News Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 Specs and Launch Date Leaked

insanely awesome nvidia, i am using GeForce 9800 GTX .

 

ugh... and im still on 8800GTS 640MB....

this thing better perform at least 20% better (from the 20% increase of 640 to 768MB) than my card...

AND

...priced no more than $199.

then its a deal. its a decent upgrade for me going to Dx11.

 

I admit I got it wrong and removed it. I heard 2-something and tried to work out the rest on little sleep. Others have reported 288 and an OEM part, but since I haven't had that confirmed by manufacturers here I won't put it in our article. I've heard nothing about the OEM side, but if that's the truth then good for them

 

I can't see how this card could possibly overclock to the level of a 480.

Even if it were true, NVIDIA wouldn't do it. Then they couldn't see their existing models.

Far be it from them to do the customer a favor.

 

But please, when you edit your articles: let us know what you removed/changed, so it's there for retrospect as well as a show of honest that you, lets say, made a mistake and admit it

 

Nvidia needs to get the price down to $179 USD and hopefully a Gtx 460 SLi set up would give you performance that is 15% better than a single Gtx 470 and you got a winner.

A Gtx 465 Sli set up is very nice and a Nvidia price drop would make GTx 465 sli the best choice.

can't wait to see the benchmarks of a GTX 460.

 

GTX465 SLI is hotter, noisier and slower than the much cheaper Radeon 5850 Crossfire. Yes, an nVidia price drop would make it look nicer but word is that nVidia are already selling their products at a loss (the cores are significantly more expensive and they're still rumoured to be at about a 10% yield).

We haven't seen it yet, don't judge until you know the performance and overclocking ability.

The GTX260-216 is actually about £145, depending on where you shop. Also, it's priced to clear - once they're gone, they're gone. It's like the Radeon 4890s on Scan a few months ago for £130 - great price, great product, MUCH faster than other cards for the similar price, but once they've been sold, no more are coming in.

 

Anyone remember the Geforce 5 and what a cock up that was?

 

I really gave Nvidia a chance this time around but every scenario has me buying a HD 5850 crossfire set up for my next rig.

The heat and noise can be fixed with custom cards but the high wattage for a Sli set up is too much for me as it adds $150 to $200 for a 1000 watt PSu vs 800 watt for a HD 5850 set up.

waiting to see a HD 5890 before I make my final decision.
