im not seeing overclocked GTX460s in this review
Are you guys really trying to compare a GTX460 Overclocked to a stock HD5850?
If we are going to use overclock cards lets overclock both please.
Here is my take so far on GTX460:
GTX460, Great bang for the buck, impressive performance, SLI looks like another bang for the buck with GTX460.
Things yet to be answered:
OC GTX460 vs OC ATI HD5850?
Does it passthrough HDMI audio(DTS-HD, etc)?
ATI have an answer or price drops?
HD5830 EOL?

HTPC - AMD Phenom II 555 Unlocked(4cores) - 4GB Gskill - AMD HD 5850 - Avermedia Duet - Harman Kardon avr247 - Surround Sound (Infinity Beta 50's, 10's, 360, and ed a2-300) - Samsung 46"

The 460 1gb is looking pretty damn appealing, good price, good power consumption, good temps, good OC potential, good performance, good price!!
It's certainly looking to have all the characteristics that made the 8800gt a great product.

your knee jerk reaction is understandable. but I'm not comparing absolute performance like you imagined. the efficiency comparison is valid and pressing. everyone hates gf100 because it is inefficient. 5850/5870 are pretty awesomely efficient. and if these benchmarks are true, gf104 completely reverses that, becoming the new efficiency leader.
combined with the smaller chip and board size (which directly equates to lower cost), this means people will love it for all the reasons they hate gf100...
Well, you can't really buy an HD 5850 for 200 bucks now, can you? So it makes sense.
OCed GTX 460 is close to an HD 5870, so depending how lucky you are, they can be on par even with OC.
Dolby True HD and DTS-HD is supported.
They better.
It wasn't that good to begin with, so who cares?
