I can't believe my eVGA GTX 460 1GB!

[FalseChristian]

I've got it set to 1.087v and 900MHz core 4400 RAM and 1800MHz shaders and it runs all my games georgiously. It's gottta be faster that a stock 480 GTX, no?

 

[tigersty1e]

dude its faster than a 6870 x2!

haha

George would be proud.

The GTX480 is a beast. Your card is an amazing value but it still isn't as fast as the 480:

- Shader and vertex performance is still about 11% slower,
- memory bandwidth is 26% slower,
- pixel fill-rate is 17% slower,

@ 900 it's faster than both 470 and 5870 though!

haha

i've never seen you post before. did you change your handle recently?

Praiseth be thee GF104, for it has showeth us the way, the light and the love of overclocking.

No, but add another one (since you have a sli board) and it will smoke a gtx480 and beat up a 650$ 5970. Can't beat that for $400+ ha?

I'm still waiting for the 475 -- faster than the 480 at stock speed, while using 100 watts less and burning down 100% less houses!

(But seriously, it will hopefully be a very nice card so I can finally replace my 4870-512 from July 2008 with either a 475 or repriced 5870.)

You will be waiting quite a while. 🙁 A gtx475 will be on par with a 5870 give or take.

Yea I dont know why anyone with an SLI board would buy a 5970 when you can smoke it for ~ 2/3 of the price.

 

[bryanW1995]

maybe this theoretical person wanted a video card LAST YEAR and didn't have a whole lot of choice from the nvidia camp. kind of like if he's looking THIS fall as well, btw.

nvidia has gtx 460 and a bunch of crap right now that only sells when it is significantly better in the price/perf category.

Same reason why people bought a 295 or a 4870x2.

Just as long as you're not playing Metro 2033. The GTX 460 just can't do Tessellation like the GTX 470 & GTX 480.

My 4850 runs things Jimgeously. Not sure, but I think I win...

its not faster in ANY case.

 

[Tsavo]

its not faster in ANY case.

It is slightly more aerodynamic though! 😵

 

[nyker96]

I think my hd4850 runs my games really well too ... do I get a price now?

would you guys like to hear about the time we saw the loch ness monster?

 

[Rifter]

its not going to be as fast as a 480, but at 900 its trading blows with a 470 for sure. Im pretty happy with my 460 1 GB at 900/1000 but am still going SLI as soon as i can.

@riferut

damn, i'll wait for next month for me to buy one... i'm still saving money LOL!
