    For the cost of a pair of these, you're better of with a 6970 2gb. Damn kids these days, spouting their mouth off on the internet thinking they're tough shit.
    If low is acceptable for you then go for it.

    You're exactly right, the 460 is not a card you should 5 box with while using multisampling. In fact, I
    wouldn't even use multisampling at all while multiboxing on my GTX 580 3GB.

    Just to clarify, although the 6950/70's are better then the 460; if the choice is 460 2G vs. 6970 1G I would still go with the 460, for multiboxing purposes.

    If its 2G vs. 2G then the 6950 or 6970 are superior.

    I agree with you there on the multi sampling, i ONLY do multi sampling on the main toon, the tank or the main prefered lead.

    Nope, never used it, but I was impressed at its price/performance/heat output compared to other iterations of the then quite new Fermi architecture.




    Oh, and I ran 5 clients at 3240x1920 on a SINGLE 5850 1GB with acceptable performance. Also, with two cards, instead of running the clients in 1/4 split config you should have run them in a 2/3, allowing more consistent high performance overall. It's almost a "why bother" situation in my opinion if you run a 1/4 split.

    While multiboxing, I see little to no reason to have multisampling, simply because it's a drain on system resources and jaggies don't really bother me.



    Hah, I win!
