Earlier this week AMD threw down the performance gauntlet with their dual-chip Radeon HD6990. Today, NVidia answers their challenge with some help from EVGA thanks to the new GeForce GTX460 “2Win”, which contains dual GF104 Fermi chips.
EVGA has just set loose the details of a new GTX 460 2Win graphics card, which ticks along at 700MHz, has 672 cumulative CUDA cores served by 2GB of GDDR5, and reportedly collects more 3D Marks than NVIDIA’s finest card out at the moment, the GTX 580. The company also gleefully reports that pricing of the 2Win model will be lower than the 580’s. It’s interesting that NVIDIA is opting for a pair of the older-gen GF104 Fermi chips here, but then again, those have been big winners with critics and price-sensitive gamers alike, with many touting the use of two GTX 460s in SLI as a more sensible solution than the elite single-card options
No word on performance yet, but it definitely sounds attractive.
@ aberkae Good point.. Although I would _love_ putting 2 of these new 460’s in my computer for Quad-SLI 🙂
I wonder if it will be cheaper then 2 EVGA
SSC gtx 460 in sli around $380 ( stock clocked @ 850 mhz)price is based on Newegg after MIR!
