Looking ahead, we've heard rumors of a possible GeForce GTX 485 sporting the full 512 CUDA cores that Fermi promises, but when quizzed about the likelihood of such a SKU, NVIDIA said they couldn't comment. There's also talk of an even...

The GeForce GTX 460 768 MB, priced to match the Radeon HD 5830, is a little less attractive. The smaller frame buffer hurts performance at high resolutions with AA turned on, and a narrower memory bus translates into less bandwidth, consequently slowing...
