We already know a fair bit about NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce GTX 460 GPU. Based on the GF104 die and clocked in at 675MHz core, 1,350MHz for the 336 shaders, and 3,600MHz GDDR5 memory, there will be two variants, differentiated by the amount of onboard memory and, dictated by architecture, the memory-bus width.

Word on the street is that the 1,024MB model will have a 256-bit bus and the 768MB version a 192-bit interface. Early pricing puts the 768MB GTX 460 at £175 and the better of the two card at £199.



Adding fuel to the pre-release fire, Newegg has listed various GeForce GTX 460 cards, albeit without pricing details.

The Palit listing details a 1,024MB card that's overclocked to 725MHz core and 1,450MHz shaders straight out of the box, reinforcing the belief that NVIDIA will let vendors ship pre-overclocked models on, or very near, the day of launch.

The ASUS listing, meanwhile, 'confirms' the existence of the 768MB card, complete with 192-bit interface.

Just how the cards play out in the mid-range GPU landscape will be known very soon, but a 750MHz-plus clocked GTX 460 is sure to give the incumbent GTX 465 a few headaches.

Thanks to Fudzilla for the tip.

I've heard rumours that the GTX460 will support the bitstream of HD audio codecs like DOLBY TrueHD and DTS-MA does anybody know any more about this?

Could be interesting if true for fans of NVIDIA cards who are building HTPC's as previously they can only support 7.1 LPCM

Which version? The GF104-based 460 or the GF100-based 460? If it's not already on the 465/470/480 then I don't think we'll see it on the GF100-based 460 either. The gf104 however.. who knows?

I thought the GTX 460 was GF104 based anyway? I didn't think there was a GF100 based 460 due?

I appreciate the GF100 is not capable of bitstreaming the audio codecs but as the GF104 chip is a new design they have been able to implement this feature.

I guess we'll find out next week :)

Hopefully not, but there is at least one source claiming even more cut down GF100 are also going to be sold as 460s.
