What is today's GTX460 1GB equivalent card? From either camp?

[VirtualLarry]

Just curious. Was selling a friend of mine a GTX460 that's a little over 2 years old. I want a point of reference comparison for what he would be paying today, for a new card of equivalent performance.

Kind of curious myself, too.

Let's say gaming performance, at 1080P, not CUDA performance, for now. (He's into gaming, I'm into DC with CUDA myself.)

For comparison:
7770 GHz edition $114.99, this one only has 128-bit memory, whereas the GTX460 1GB has 256-bit memory, so this would be much slower, right?

GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST $179.99

This one only has 192-bit GDDR5 memory, is it slower than a GTX460 1GB too? It has more CUDA cores though. Same price that I paid for the GTX460 1GB originally. Have price/performance of mid-range cards not improved in 2 years?

The HD 7770 and GTX 460 1GB trades blows

What games?

GTX 650ti, maybe? Radeon 7790 or 7850, perhaps?

The HD7770 is a little slower, the 650Ti is a little faster, and both are around the same price as a GTX460 two years ago, so the price/performance curve hasn't moved much.

7770/7790 and 650/650Ti, basically.

All of the above are decent cards.

GTX 650 Ti (non-boost) is pretty much equal in performance. Sits between an HD 6850 and HD 6870, and that's about where a stock GTX 460 1GB would be.

yes pretty much. overall the 650 ti is a wee bit faster than a 460.

 

[The Alias]

650ti or 7790 (7790 is faster and runs on less power iirc)

 

[Erenhardt]

Both 7770 and 650ti(non ti) are little faster than gtx460 and 6850.

Thats is true across most (if not all) recent titles

Forgot to mention, it's a Gigabyte WindForce GTX460 1GB OC card, so it's factory-set at 715Mhz, rather than 675. It will do 820Mhz no problem, at default voltage. Though one fan is failing, so I would hesitate to OC it in that condition.

I am quite sure that a highly OCed GTX 460 is on par with an HD 7850 except in heavy tessellation performance where the HD 7850 will pull ahead.

Considering the 7770 you linked is 90 dollars (after rebate) and not 115, I'd say 110 isn't a bad price for your friend. If you two want to be fair. If not, go find the most over priced card, and a bench that shows the cards being equal and sell your card off.

This wasn't intended to be a price check thread, and I've already offered it to my friend for $50. Partially because one of the two WindForce fans is slightly failing. Temps are still OK in general though with just one fan.

I was just curious, so that perhaps I could show him today's performance-equivalent cards, to show him he is getting a deal, and I could get my money.
