I would find it very hard to beleive that an overclocked 460 could get anywhere near an overclocked 480, it cannot even better an overclocked 5850 across the board, unless of course you are talking about an overclocked 460 versus STOCK opposition which is hardly fair as anyone willing to overclock the 460 would also overclock the 480 if they owned it.

The great strength of these 460's is their SLi scaling IMO but to fully appreciate it you need to be running at least a res of 1920 as even at that res you are only only getting 72% of the 2nd card which is an immediate toilet flush of 28% of the price but thats a damn site better than many previous offerings.
