Depends on the game really sometimes your looking at double the performance.
Such as this http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Z...dition/21.html have a look at some of the other games reviewed to get a feel for what your getting : ] |

Isn't this the kind of thing you ask BEFORE spending money on a card?

 Great performance increase from the 460. It is the "hot" card for the moment.

should be close to 2x in most scenario's, just promise me you'll overclock that bastard, you can easily squeeze another 15+% performance from that one, then it will be quite easily over double the 4830 no questions asked.
