[ Test: Battlefield Bad Company 2, Far Cry 2 ]

The Battlefield Bad Company 2 results at 1920x1200 saw the Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI (1GB) leading the Inno3D GeForce GTX 460 (768MB) by a 5% margin, which equates to just 2fps. This also meant that the GV-N460OC-1GI (1GB) was 17% slower than the Palit GTX 460 Sonic Platinum (1GB). The GeForce GTX 460 1GB cards appear to have a real advantage over the 768MB cards when testing with Far Cry 2. As you can see, the Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI (1GB) outpaced the Inno3D GeForce GTX 460 (768MB) by a 22% margin, despite still being 8% slower than the Palit GTX 460 Sonic Platinum (1GB).

Posted on: 08/11/2010 01:02 PM That's a good looking card with a nice price tag. I was thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these and the review has made it all the more tempting, thanks :S

Posted on: 08/15/2010 11:43 PM I like how they have used dual fans. The load temps are really low.

Posted on: 08/21/2010 05:23 PM Would this card overclock better ,with a superior thermal compound ?

ProX	Posted on: 08/22/2010 10:32 PM Very cool looking card for the money. @ userdude - Maybe but it ran pretty cool as it was. Chances are they got an average overclocking card. What would really improve overclocking is a voltage mod

Posted on: 09/08/2010 11:15 PM When I use your overclocking numbers I get a Driver error when running 3D Mark Vantage? So I'm back on 800/1600/1900 Please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Already have the latest drivers...

Lee	Posted on: 09/14/2010 09:42 AM This looks much more impressive than those new GTS 450 cards. So whats your take, the 768MB of 1024MB version?
