The math of close enough to not lose any sleep over so let us not nickle and dime this debate? As for 60 FPS on my card? I can 100% absolutly gureentee I do in fact get an average frame rate of 60 FPS using ultra "in game" quality settings. I already stated I turn AA 100% off not only in game but in control panel as well. All those benchmarks you guys click too all use some degree of AA which takes a solid 20% off the top in performance. Also most of those reviews do not have the GTX460 running GTX560 speeds. I do in fact I am bang on for speed being 800core/1600shader/4000memory. That is in fact out of the box GTX560 speeds. I also never mentioned GTX560Ti anywhere in my post because the Ti model is not the same as it has 384 shaders vs. 336 so those two can't be even compared.

Your post pretty much defeats itself.
All one has to do is focus on your "logic".
"Also 1680x1050 resolution is more or less the same as 1080P"
This is ridiculous. That's like saying "75% is basically the same thing as 100%, what's the difference?" It's flat out not the same. There is no gray area with mathematical fact.
"AA does not make any game "max" settings. The graphics stay the same no matter the AA level used.

"Maxing out the settings" means ticking every single option, including AA (most taxing option available), maximum AF, DOF, etc, etc. There is also no gray area here. There is maximum settings, and not maximum. Just because you don't *think* AA adds anything to the picture doesn't make it so. I'm sorry, but these are things you simply can't argue at all.
I fail to see any argument from you at all. It's pointless anyways because he wasn't considering a GTX 460 in the first place. I just wanted to make sure he didn't take you seriously, because it would have been a poor decision in my opinion.
As for your other comments: You most likely skimmed what I wrote, because you seem to be talking about a different subject than myself. I'm glad to know that your opinion trumps that of all major hardware review websites and hardware professionals though. Thank you for showing me the light!
PS: Just to be certain. Did you read this page?
Notice this isn't even on "ultra". The GTX 480 doesn't even get 60FPS at high settings here. Is your gtx 460 faster than a stock 480?
