NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce GTX 460 is no stranger around these parts, but whilst we've been privy to the GPU's specification, we're only now starting to see prospective European pricing.

According to a number of EU retailers - including pcking.de and computeruniverse.net - ASUS's take on the entry-level 768MB GTX 460 card will be priced at around €207 (roughly £170).

That tidy sum will buy you NVIDIA's revised GF104 die, complete with a core clocked at 675MHz, 336 CUDA processors clocked at 1,350MHz and 768MB of 3,600MHz GDDR5 memory hooked up to a 192-bit interface.

Whilst we've yet to see pricing for the beefier 1GB model - which, remember, carries a wider 256-bit memory bus - it's certain to be less than the £215 GTX 465. Our best guess would put the 1GB GTX 460 at the crucial £199 mark.

Worthy alternatives to the £165 Radeon HD 5830 and £230 Radeon HD 5850? Stay tuned for our definitive verdict next week.

Well if rumoured performance figures are anything to go by, this (these) will fill that price gap rather nicely.
At a guess they should beat the POS 5830 and get beaten by the 5850 and hopefully force a price drop in the whole 58xx series :)
Might be interested in the 1GB model.
I'm SO out of the loop on GPUs now. It even seems, to some degree, that you can't always go on price as an indicator of good card these days.

That's been a big issue in the GPU sector for several generations.

I'm interested in the fact that it's got 336 CUDA cores for £170 @ 675Mhz (~50p each)

vs. GTX 280 @ 600Mhz (£170, 240 cores) - 71p each
vs. GTX 470 @ 600Mhz (£250, 448 cores) - 56p each
vs. GTX 480 @ 700Mhz(£340, 480 cores) - 71p each

If you put it that way, the 460 may be the killer card in the CUDA lineup. Bung two or three in.
