NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 460: The $200 King

Wolfenstein

Finally among our revised benchmark suite we have Wolfenstein, the most recent game to be released using the id Software Tech 4 engine. All things considered it’s not a very graphically intensive game, but at this point it’s the most recent OpenGL title available. It’s more than likely the entire OpenGL landscape will be thrown upside-down once id releases Rage next year.

Light on the shader use, this game is more about the ROPs, which returns unsurprising results. The 1GB GTX 460 enjoys an 8% lead over the 768MB version, while the 768MB version enjoys a 7% lead over the 5830. Overclocking is fairly effective here, with the factory overclocked EVGA GTX 460 pulling ahead of the 1GB reference GTX 460.
