The 460's significantly better, even though that model's got a lame 192-bit memory interface, which stalls its performance. The 6850's much better at a similar price, though, so go that way.

Guys. Please listen to what I've been saying. The OP's 460, the only one available today, is not the same 460 that's in your machines and in my own. Its memory interface is different, and its performance is different. It's not comparable to the 6850, but it still costs just as much.

192 as opposed to 256 memory bus width.

it does take a performance hit.

No. The 1gb version now comes with the 192-bit bus, so I believe it performs pretty similarly to the 768mb version, which you can no longer find.

@OP to be honest, I would say get the 550Ti because the 192bit version doesn't overclock nearly as well as the 256-bit one from what I know, and has worse performance.

Of course you could go with 6850, but if you use anything OpenGL based, stick with nVidia. My GTS250 gets better performance when it comes to OpenGL than my three 6950s
