Packaging & Contents »Introduction
NVIDIA recently launched their GeForce GTX 460 as price/performance king in the $200 segment. It is based on the all new 40 nm GF104 GPU which is based on the Fermi architecture introduced earlier this year. The GTX 460 is positioned at the lower end of the mid-range performance segment around the $200 price bracket.
Colorful is a Chinese graphics card manufacturer that is mostly unknown outside of the APAC region. In China they are one the of the most popular and well-respected AICs.
Their GeForce GTX 460 iGame is built for the enthusiasts and offers several unique features such as a dedicated Turbo switch and a large dual fan thermal solution. The iGame GTX 460 uses a completely custom designed PCB and comes with a nice overclock out of the box that can be enabled by using the Turbo button. We tested the card in both "Turbo" and "Normal" modes.
