Hello, I have a Nvidia Gforce GTX 460 video card now but would like to upgrade. Is a Nvidia Geforce GT 630 much better, and if so would I notice much of a difference? Thanks everyone... :wave:

Right on delivery Diamonds have a 600%-1000% retail price markup, in store ... Shop wisely !
Big Box Stores 200% markup prices, vs Online bargains
My Desktop has a 300W power supply so I can only by a video card that has that maximum requirement (or put in a higher wattage power supply, and I have 2 left thumbs, and my only tools are a right handed "Jersey Screwdriver" : http://mcdn.toolking.com/catalog/product/m/7/m7020b_1.jpg).
In a Big Box store you can actually see the item, pick it up, and read the specs, (smell that brand new video card smell) and ask a newly hired sales associate (who has 5 days retail sales experience) what is the best video card, or best PC.
He'll tell you your Laptop is "Wiffee" capable, an has Turdo Boost Graphics
I bought a Galaxy GT 430 video card for @ $119 USD (+PA sales tax), where I could have bought it onlne for @ $49 USD http://hardocp.com/article/2010/10/11/galaxy_geforce_gt_430_video_card_review/

I don't know about AMD cards but be mindful that this card has been seller refurbished. I would not purchase this card myself as the seller has not tolld why it has been refurbished. What warranty is offered?

I have an AMD Athlon 64x2 duel core processor 3800+
Asus motherboard
Maxtor 6L200PL hard drive
3 different sticks of ram all 1 gig each. The first one just says DDR the second and third say DDR2.
Windows XP Home 32 bit
The reason is sometimes games have issues with graphics processors put together resulting in a lower benchmark than a single card.To enable us to know that, you need to post basic specs of your PC namely which CPU, Motherboard, Hard Drive and type of RAM - DDR 1, 2 or 3? What OS have you, Windows? Which version and is it 32 or 64 bit? On my second PC - a Packard Bell 6810 SLI bought in 2006 - I only had 2GB of RAM but I got great frame rates in Trainz Classics 3.
BTW I used to have a Palit GTX 460 a year and when I replaced it with a Radeon 6950 the improvement in performance was noticeable.
I am suspicious of the Passmark results. For one thing the prices quoted appear to assume you are buying it new from a high street shop. Secondly it has the GTX 690 ranked lower than some other cards which is nonsense.
