Re: Palit GTX460 1GB GDDR5 Sonic Edition - The King is Here!!
Yes sure but you know how easy will it be to OC any of the GTX 460 cards to 800Mh w/o even 5 degrees increase in temp
Also prob is with Palit warranty of 2 years where Zotac is 5 years
Still Palit cards are usually good and this one is shorter than even the reference PCB
Galaxy GTX 460 768MB at just 11.5k
http://www.techtree.com/India/Reviews/Galaxy_GTX460_GC_Edition/551-112297-537-15.html
Techtree prices usually are higher. So I expect arnd 11k or so max in the market . Awesome price

Zotac does not have 5 Yrs Warranty its just an illusion that they are creating to lure customers.. they are not stating the whole fact upfront.
AFAIK It says 2 + 3 Yrs - Which actually means they will give you 2 Yrs Warranty in India and the Next 3 Yrs you will have to send the Card somewhere outside India to claim the Warranty and how it is to be done no one knows yet as Zotac is a fairly new Brand launched about say 1-2 Yrs Ago. Maybe sometime later you will see threads about how the warranty works n all.
If they give 5 yrs i don't have any personal problem with Zotac or any other brand.
I don't have any problem with Zotac i will also sell the same one its in stock if my customers asks me for that.
Right now Palit is there in Stock and the Clock Speeds are better than the Zotac one which is not there in Stock.
And abt the 768 MB wether it'l sell for 11.5k, 10k, 8k i don't care about the price if it will sell for that much i will sell it too... if my customers asks for it i will check with my suppliers and reply them.

Re: Palit GTX460 1GB GDDR5 Sonic Edition - The King is Here!!
Ya you should just talk to TAG guys and get the TE members the best prices for it. And ya what stock and OC are you talking abt....25 Mhz in Core clocks :rofl:...even noobs can OC that much. Pre overclocked cards are just waste of money most of the times ! The Palit Sonic Platimun Edition of GTX 460 1GB which is really oced well to the max .
Also Zotac is a sister brand of Sapphire's parent company PC Partner and is at least better than the most dying card in India ie Palit. Also Palit is the cheapest brand always. And ya for claiming the rest 3 yrs u gotta register the card online. The card has to be sent to Zotac main office in Mumbai and not internationally AFAIK.

Re: Palit GTX460 1GB GDDR5 Sonic Edition - The King is Here!!
^^Don't tell me how many noobs can do what i have seen many more than you. TAG i am sure u donno how credible they are.
With regards to Zotac i don't have any problem with it. But none of you know where the hell to give the Card after 2 Yrs all that u people can say is Zotac India where is that Zotac India's office.
But i don't understand what problem you have with me asking questions about it i guess u just wanna crap my thread as always.
But anyways from a customer's POV i wanna know the facts crystal clear before hand don't u think tatz the least u should know before buying a High end Card.
And i donno y u people have a problem with that.

Re: Palit GTX460 1GB GDDR5 Sonic Edition - The King is Here!!
Yes they are talking abt the Sonic Platinum but from the looks of it both are exactly same PCB and built ...just that the Sonic have higher clocks. If the sonic with higher clocks is missing the VRM heatsink then I guess this vanilla version also wont have the VRM heatsink
You can confirm if the card you are selling have a VRM heatsink or not.
And about the bios what all it says they have just modified the fan profile which most of the users here in TE can do it themselves But overclockability of the cards will severely be effected in case there is no VRM heatsinks. I dont know why Palit wanted to save that $1 !
The reference cards like the Zotac comes with reference design and full blown cooler where air is thrown out of the case. Also guys check out the VRMs used in both the cards. The VRM area seems to be cheaply built on the Palit. May be Vandal can comment more on that.

Re: Palit GTX460 1GB GDDR5 Sonic Edition - The King is Here!!
The guy who tested the new BIOS did not have VRM heat sink on his Card and still he posted Positive about it. So i guess there is nothing wrong with the Cards with or without it.
As far as your Overclocking goes the Palit Card is already an Factory Overclocked version and should there be any problem overclocking it or not that we'l see once someone does the OC and posts back i think no one should assume the Capability without actually seeing how it does.
