looks pretty good. Nvidia live again in the mainstream performance sector, could be a huge hit. 768mb version about as fast as the radeon 5830. Seen them for 150 pounds. You should be able to tweak volts on these too, seen them with prety big core overclocks but none yet on shaders. Be interesting to see what sort of shader OC they can manage. |

just spooted a test of the galaxy Oc versions. gone from stock clocks of 675 core 1350 shaders and 900 memory to a pretty huge 870/1740/1100. gains nearly 25 percent extra performance.........

over 40 percent from the stock cards when they are overclocked  this is gonna be a great card if you like overclocking you rgraphics

cooling? noise? power consumption?

all pretty good. the 768mb uses no more than a 5830 its rivaled with at load, and with the stock cooler and speeds it seems very cool. surprisingly so. seen tests where the 5770 runs a lot hotter! Heavily overclocked it doesnt worry it either. Very quiet.

With that monster OC it seems peak load temps were still below 90 degrees.  seriously impressive when it comes to heat reference cooler or not

 Its a cracker jay. anyone looking for 150 pound performance this is the one to get as of now. See if ati respond with price cuts

Should I consider it an upgrade to my saphier hd radeon 4850 512mb which is getting unfit for newer games ? I m looking upgrading my gfx

Its not a bad upgrade at all but not a massive one. If you sold the 4850 and got maybe 70 pounds for it then it would be a reasonable choice, you would probably gain about 40 percent on many games depending on resolution. Its the best thing you can get without stumping out for a 5850, and it you are into overclocking, then its definitely value

a few of the benches i have seen show the 460 to be near 5850 performance for 50 quid less , if ati drop the price of the 5850 though . nvidia will have some tough competition .

gota feel sorry for anyone that bought a gtx465 .

sli performance is preety good also , no doubt will imprve with driver updates

yeah the 1Gb version isnt exactly a mile away from the 5850, except no 5850 can overclock like this thing. they are absolute monsters, not seen a GPU as fast as this already that can overclock as well as it does.

7900GS wasnt bad but honestly you can push 30 percent on the core and shader clocks which is pretty epic

the palit 1gb 460 is the best of the bunch apparently , loadsa reviews floating round the net , can match a 470 with a little overclock .

Without adjusting the GPU voltage in any way, the gtx is able to boost the clock frequency from 675MHz to 865MHz.

thats some overclock for a cheap card .

At its factory overclocked speeds, we found the Palit GTX 460 Sonic Platinum to deliver roughly the same performance of the GeForce GTX 470 which costs considerably more, consumes more power and is louder. Moreover, when compared to the Radeon HD 5850, the GTX 460 Sonic Platinum was more often than not the faster board, all while saving you a hundred bucks in the process.

They all seem to manage 200mhz on the core and another 400 on the shaders, about 30 percent. Its massive for an already performance card. You are lucky if you get 15 percent on most cards like this
