The new Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 graphics cards appear to be real winners, as they deliver greater performance per dollar than their ATI rivals while giving up nothing on the power and heat front. The GeForce GTX 460 768MB graphics card, which will be priced at $200 US matching the current retail price of the Radeon HD 5830, was found to be on average 6% faster.

I read the first few pages and then jumped to the overclocking results ... all I can say is OMG those things rock. |

Its a joke that they ever released the GeForce GTX 465, seriously Nvidia's naming scheme is BS! |

Nice to see the green guys get it right. I suspect that the GTX 465 will be short lived now. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire GF100 based line disappears and is replaced with a dual GF104 based card. I was thinking of getting a 5850 soon but the 1GB GTX460 has my eye now. |

Another thing..these GF104 products being released now only have 336 of 384 cores enabled. I think we can expect to see a card with all 384 cores turned on in the future. In further reading today I could be wrong in saying the GF100 will disappear but you may only see it in the GTX480 and NVidia's high end workstation products as the GF100 has additional features catering to computing. They stripped the GF104 of features not needed for gaming and made a lean and mean pure graphics card. Due to the GF104's superior clock speeds a 384 core model could likely match the GF100 based GTX470 so I suspect the GTX470 and GTX465 will disappear soon. I think I'm going to hold out and see what the 384 core (GTX475?) card can do. |

@ Horribleron - I agree, it will be interesting to see when and if Nvidia will release a new version of the 480 also. I am also keen to see what ATI do as well. |

Wow I just checked out the results and damn those things are fast. When I saw the name GTX 460 Im thought meh, but then I saw the results, very strange. |

Read a article today on Fudzilla that confirms that a 384 core version is on the way once they run out of GTX470 models to sell. Likely name is the GTX475. Should be a spankin fast card. But will NVidia be around to support it long? Apple gave them the boot today with all of the new Apple systems and went with ATI. That's a HUGH loss of business. |
