@ 2010/10/27The GTX 460 1 GB and GTX 470 set to rise in prices once again in mid November.
Further confusion is created with a large variety of non-reference Overclocked GTX 460 cards with a differing range of clock speeds and thermal characteristics, which NVIDIA are pushing as the primary competition for the Radeon HD 6870. While the reference GTX 460 1 GB is no match for the HD 6870, some of the massively overclocked cards provide stellar value in the $210-$230 range. Particularly, the EVGA GTX 460 FTW provides an incredible 25% overclock which boosts its performance to the HD 6870 / GTX 470 performance class at bargain price of $229. While it does consume significantly more power than the HD 6870, it does provide stellar price/performance and arguably effectively counter-attacks the HD 6870 release. Unfortunately for NVIDIA, these cards make for better deals than both the reference GTX 460 1 GB and the GTX 470 as well.
