NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 460: The $200 King

HAWX

Ubisoft’s aerial action game is one of the less demanding games in our benchmark suite, particularly for the latest generation of cards. However it’s fairly unique in that it’s one of the few flying games of any kind that comes with a proper benchmark.

HAWX is a more balanced game and less overall demanding game, giving us yet another look at another scenario. Once more the advantages of the 1GB card shine through, while the overclocks on our other cards can close the gap. The GTX 465 once more falls to the GTX 460 1GB, and for AMD it doesn’t look good, as this is a game NVIDIA traditionally does well in. Here the 768MB GTX 460 simply crushes the 5830, and even the 5850 falls to the 1GB GTX 460.
