NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 768MB and 1GB Video Card Reviews

[Apoptosis]

Still waiting for that overclocking result...

For those who are asking if it'll play Crysis, it's all about Metro 2033 now. And from what I heard, Crysis is badly optimized.

Sorry been dealing with trying to replace the server... just did it tonight and it's 1:30am... The 72 hour server nightmare is over. I'll have OC numbers tomorrow and finish my SLI numbers for Friday.

The overclocking results are now up: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1360/14/

They are rather impressive. Check it out and let me know what you think. I was able to reach a rock solid 24/7 overclock of 868MHz on the core and 975MHz on the GDDR5 Memory. This put the shaders at an impressive 1735MHz. With an overclock like this the GTX 460 1GB was darn near the gaming performance of the GTX 470 and in benchmarks like 3DMark Vantage the overclocked GTX 460 now beats the GTX 470 that was stock clocked.

Seems like all the GTX 460 top out at that range. This makes the GTX 460 such a good buy it's not even funny lol

I honestly haven't read another other reviews, so I'm not sure how good this was. I did update to 258.96 drivers for the overclocking tests just to be using the latest drivers. The card hard locks on me when a 3D application starts above 872MHz... It's like I'm hitting a voltage wall or something.

Now I'm running a pair of EVGA SuperClocked GTX460's in SLI

I can't remember what other site tested for max overclocks but I recall reading most cards were in the 830~860MHz range, with the 1GB cards usually going for slower. On the ASUS card with voltage tweaks, I think they got 930MHz. I wish MSI would release the 1GB Cyclone already.

I have one on the way, so they are here in North America ;)

Is it the one your giving away?

[Apoptosis]

negative... As I've said for the past 8 years... We don't give away review samples as they are usually pre-production, don't have a warranty and have been taken apart, overclocked to the point they don't work and we need to keep them for legacy testing.

Cool! Now if only Amazon or Newegg would have it in stock...

I think this test Benchmark Reviews did speaks for itself.

I hope Nvidia pushes out a GTX 475 next, modifying the GF100 archtecture like they did for the 460, but using 448 cores! Just think of the speed, 800 mhz clock, 1600 mhz memory, with a 384bit bus and 448 cuda cores!

The SLI numbers I am seeing are great:

Impressive ****. Is that factory clocks on the GTX460 there? Is two $199 460s almost matching a $700 5970. Its just unreal.

The full SLI review will be up tomorrow.

So is BFG officially going out of business now? I read grumblings that indicated this but didn't see anything confirmed. I guess since none of the reviews on the web are a BFG product it must mean something. My stupid GTX 260 has a lifetime warranty. Lifetime of me or the company?

It gives an idea, but no it doesn't speak for itself. I find it meaningless.

Yes, they're gone.

haha i think he posted it in a "GTX470 only has 27 FPS in metro!" way
