If you still had any doubts about its existence, however, now you can catch a glimpse of two actual products expected to debut in the coming days along with some press slides detailing their performance. The information was posted by a forum member at Expreview and depicts Gigabyte's GTX 460 as slightly faster than a "generic" HD 5830 in most tests, while remaining a bit slower than the GTX 465. The slides refer to the performance of a reference design GTX 460 with stock frequencies at 675MHz, 3600MHz and 1350MHz for the GPU, memory and shader clocks respectively.
The price is $199 for the 768 MB variant and between $229-239 for the 1GB model, which is rather aggressive for a card that is expected to outperform the $220 Radeon HD 5830. For its part, MSI has a non-reference card in the works which will feature a Cyclone Cooler and should come factory overclocked to 725MHz for the GPU and 1450MHz for shaders. There's no word on pricing for this model yet and a 1GB variant hasn't been confirmed either.

I want whatever drugs the designer of that heat sink is taking.

If a card of that price will outperform the hd 5830 it will be a great card for a multi gpu setup at that price.

well if it is faster than the 5830; then i will open up my wallet for one to replace my aging 7600gt.

They had used this cooler on the ATI HD4890.

It'd be good to see NVIDIA compete in price with AMD. Might finally cause some price drops.

Il take some of the stuff the heatsink designer is taking.
I wounder when those ATi 59XX cards will finally hit the market en mass to let those prices fall some more =)
Hopefully, it will be good to see Nvidia back in the fight, time will tell.
If i mention, Bush, Clinton and Obama, will bots rain down with posts?

Hahaha, I have an aging 7600GT too
Although I'm not planning on buying another Nvidia. Just a personal preference thing, I want to build an AMD/ATI machine next, I now have an Intel/Nvidia. -
i like the heatsink design it really eye-catching and would look fantastic in a multi gpu setup

Tom, that's the same heatsink they put on the OC 1Ghz core 4890
I guess they shared their 'stuff'
