So I've realized that it's time to update my graphics processing unit, as some games aren't working very well at all. My budget is $150 at most and at this point I'm leaning toward the GeForce GTX 460 (

What do you guys think? What's your GPU and how well does it work?

I personally have an ATI 5770 (Soon to be replaced by a GTX 670) and it runs everything I play just at around medium-high.

You're not getting a 690. Stop kidding yourself. Even if you could afford one, they are very rarely in stock anywhere.

I could afford it by selling old consoles I don't even use, and I could buy it on the internets.

Lizard and LeavinGA, do you two even know what a GTX 690 is? Leavin, guess what? Online stores are the ONLY places that sell them, and they are out of stock 99% of the time because of the low yields of the specific GPU's they use to make the GTX 690.

I highly doubt that you have a GTX 690. As per the standard rules of the internet, pics or it didn't happen.
