Nice find.
Pretty hot to me.

the gtx 460 is an animal. i bought an evga gtx 460 vanilla and clocked it to 860 core and 2000 memory handily on the stock fan. I am sure that it can be clocked more, but just wanted to see if I could get over FTW clocks stable.

I just watched a video comparison of various cards including the gts450, solo and in sli, by Linus from NCIX http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB_CUQU5Z68 the conclusion is you can sli the 450 and for ~$200 you have performance approaching a 5870.

Just a warning; the Asus rebate states "Offer only valid in the US (including Puerto Rico). Rebate Payable in US Dollars for US Residents." I've had enough trouble with 4MyRebate when I've submitted legit rebates, this would give them a good reason to deny you.

I think you should be able to use this One:

Asus VGA rebates for November

BTW.. I did order Asus model from Amazon.ca (same price), I just have to wait longer.... Too bad amazon.ca doesn't PM. I went with amazon.ca because I had some coupons...

Asus TOP GTX460 768mb

The only thing I hate is waiting

PNY GTS 450 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 - $102 + 11 ship - $10mir
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16814133343

This card should be PMable at NCIX for pick up to save shipping. They have a $15 rebate on it though, so best case they may PM at $102 less $15 for $87. They also have the $10 gift card free shipping promotion for those who need delivery. There is also supposed to be a free download of Hawx 2 with GTX460 and GTS 450 cards from Nvidia.

NCIX will NOT PM + HAWX2 coupon. You can ask for PM, but you need to delete the free HAWX2 from your cart.

crazy high, you mean

I was getting at trying for an in store PM, rather than online, and that maybe they might still include it, person to person, if there is no great net cost for it to them. I didn't really explain in detail, so my bad. Even online I would add a comment asking for it, who knows? Looks like it's OOS at Newegg anyway.

Am I ok with a 450w psu for a 460-any considerations-don't want to cause heat or noise with overclocking-thx

Depends on the psu, although the card will probably ask for a 500w psu, if yours is not a generic brand but one that actually can handle 450w continuous you might be fine.
