Gigabyte´s Super Overclock is without a doubt the best 1GB GeForce GTX 460 we´ve tested. We were already impressed by NVIDIA´s reference design, but when you´re in the market for a custom derivative, you´re generally looking for something that´s quicker, quieter and cooler. Gigabyte´s SOC ticks all of those boxes, and costs only £20 more than reference. Out-the-box performance is excellent at the £175 price point, and Gigabyte´s custom design manages to keep ultra-cool and ultra-quiet under load. But it´s arguably the price that´s most appealing. We had expected to see this card listed in the region of £200, but by being late to market, it´s now duelling with AMD´s impressive new mid-range and has been priced accordingly. It´s a great time to be in the market for a PC graphics card, and such is the quality of both the GeForce GTX 460 and Radeon HD 6870 GPUs, it´s difficult to point out a clear winner. They both offer exceptional performance for under £200, and are perhaps best differentiated by their respective feature sets. AMD has Eyefinity and lower power consumption in its corner, whilst NVIDIA continues to promote 3D visuals and CUDA-accelerated apps. Different features will appeal to different audiences, but if your mid-range requirements are best met by NVIDIA, don´t hesitate in picking up Gigabyte´s excellent GeForce GTX 460 Super Overclock.
