GTX 460, The $200 King

[philbar71]

Today NVIDIA is back in the saddle with something entirely new: GF104 and the GTX 460. The second member of the Fermi family is ready for its day in the sun, and in many ways it's nothing like we expected. Designed from the start as a smaller chip than GF100, GF104 is the basis of the GTX 460 line of products which fix the GTX 465's ills while delivering the GTX 465's performance. It's what the GTX 465 should have been, and it's priced as low as $199. And as we'll see, it's the first NVIDIA card in a long time that we can give a glowing review for.

No threads about this card yet? Odd... Anyways, this looks like the next 8800GT

yep, finally a worthy card to fill that $200 spot.

Now all we need is for the HD 5850's to come down to $250, then there would be some serious competition.

I have to admit that nvidia finally has something that's a reasonable alternative to the Evergreen series and we also finally have a good card to fill the massive price gap between the 5770 and 5850. Hopefully we will see some nice price drops across the board as a result.

Dont forget the HD5830. (hehe)

But yeah the GTX460 looks great.
