Rumours says that NVIDIA is almost ready to release their latest GPU line. After the release of their Fermi cards, GeForce GTX 480, GTX 470, and GTX 465, now they are preparing to release Geforce GTX 460. This video card GPU reported to use GF104 chip.
As we know, GF104 is “lowered” version of GF100. Many reviews around state that GF100 is too much power consuming, and too hot as you can cook an egg on it. Although their latest GF100 card (GTX 465) with lowered SP, at peak only reach 87 degrees celcius.
What about GTX 460? Look at these pictures
The battle of older and younger brother. In this review we will doing some test on 2 different generation video cards. HD 4670 came from Radeon 4000-series, which released on Q4 2008, and HD 5670 is on AMD’s latest GPU series, 5000-series. With different technology and fabrication, its almost sure that the Radeon HD 5670 can easily beat the older Radeon HD 4670.

Lets see how it look like,
Looks ferocious huh?
