MSI N460GTX 1GD5 Cyclone 1GB Review

Resident Evil 5, known in Japan as Biohazard 5, is a survival horror third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the seventh installment in the Resident Evil survival horror series, and was released on March 5, 2009 in Japan and on March 13, 2009 in North America and Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A Windows version of the game was released on September 15, 2009 in North America, September 17 in Japan and September 18 in Europe. Resident Evil 5 revolves around Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar as they investigate a terrorist threat in Kijuju, a fictional town in Africa.

Within its first three weeks of release, the game sold over 2 million units worldwide and became the best-selling game of the franchise in the United Kingdom. As of December, 2009, Resident Evil 5 has sold 5.3 million copies worldwide since launch, becoming the best selling Resident Evil game ever made.

We tested via DX 10 with 8AA, Motion blur ON, Shadow, Texture on and at the native resolution of our 1920×1200 panel.

The MSI overclocked 460GTX falls slightly behind the reference GTX465 but it is minimal. The HD5850 leads the way in this particular game with the HD5830 limping home in last place.

  1. That card is extremely impressive, the GTX460 pricing is so good too.

  2. MSI are kicking ass in 2010, no doubt about it. loved all the products you guys have reviewed here in the last couple of months.

  3. Very good review, and what an overclock!

  4. The cooler looks very like a Zalman design, glad you spotted that also. Wonder if they had a hand in this card. Where the hell are Zalman lately anyway?

  5. Its hard to fault the GTX460 and these third party designs are pushing the box even further.

  6. Wicked, very good price for such a modded design.

  7. MSI are really using high quality components arent they? shows in all their products we are seeing lately.

  8. Well this is my new card, once I can find it for sale.

  9. Love the design, remember my zalman GFX cooler years ago, this looks very similar.

  10. Damn, thats a sexy card. the price makes them such a good deal, not far from hd5850 in highly overclocked states either.

  11. I would never have contemplated MSI for a graphics card, not until recently anyway.

  12. Seems like a good value for money video card. the market is so competitive in 2010, I love to see it.

  13. This card overclocks like a mofo, wonder if they hand picked it for kitguru however ?

  14. Great review and I love the look of this baby.

  15. This is a lovely looking product and well priced. I hope to see more from MSI in the future in this price point.

  16. That is such a well made product really but they have stiff competition from other GTX460 makers

  17. Well im glad to see the 1gb version has keep the MSI flag flying high, the 768mb model got good reviews also.

  18. This begs the question, why the hell did nvidia make a 768mb version anyway, it seems so pointless really.

  19. This seems to be a good price for value for money, under 200 now gives such good offerings to the end user. over 200 seems pointless unless you need 30 inch screen resolutions when gaming.

  20. Seems a good first choice this, ATI are weak at 199. which is weird for them. 5850 needs to drop to 200 now.

  21. Very nice product that. good pricing from MSI also, should sell well cause I want one 🙂

  22. It actually shows how competitive the market is in 2010 at this time, 3 years ago, a card like this would have been a high end board.

  23. ROP of GTX 460 1GB GPU should be 32 units.
    Texture Filtering Rate (Bilinear) should be 37.8 as well.
