It took more time than expected but finally NVIDIA was able to counterattack and turn around the tables on ATI last month with the release of the GeForce GTX 460. This is the first product on NVIDIA’s current-gen offerings that will make their competition sweat. Seriously, the GeForce GTX 460 has it all, the right price, amazing performance, unbelievable overclocking headroom and excellent efficiency.

Not surprisingly this release forced ATI to make a few price cuts, most prominently the Radeon HD 5830 is now available for $200. But that’s not going to be enough to steal the new GeForce’s thunder. We still prefer the GeForce GTX 460 as there are many factory overclocked 1GB boards that cost around $230 and deliver performance that can match the Radeon HD 5850 and in some cases the GeForce GTX 470.

When wrapping up our initial GeForce GTX 460 coverage on launch day we mentioned the interesting thought of running two 1GB cards in SLI which would cost a whisker less than $500. This matches the price of a single GeForce GTX 480 that on paper would appear to be the slower alternative.
