Final Words & Conclusion
The Verdict
Though the Axle graphics cards are still hard to find in the shops, we do like to say that we definitely recommend them. So if you spot one and are in the market for a card like this then do not hesitate to purchase it on the grounds of it being an unknown brand.
The overall performance of the GeForce GTX 460 already is admirable, this card comes factory overclock alright a good chunk higher. But you can really benefit from a manual overclock thanks to the cooler. 900 MHz is just not an issue and thanks to the Twin Turbo cooler the temperatures didn't even pass 55 Degrees C. Do take our pointers for granted, to reach that frequency you will need to tweak with GPU voltage a little bit. If not, roughly 925 MHz will be your end-results. Which isn't bad either. Totally your call to make of course.
Performance wise you'll have noting to complain about, pretty much any game up-to 1920x1200 will run just fine with a fairly decent set of image quality preferences enabled.
What keeps surprising us is the tremendous overclocking potential, pretty much any and every card we tested to date has shown a lot of reserve and room for overclocking, and they scale really well while doing so.
At this point we have tested no less than sixteen GeForce GTX 460 class cards, and this card again is something special, it manages to gratifies us very much. A card like this allows you to play any game to date with high image quality settings up-to 1600x1200 and in most scenarios 1920x1200 as well. At this price level, that is just really good overall value.
The sheer design and quality components alone make this an awesome product which you'll like very much, and is something that the more tweaking and enthusiast crowd will like very much. At this price level, the GeForce GTX 460 just is really good overall value.
