Gigabyte GTX 460 OC SLi Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell September 21, 2010 Featured Announcement, Graphics

Aliens V Predator has proved to be a big seller since the release and Sega have taken the franchise into new territory after taking it from Sierra. AVP is a Direct X 11 supported title and delivers not only advanced shadow rendering but high quality tessellation for the cards on test today.

To test the cards we used a 1080p resolution with DX11, Texture Quality Very High, MSAA Samples 1, 16 af, ambient occulsion on, shadow complexity high, motion blur on.

With two cards our average frame rate increases from low 40's to around 75, which is a good scaling increase. We will revisit this game at 2560×1600 later in the review.

    That is a fantastic board. SLi scaling is impressive, always has been.

    Good all round boards, but I keep wondering if it is just too little to late. rumours on the net say ATIs next solutions are out in a months time.

    the cheaper models are normally 768mb versions though, not worth picking up

    I still think the HD5850 is a better buy. its faster and with AMD you get better drivers and support.

    5850 is priced higher + not always faster card, thus not the best buy… yet…

    I agree with Jordan – HD5850 is quite a bit more expensive still.

    Unless you get a HD5850 on a sale deal, its costing more. and if you manually OC these 460s you get HD5850 performance anyway. thats the whole selling point from nvidia.

    Nvidia re panicing tho. they know ATis new cards are coming soon. its a reduced sale to sell as many cards as possible before everyone goes back to ATi.

    AMD better pull their socks up some and get their new cards to market since the GTX 460’s in SLI are so close to 5870 in Crossfire for half the price
