Not impressed. The quest for the overclocked part is a fallacy, gaurnteed clocks are what matter here not potential. For all we know that could be a center cut best bet card or it could be the overall average; at this point we dont know. There have been a number of these cards floating around that people buy for the sake of overclocking only to have the rug pulled out from beneath them.
The HD5850 washot until we couldn't adjust voltage, same thing with the GTX470. Once the non-ref PCBs hit this card will be a dud just like the other 2 before it.
Even still, going based of what they said a 900mhz 460 @ 192bit only just matched a 600mhz GTX 470. Lets not forget that the 470 with volts does 700-800+ which will wipe the floor with the aftermentioned card.
The only thing I see coming out of this is a price drop on the ATi cards and nothing more. The 460 is an interesting card but I fail to see how its a game changer.
Now if this was the GT212 totally different story but this card is going up against a GTX470 / HD5850. Why in the world would anyone buy this over either two?
