Nvidia 460

Postby Duck Man » Thu Jul 15, 2010 10:23 am

Nvidia has released a new 4 series card, the 460. They changed the architecture around so it actually performs really close to the 465. Like its generally faster with AA disabled. Anyways the exciting part is that its base price is 200 bucks. No benchmarks have been done yet, but 2 of them should be able to perform better than a single 480. There for is a cheaper alternative. This is the route I will be going. I think monday I will be ordering 2, along with a new case.

My 285 still performs strong. Haven't run into any games that it couldn't run without looking pretty...until I turn on the 3D vision anyway XD.

Just a year?
The reason that every major university maintains a department of mathematics is that it is cheaper to do this than to institutionalize all those people.
