Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 graphics processor

We don't really have much interest in debating the finer points of product pricing and value when there's only ten bucks or so between the offerings. At present, street prices on the Radeon HD 5750 have dropped to $120 in certain cases, to greet the GTS 450. Whether a gap between these two products will remain in the long run is anyone's guess. We do know that we would unequivocally pay the extra in order to get the additional performance you will in stepping up from a stock GTS 450 to the Asus TOP card we tested—or from a Radeon HD 5750 to a 5770. Then again, we'd also recommend stretching whenever possible from the $140 cards up to the $170 GeForce GTX 460 768MB, which was the fastest product in our test by a good margin and, we think, represents the best value, too.
