Gigabyte GTX460 shows with wind force cooler and 1GB RAM

What the GTX 480 is not managed, will now make up the scaled-model mainstream GTX 460, and it looks promising. Almost all the major manufacturers these days have a GTX 460 in program, or how this Gigabyte today announced. Gigabyte want to score points especially with the built-cooling solution for the consumer.

The card is set to Consistently very high-quality components, which are to stand a better overclocking than the reference design, manufactured cards. Sun twice as thick copper conductors are applied (2oz), used Japanese capacitors and accurately installed Metallkernspulenu, with economical voltage transformer complete the picture. With such a basis, it is hardly surprising that Gigabyte has overclocked the GPU to about 715 MHz. The CUDA 336 units clocked 100 MHz faster than it rich except the default, only the memory is in accordance with reference 3600MHz. To sell well here by the size of the GTX 460 models, there are two different storage facilities, which thanks to the different bandwidth to the GPU at times likely to have a large impact on performance. Thus, besides the normal GTX 460 with 768 megabytes of memory and a 192 bit wide interface, a card with 1024 megabytes and the resulting 256-bit interface available.
The main radiator is a Dualslotmodell which promises thanks to two fans even at a low speed high air throughput. The countless fins receive the waste heat of the "Fermi" directly over two 6mm heatpipes and ensure rapid heat dissipation at low volume.
