Hey all
I had hoped my new GTX 460 graphics card would have arrived Friday, so that I had the weekend to test things - well now it is here. It is not that big compared to my GTX 285 - good news for those without a really large PC case.
I have not had much time to test it and how much it can overclock, but I would say it performs about the same as my GTX 285, but it overclocks a whole lot better and when overclocked it is some what faster than my GTX 285 - which does not overclock as much as this GTX 460.
Here is a screen shot of the GTX 460 in GPU-Z - not bad numbers if you ask me. The default numbers are core clock: 675MHz shader clock: 700MHz and memory clock: 900MHz. I am currently running - core clock: 900MHz, shader clock: 900 MHz and memory clock: 950MHz.
I tested in Shift at London River (max graphics setting), trying to do lap times around 1.09 to 1.11 and I think the numbers speak for themselves. I do not know how much I can overclock the GTX 460, but I will try later today and max it out with added voltage.
I would say the GTX460 is about 10% faster than my GTX 285 when both are overclocked - not sure yet though. Here are the differences in fps when doing lap times at London River.
