Aaa yea almost any (if not any) GTX460 overclock like crazy add a little voltage and go on!
shame these overclock like poo...
BTW i love this what you wrote,
"Folding is hugely popular (join our Redline @ OC3D Folding team, plug plug)
and the GTS250 has a good showing here being just under a stock 460, and when overclocked getting up near 9000 PPD."

Nice looking card. It'll need to be about £90 to be viable though.
If not then I don't know why Nvidia even bothered with this tbh. I'm sure PC World will sell a few, but any one who can use a web browser is soon going to realise that they're better off with a 460.
This particular one overclocks like poo, but from the stock clock the overclock on this card is actually very impressive. Sadly as Tom pointed out that will add price, which then takes it into 5770 and then 460 territory where it is way out of its depth.
I do really like the cooler though.

well it seems like they did the same thing with the gts450 and gtx460 as ati did with the 5750 and 5770. the higher 1 just makes alot more sense to buy.
its good to see that nvidia actually has something to compete with in the lower end, altough its kinda a whole year late. Those gtx460s id say are nvidias shining achievement for the 4xx line, and ati can take the crown for the high end, and intel for the low.

what is it these days with NVIDIA & ATI(AMD) they are making graphic card the same way supermarkets are selling biscuits in every colour and size, this is becoming ridiculous and I suppose the next thing they will do is (buy one get one free)

that would be a great thing depending on the card tho!!
Sorry to sorta revive a 'dead' thread.
Aren't the 450 designed to operate at 1024x768 and 1280x1024, due to the results of the Steam screen resolution survey where 31% of users have that resolution. Which is why it isn't all that powerful, since you don't need all that much memory and shader cores.

Well we cant change the settings for every card, we use a blanket set of settings and benchmarks to make it easier for the reader to be able to compare.
