how high would i have to oc a gts 450 to reach similar levels of a stock gtx 460 768mb? i found an article somewhere a few weeks ago saying you have to oc the core, shader, and memory to a specific amount to reach similar performance on 1920x1080 to gtx 460 768.

10 differnt 450s reviewed, and compaired to other cards too like the 460 1gb and 460 768.

The palit has a 930mhz core/ 1860 MHz shader / 4000 MHz memory (fastest 450 in the review).
It usually scores around 2/3's of what a 460 768 does.
So its about ~33% slower or so in most things than a 460 768.

Even if you managed above 1000mhz on the core ect.... I just dont see how you can get 33% more performance out of a already factory overclocked card. Which basically means theres just no way a 450 can catch a 460 768.


*edit:
a 450 only has about 57 GB/s memory bandwidth.... a 5770 card is in the 76.8 GB/s range.
These cards usually compair against one another with the 450 loseing by abit... I think the memory bandwidth is a huge bottle neck on the 450s.... your chances of getting a 5770 to match a 460 768 are probably better than getting a 450 to do it. Even then... Id be skeptical of something like that ever happending.

How much are you willing to spend on liquid nitrogen?

@Blastingcap

You know anything above Watercooling + Tec (Peltier) is unreasonable :p
(most people are happy if they reach -40°C on stuff with watercooling+tec)

Doesnt Liquid Nitrogen cap out around −196°C ?
why not Liquid Helium and go for the -269 °C?

(you might need to extra cooling for that 450 to reach 460 performance lmao)

Yea, some reviews I have seen....puts the GTS 450 a hair slower than the GTS 250, which is basically a 9800GTX.
