What video Card to keep

[Snake Plissken]

I just bought a new rig and it came with a Nvidia GT520. My old rig had a GTX460 and I cant seem to find any side by side comparison charts to help me out. Anyone have any history with a GT 520?

Hey,

I have a 6970 at the moment, I'm looking at upgrading to a 680, or maybe a 690 if they are out soon enough... as for the 520, I think that it would struggle in highend games I have a 525M in my laptop though and it handles some games that I like to just mess around on such as Dungeon Defenders and Space Pirates v Zombies

Personally I would stick with the 460, its a great card, can get a cheap second hand one to Sli, comparison of a 520 v 460:

The 520 is the lower end card. Keep the 460 for sure.

the difference between then 500 and 400 range was very small

like suppporting DX 10.1 instead of DX10 (this isnt the actual difference just an example)

so in clock speed and every day gaming the 460 will far surpass the lower end 500

UNLESS you are doing something the 500 series cards were designed specifically for, they really arent an upgrade
