The NVidia GeForce GTX460 has really become popular for it’s low price and stunning performance, but with so many out there how do you choose between them? Toms Hardware takes 9 different cards and gets down to the gritty details for you.
Awarded for its position as the best bang-for the buck graphics solution in both single-card and SLI configurations, the only question in the minds of hopeful buyers of Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 460 1 GB card is: which particular board to buy? Over a dozen manufacturers offer a vast array of clock speeds, accessory packages, and support. So, we asked that question for you.
In the end, it looks like the tradeoff is performance vs warranty. The cost is nearly identical on all the cards, but the highest-performing ones seem to have the worse warranties. They try out :
- Asus ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP/2DI/1GD5
- ECS Black Series GTX 460 NBGTX460-1GPI-F
- EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked 1024 MB EE (External Exhaust)
- Gigabyte GTX 460 GV-N460OC-1GI

Personally, I’m a fan of EVGA but any of them looks like great choices.
