GTX 460

Somewhat conflicting... at points.

 

 

The 460 is able to outperform the 5830 quite a few times in both reviews and is overall beastly for the price point.

Oh and note the OCing ability. This isn't the review that shows it off.

It's in chinese but the OC marks are towards the end. In short, OC'd this thing will keep up or beat the 5850/470 @ stock.

If this card out performs the 5770,ati is gonna have some problems.

Why? The 5770 is much cheaper, say it outperforms or performs with a 5830 then we have a showdown. If it outperforms a 5850 then ATI has a problem.

According to those results, it doesn't perform that much better then a 5770 at a higher price point. Even funnier that it manages to get the same size as said 5770 but requires the second 6-pin power.

 

Not that I want to bash or anything, but most of us testers know that the 5830 can't handle more then 4XMSAA in BF Bad Company 2, if you increase it the card bombs out. I bet the GTX 460 will do better in that aspect and still hold around the same frame blowing the doors off the 5830. So my question why was this not looked at? Just a question from an outside perspective.

 

Anyways, I look forward to our testing. :)

Let me just set Chrome to auto-translate.....

 

 

 

Their Crysis bench is not as intensive as ours (High VS Enthusiast) and thus not pushing the GPU to the same extent. I like how they show an OCed 460 against a stock 5850 instead of an OCed 5830 to continue the comparison. Also, I smell serious cherry-picking of the GPU cores for reviews, and a HEAVY nVidia bias in the first site. Not to mention the lengths this guy is going to to defend his review.....

The settings are universal for the GPUs. Relative performance is marked just fine.

 

Uh, this isn't a 5830 review. They're comparing just the GTX 460 and OC ability compared to various other cards, at stock. If you want a OC'd 5830 go look up a 5830 review/benchmark, The review isn't GTX460 vs. HD 5830, it's a general GTX 460 review.

More reviews. Looking fairly good so far. Low heat and power usage vs other fermi.

When they mention it being the closest competitor it becomes one. When they show the 460 OC but nothing else OCed shows nothing when evaluation which card at the same price point to get.

 

Higher settings = more load = better indicator of what it can actually do. Thus, Enthusiast is better for benching then the High setting they use. Heck, for testing the 57x0 we used Enthusiast, and for the 4670 it went down.

 

Hey Bosco, who is doing the 460 review anyways?

No, it doesn't. Mentioning its immediate market competitor doesn't mean they are going to go all out and individually review how well each of the cards OC. I'd actually like to see a site that does this because it would put into perspective the OCing capabilities of Fermi vs. Cypress, especially at this point where most manufacturers produced custom PCBs with locked VRM.

 

It's still a relative show of strength. Putting great stress on it won't inherently diversify the levels of performance unless it's being inhibited by the CPU or supporting hardware in some form.

Goexile: You looked at recent OCC reviews, becuase we have been doing that. I hope Frank (ccokeman) does the review because his are always super indepth.

 

Scarab: Link to that article already posted above (by me infact).

early reviews look great. i'll reserve full judgement till i see occ's and guru 3d's reviews. i'm interested to see how pricing will be here because you can get a 5770 for between $180-220 and the gtx465 is around the price of the 5850 both around $340-380
