wtf. Bitcoin on GPU?
even if you get free power, that is not worth it
go for Litecoin or DOGE
Topic: BitMinter better output graphic card? (Read 1000 times)
While the 460 might be a decent gaming card, ATI/AMD/Radeon cards are far superior from a mining standpoint. I'm not familiar with the tweaks using something like CUDAMiner (a miner specifically for Nvidia cards) might offer but you're never going to turn a profit thrashing that card for BTC because of power costs.
My Sapphire 7870 got to 410 Mhs with minimal tweaking, and I think 7970 cards are capable of 650 or so. Still not going to be even remotely worth mining BTC though after you factor in power costs and look at the ever rising difficulty. If you want to mine with your graphics card I'd recommend looking into an AMD card (or several!) and Scrypt mining (Litecoin, Dogecoin, etc) and then converting those into BTC. BTC minng has been an ASIC game for probably 8 months at this point.
The Bitminter client is awesome, easy to use, and recognizes a lot of ASIC devices. Its actually what I use, and if you end up with some ASIC hardware and keep mining BTC I'd recommend you stick with the pool. Dr H is really on top of things for us! Good luck

Testing my PC if I can get the miners to fast quick...
I'm on Windows 8 64bit
8gb ram
i5 3330 3ghz x4
GTX 460 (I don't know how it works, But I think if I get better graphic card for gaming the better the output I will get for BitMinter?)
This is what I'm getting right now

Radeon HD 7870 maybe?
Got my eye set on the 3GB XFX Radeon HD 7970 right now under £200
