GTX460 SLi overclocked, mated and put in context

While Zardon populates his results spreadsheet the way rabbits populate the fields around Watership Down, we’ve decided to take a much more relaxed and informal approach to testing the way this new solution from nVidia will scale with time. We’re checking for one thing only.Does GTX460 present you with an intelligent way to choose Fermi now and in the future?

eVGA GTX 460 768MB Superclocked review @ KitGuru

Today we see the release of the GTX 460, the baby brother in the Fermi series. nVidia says that it consumes less power, generates less heatand has been priced to tackle the HD5830. They are targeting the only card in the 5 series range which (KitGuru feels) is underpowered andoverpriced. From the results we’ve seen in the KitGuru Labs, nVidia can afford to be a bit more confident than that. Quite a bit more.

Palit GTX 460 Sonic Platinum & Inno3D GeForce GTX 460

Having written numerous articles comparing the current breed of GPUs from Nvidia and ATI, you likely know the drill by now. Nvidia finally readied Fermi-based graphics cards last March and while the release saw them take the performance crown back home, the battle didn't go without casualties. In fact, even today we would argue Nvidia doesn't have a completely dominant product because ATI, in most instances, is still offering better value.

What Nvidia desperately needed is a new graphics card that could provide serious value, and they may finally be up to task with the release of the GeForce GTX 460. Rumors have been circulating for weeks now, and if you cared enough to pay attention then you know this GPU is based on a revised, cut-down version of the original Fermi chip, code-named GF104.

Today we are reviewing two retail offerings based on the new GeForce GTX 460 GPU. From Palit we received the 1GB version of the card and from Inno3D we have the 768MB variant. Besides memory capacity, these differ in memory bus width and of course, price. The least expensive version is expected to sell for just $200, and perhaps most importantly, the GF104 chip revision is meant to be a much more efficient number cruncher. With a TDP rating of just 160 watts for the 1GB version, if this number hold true it would make the GTX 460 more power conscious than the Radeon HD 5830.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Debut: ZOTAC, EVGA @ HotHardware.com

Today, NVIDIA is unleashing another Fermi-architecture based graphics card, but unlike its predecessors, this one isn't based on the GF100 GPU. The GeForce GTX 460 we'll be showing you today is actually based on a new-class of Fermi-based GPU, the GF104. The GF104 borrows heavily from the GF100 design, but it features fewer CUDA cores and is pared down in a couple of other areas as well. In fact, it features over a billion fewer transistors than the GF100. Overall though, as you'll see on the pages ahead, the new GeForce GTX 460 is surprisingly potent given its relatively affordable price point and scaled down GPU...

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Review - GF104 and the budget Fermi

NVIDIA has been attempt to gain ground back from AMD in the enthusiast PC gaming space since the Radeon 5000-series really put them on their heels. The release of the GTX 480/470/465 cards were one step in the right directions and the release of NVIDIA Surround was another. The new GTX 460 introduces the first new GPU redesign with the GF104 and offers top value for your $199. I think a lot of gamers are going to fall for this card!

NVIDIA's new GF104 GPU might just be the savior the company was looking for as it is delivering in all the areas that are required for a successful mainstream graphics product. The GeForce GTX 460 is faster than the Radeon HD 5830, costs about the same, is just as power efficient and has room for overclocking. If you are looking for a new graphics card in the $200 budget, NVIDIA looks to have the best solution available!

GeForce GTX 460 review (roundup with 8 cards)

We test and review the GeForce GTX 460, not one of them .. eight in total. NVIDIA today launches both a 768MB and 1024MB version of this all new DirectX 11 compatible product series. Where there was a lot to discuss with the GF100 based GPUs, the all new chip that empowers the new cards really does it's job well. it offers good value for money, it not at all running hot, it's silent and comes with an okay power consumption as well.

In this first roundup we'll look at eVGA's regular 768MB and SuperClocked 768MB editions, MSI's 768MB Cyclone edition, Gigabyte's 768MB OC edition, Palit's Sonic Platinum 1024MB edition and Zotac's 1024MB regular edition. All in all we've been busy benchmarking our guts off... that's six cards plus two reference GeForce GTX 460 768MB and 1024MB graphics cards.

NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 460: The $200 King

At the very end of May we saw NVIDIA’s first effort to expand Fermi beyond the $300 space with the GeForce GTX 465, a further cut-down GF100 core priced at launch at $279. Unfortunately for NVIDIA, it wasn’t even a lackluster launch – while GF100 performs quite well with most of its functional units enabled (i.e. GTX 480), disabling additional units isn’t doing the GPU any favors. Furthermore disabling those units does little to temper the chip’s high power draw – something that’s only reasonable on the higher-end cards – resulting in a card that ate a lot of power while losing to AMD’s Radeon HD 5850.

In short, the GTX 465 is a lesson of how you can only cut down GPU so far. NVIDIA went too far, and ended up with a part that had GTX 285 performance and GTX 470 power consumption.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 460: The Fermi We Were Waiting For

After seeing three cards (GTX 480, 470, and 465) center on the GF100 graphics processor, we finally have a true derivative part called GF104. Nvidia could have very well cut GF100 in half for the GeForce GTX 460 launch, yielding a part with 256 shader cores, 32 texture units, and a 192-bit memory bus. It would have performed well enough, and it would have been an evolutionary step down from the GTX 465 sporting 352 shaders, 44 texture units, and a 256-bit bus. Such a part would have had to go up against AMD’s Radeon HD 5770 at best, though.

Instead, we’re looking at a re-designed chip that employs the Fermi architecture, but sports a different arrangement of resources and about two-thirds of GF100’s complexity—making it a smaller, cooler-running, and believe it or not, more functional (that’s right—this new GPU includes an updated video processor capable of bitstreaming Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks from Blu-ray movies). This is a second, much more potent stab at the Radeon HD 5830.
