If you’re a kind of person who never miss the latest update of the graphic industry, you’d definitely notice that by now the NVIDIA has scored a hit with its amazing GeForce GTX 460. Even though the GeForce GTX 460 is not the fastest graphics card in NVIDIA’s arsenal, it is certaintly one of the best GPU NVIDIA has ever made ever since ATI debuted their Evergreen series.

The main key to GTX 460′s success is its combination of awful performance, modest power, thermal requirements as well as affordable price. At this point of time, there is not other GPU within the $200 to $250 range even comes close to competing the GeForce GTX 460’s performance.

As a matter of fact, the GeForce GTX 460 is very fast that is on par with other models including the GeForce GTX 465 and it even challenges the Radeon HD 5850 which costs $300.

What’s more, unlike its predecessor which uses Fermi cards, the GeForce GTX 460 uses the new GF104 chipset, a smaller version of the original GF100 that made its debut in the GeForce GTX 480. The latest GF104 proved that it could maintain its excellent performacnce of the earlier GF100 despite consuming less power and discharging less heat.
