GTX 460 (768MB) vs HD 5830 Performance Shootout
3DMark Vantage
3DMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed to test the DirectX10 performance of your graphics card. It is the latest addition to the 3DMark series. As it is a DX10-only benchmark, it only runs on Windows Vista and Windows 7. 3DMark Vantage is composed of four full-bore benchmarking tests (2 CPU tests and 2 GPU tests) and 6 feature tests. This test makes good use of multi-core CPUs and can even use Nvidia’s PhysX technology on its GeForce line-up of video cards.
At stock, the GTX 460 demonstrates some level of superiority by beating the HD 5830 by over 1,200 points. When overclocked, it totally dominated and won by 2,999 points.
Great article to show the gtx 460 dominance. The 460 would be the better buy if both cards were in the same price range but today……..
While the hd5830 currently is in the $170-$180 range, the gtx 460 768mb is actually $140 to $150 on Newegg right now. These ones are clocked like the one in this review. You can actually get highly overclocked models for $160 and up which would be that much better than the hd5830. Right now Nvidia is untouchable with this price/performance segment. Its unbelievable.
So if you thought this was great news and a useful article you now are informed it gets even better as the gtx460 768mb cost up to 25% less than the hd5830 while consistently outperforming it as shown in this review.
I have posted an update in the conclusion of this article. The GTX 460 (768MB) definitely takes this contest and with those much cheaper prices, does so with one hand tied behind its back.
at the moment, I could get a 5830 for about $30 less than a gtx 460 768mb. Which one should I go for? I think i’m going for the 5830 because i’m on a tight budget. does anyone thing I should get the gtx 460 instead? Thanks in advance!
Hermoso trabajo, la verdad me sacaron de un apuro nya que estaba por cambiar mi GTX640 Gigabyte por una HD5830 XFX pero con esto tengo un comentario mas a favor de la GTX460.
Gracias.
