I’ve stumbled into the wrong thread; I actually just registered about three minutes ago because I am genuinely curious about which graphics card would be the most logical choice for my current setup. Given that I'm running an Intel Core 2 Duo dual-core processor paired with a 530W power supply, I was wondering what you all might recommend within a budget of roughly $0.83.
