Are you using it as an external monitor, or cloning?

Well its just been launched, and whilst it may not be everyones cup of tea, for a card on a budget its worth considering. MSI's flavour comes with a low profile dual fan design, perfect for fitting into media HTPC builds where space is at a premium. HDMI 1.4a ready means this card will pump...

anyone got any Q's on this model, just fire away ;)

As I said its a limited edition, the Hawk currently on offer on OCUK is the model which will continue long term....

A pimped version of the Hawk is on the cards yes, however expect it to be a fair bit more expensive :D It will also be a limited edition, with limited stock.

Nice entry. PM me your address :D

nice try :D

'an msi card' ? Send back to your place of purchase, I would hope OCUK :cool:

I know the feeling :) It does work out good value when you get to the top end of products, however the cost is already really high then (at least as a cost per frame goes) :D Lets say for the next 5 people, anyone posting interesting unboxing, or videos in this thread will get a freebie pack...

Sorry to hear that... Take some piccies or a video of the unboxing of your new card when it arrives and I will send you a tshirt and a few goodies to make up for the lost day of gaming. I am sure you will have no problems with the new one :D

Point understood. When cherry picking the GPU, where do you draw the line though? The higher the line, the more expensive the card. The hawk GPU's are cherry picked to the point they are guaranteed stable at 780MHZ under any conditions. For this it is likely they have been verified to...

There is no guarantee that cards shipped now will have the bundle, as the vast majority of stock is without it which is why the game has been removed from the image. Cross your fingers :D

At current price you save your self less than £10 between this and the cheapest... which arguably worth it for the cooler alone... surely? :rolleyes: P.S - If the GPU's were cherry picked, the stock clock would be much higher, and so would the cost of the card, pretty much exponentially.

Will be made for the foreseeable future. The N460GTX Hawk is the second in the series, following the R5770 Hawk. There will be more in future, and maybe even some limited edition versions with higher clock speeds. On top of the range products, we have the Lightning range. Currently the R5870...

Where are you downloading from? http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm should be the latest version. Every new card that comes out now requires an update, and being their have been many new cards recently it means that there are a lot of different versions knocking about. We...

OK. In response to this, the voltage readings you see from the multimeter are correct, and the reason they are high is indeed due to the location of the V-check points. There is a certain amount of Vdrop between the V-check points and the actual GPU and memory. This means the voltage if...

Np. With your overclocking I would have thought that your area of Scotland would be a few degrees warmer ;)

Toasty ! :cool: Did you have the fan RPM maxed out? Also you open or closed case?

I am still checking into your post, and hopefully will be able to update. I don't think you have anything to worry about in terms of the voltages though, I think it is indeed simply a case of what component(s) the voltage is being read across and the load that those components are under when...

OK, so you have read all about the N460GTX Cyclone, love the cooler but cant afford the price. There is a lower cost alternative which has launched today called the N450GTS Cyclone OC. :p The card is similar to the GTX460 but with lower clock speeds. The 'Cyclone OC' version comes...
