The GeForce GTX 460 saved Nvidia's hind last year when it hit the market at $200 (currently $150 for the 768MB version) beating the existing Radeon HD 5830, while simultaneously threatening the more affordable Radeon HD 5770. Meanwhile, the 1GB version of the same card was offered for $230, greatly diminishing the Radeon HD 5850's value. Even with the eventual price cuts on AMD's side, we felt the GeForce GTX 460 was a deserving winner at the time, offering users the best bang for their buck.AMD vowed to keep on top of Nvidia throughout 2010 and into 2011, so an overhaul was in order. AMD then launched its current-gen Radeon 6000 cards last October, with the Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 priced at $199 and $239 -- suspiciously close to the GTX 460.
