Wow, amazing results. Great scaling results too!
Two full GF104 cores and we might have a setup that can rival an HD5970 in performance at a substantially lower price. Quote:

This could well be the foundations of "GTX 495". The GF104 has another 48 CUDA cores that are locked in the GTX 460 (total 384), and the GPU/Shader domains seem to be clocking well.

Excellent review as usual.
![]() Hows the power consumption of these cards?? 2x gtx 460 @>925mhz may even rival that asus ares Power usage may be similar too

Great review W1zzard!
![]() Good to know nVidia is on the right track again. And thanks for showing that two 460 can pack quite a punch for a semi-moderate price. It will definitely be an option in my table for a future pc. |

The best price vs performance card of FERMI
... I think we would see some price drops pretty soon from the ATi side ...

I hope to see some price drops as well, but i dont think as the competition of the GTX 460 which is the HD 5830 is almost the same price. But if nVidia release a high end card at a low price, then maybe ATis high end card prices will drop and eventually the mid range card prices will drop.

Could have gone 3 way SLi for the price of a HD 5970 and had superior performance.

At least the dual 460 card will support quad sli. But i doubt it will cost 400USD, maybe 600.

It will probably cost more than a GTX 480.

@W1zz, how about changing Metro2033 to BC2 or adding BC2?

Damn good results.
Two of it overclocked to 900Mhz and it will outperform the 5970 for sure. But with 240 bucks on your pockets. |

Pleasantly surprised with how the GTX 460's did in SLI. If my video card was one or two generations older and I had a standard ATX setup, this is what I would want to have in my rig. Too bad they can't go triple or quad SLI...
