 Even at 1920x1200 we find that Metro 2033 is far too demanding for today’s mid-range graphics cards, and although we are using the DX11 rendering mode, features such as Tessellation have been disabled to try and achieve playable performance. Despite that, the Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI (1GB) averaged just 15fps at 1920x1200, while the Palit GTX 460 Sonic Platinum (1GB) averaged 19fps. The mighty GeForce GTX 480 averaged just 28fps, so a disappointing batch of results all round.
 The Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI (1GB) was far more impressive when playing Splinter Cell Conviction, where it averaged 43fps at 1920x1200 making it just 5% or 2fps faster than the Inno3D GeForce GTX 460 (768MB). It was the Palit GTX 460 Sonic Platinum (1GB) that again stole the show, delivering 23% more performance than the Gigabyte GV-N460OC-1GI (1GB). |

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 |

I like how they have used dual fans. The load temps are really low. |

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  |

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... |

This looks much more impressive than those new GTS 450 cards. So whats your take, the 768MB of 1024MB version? |

Hey everyone. Anyone know of problems with these cards because newegg has a lot of spammers saying these cards are horrible and only last for a few weeks then crap out? Please post.  |
