Inno3D GeForce GTX 460 OC edition gets tested and reviewed

The success of the GeForce GTX 460 series is really interesting to see, raving reviews everywhere and all NVIDIA board partners try to jump the gun by releasing many models based on the two new SKU's (768MB/1024MB).

The GTX 460 is a product that a lot of you guys have been waiting on. In their baseline configuration these products are just good. However, for the first time in a rather long time NVIDIA allowed it's partners to customize the PCBs, cooler and clock frequencies at launch time. The board partners have been complaining about that stringent grip of NVIDIA on the board designs for a long time time now, and the minute we see a launch with customized board partner SKUs, the minute the launch is a success.

The 'default' GeForce GTX 460 editions have the GPU running at 675 MHz and the memory clock at 3600 MHz (effective data-rate)..

The Inno3D GeForce GTX 460 OC model we test today flexes the GPU and memory muscle all the way up towards a rocking core of 750MHz, the shaders to 1500 MHz and the GDDR5 to 3800 MHz (effective). Armed with a 2-year limited warranty, Inno3D is trying real hard to not only bring a nice custom board to the market, but tries to release pre-overclocked models at a fairly normal pricing, yet with a hefty overclock. And whenever there's 'overclock' in the branding .. there is of course Guru3D.com
