We have told you recently that NVIDIA would soon be releasing their GeForce GTX 460. This new graphics card will not be based on the same chip, the GF100, that powers the GeForce GTX 480 and 470. Instead this card will be using the GF104. The question that has been left unanswered, until now, is how would the new graphics card perform?
Anandtech as posted a two part review of the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460. In the first part, they look at the architecture of the new graphics card, and then run benchmarks on it. In the second part, they take a look at the different cards that the vendors are offering. So how does it perform? Take a look at the quote below for your answer.
Today NVIDIA is back in the saddle with something entirely new: GF104 and the GTX 460. The second member of the Fermi family is ready for its day in the sun, and in many ways it’s nothing like we expected. Designed from the start as a smaller chip than GF100, GF104 is the basis of the GTX 460 line of products which fix the GTX 465’s ills while delivering the GTX 465’s performance. It’s what the GTX 465 should have been, and it’s priced as low as $199. And as we’ll see, it’s the first NVIDIA card in a long time that we can give a glowing review for.
