I bought a GTX460 two weeks ago.($234 at the time) This is factory overclocked from the stock 700MHz to 800Mhz.

I was very disappointed, I couldn't get the Folding GPU3 CUDA client to use it at all, maybe it's me, lol. The Collatz GPU tasks ran slightly slower than on the HD5770, 14-15min. on the GTX460 vs. 11.5-12min. on the HD5770. On RC5-72 the GTX460 checked ~270M keys/sec vs. the HD5670's ~325M keys/sec. at half the cost! The HD5770 checks ~900M keys/sec. (The only two projects with ati clients I was on)

I returned it with surprisingly no hassle and upgraded to a HD5870. Poorer but happier now. Laughing

I hope this is helpful.

Um, GTX 460.

It didn't quite stink, but wasn't worth $75 more than a HD5770.




I thought you'd like that photo, lol.
