In mountain climbing going down is almost as hard as climbing up in the first place, sometimes even harder. The same is true in regards to the graphics cards market. Thanks to high diversification and price segmentation, both AMD and Nvidia have to design numerous chips to satisfy as many market niches as possible.
Back in summer, we reviewed Nvidia's GeForce GTX 460 1GB graphics card. Not only did it manage to outperform its more pricy older brother - GeForce GTX 465, but in some cases it was able to pick a fight with a vastly more complex GeForce GTX 470. The only major disappointment about GeForce GTX 460 1GB was the price of $229, which was still above the psychological sub-$200 mark. This is where our hero, GeForce GTX 460 768 MB, steps in with a launch MSRP price of $199. A seemingly perfect candidate for your gaming rig, isn’t it?
Unfortunately, the price is not the only thing that is subject to change. Since we reviewed GeForce GTX 460 1GB, opposition has grown stronger. With the latest introduction of Radeon HD 6850 graphics card Nvidia has a real fight on its hands. Fortunately for them, we have chosen one of the best representatives – a Gigabyte trained fighter. For many years Gigabyte has been one of the forefront leaders in computer hardware and managed to establish quite a name for itself among PC enthusiasts around the world. Let’s see if its finest GV-N460OC-768I can hold the ground before advancing AMD.
