At 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 the results are fairly similar (and in fact, they mirror what we saw in 3DMark Vantage). Mainly, the Radeon HD 5830 edges out both of the new GeForce GTX 460 cards, as well as the GeForce GTX 465. Beyond that, the GeForce GTX 460 1 GB consistently sneaks past the GeForce GTX 465, while the GeForce GTX 460 768 MB trails it just slightly.
It’s also worth noting that once you turn on anti-aliasing at 2560x1600, performance tanks on the GTX 460 768 MB. Though none of these cards have the GPU muscle to cope with such a high resolution, this card specifically runs out of frame buffer and is unable to keep up. If you’re in the market for a higher-end board or a dual-GPU CrossFire/SLI config, bear in mind that higher resolutions necessitate larger frame buffers, too.
Finally, the price wars from the 4000/GTX 200 ages are back!
At last, Nvidia has impressed me(to a certain extent).But where's power consumption in SLI?

Did you even read the whole article?

Great review as always, Chris.

Much thanks, sir!
Nice review, Chris. Best I've read here in a while.
I have never waited for this... It's not "we", it must be "some people".
Note: That is if you consider "me" in that "we".

We, as in Tom's Hardware ;-)
the 5830 i think is a better card, hell you can get a 5770 super-clock it and thats the same speed as a GTX460 for a fraction of the price!

Might have overlooked that line, but I'm wondering how the 460 would perform when overclocked.
Comparing it with your test on the 480 , two GTX 460 1gb s in SLI does seem to outperform a single 480, although very slightly
Very nice SLI scaling IMO...That is one department where Nvidia wins always...
Hope to see ATI improve their scaling performance...And a very good article there Chris...
Took them long enough. Bring on the price wars.
I hope they this will make the price war trickle up to the higher ati and nvidia cars. have had my eye on a 5850, hope the 5830 get real cheap fast and the 5850 to follow down to the $250 price range.
i wonder if they will make a new gtx465 with the a full or near full gf104 core.
this is a decent budget card, but this disgusts me. If nvidia really wants to make us wait 6 months after ati, they might aswell made it the extra couple of months for the 480 to be put on fermi 104. i cant believe they didnt wait
This is the same GPU as the laptop GTX 480m isn't it? Same GF104?
Funny comparing a supposedly more powerful card (GTX 460) against the 5770 and it still makes the 5770 look good due to less power, cheaper price, and of course the (relatively) small difference in FPS where it would make a difference (anything over 60ish FPS is not counted).
actually, i like ati and all, but id take the 460 1 gig version over the 5770 anyday, way more bang for buck
Just checked with Guru3D, these cards easily overclock to 800+ MHz core without voltage tweaks.An absolutely great overclocker!
