Hardly something to laugh at, under any circumstances.
OT; more information would certainly be appreciated.  |
Yes, im aware a OC'd 460GTX can near match a 470GTX, but then you can OC the 470GTX.....and so on..., but no, the 6870 is a better card performance wise eg. DX10 Vantage: 460GTX=12454 / 6870= 16120 and basically vastly superior in all games.
Both the 5870+6870 can be had for a snip at under £199 and give excellent performance @ 1600x1200 res+ i would take either before a 460GTX.
True the 460GTX is a great mainstream card, and undoubtably the best card out of the first Fermi range, but it has been bettered, by the newer ATI mainstream range.
