Galaxy GTX460 GC Edition is a graphic card well worth your money and is going in with Nvidia for the higher range cards available but still has problems with heating up.
The Galaxy GTX460 GC has got an enhanced cooling pipe architecture and also gives higher performance. Basically available in 760MB and 1GB capacities but both has its own kind of texture loading performance difference.
Making the 1GB card an actual upgrade from the 760MB card. The GTX 460 is still fabricated on the 40nm process but the internal structure has been revised, leaving the new GF104 core with 1.95 billion transistors compared to 3 billion on all previous Fermi cards. This should bring down the power consumption by lowering the heat produced. The shader count has been reduced to 384 CUDA cores but due to yield issues the GTX 460 will come with 336 CUDA cores instead. This will be available in two memory variants, 768MB and 1GB, both GDDR5 memory.
For the first time these two variants will have more than just a memory difference. The 768MB version will have only 24 ROPs (full 32 on the 1GB) and a 192-bit memory bus (full 256-bit on the 1GB). The rest of the specification remains the same, which means this time around when you pay more for the 1GB version, not only are you getting a little more video RAM but also some much needed performance improvement as the 256-bit coupled with 1GB should really help when loading large textures at high resolutions.
