    460m 192bit would win most of the benchies I'd bet, especially at higher resolutions.

    460m 192 bit rate wins, it reads faster than 128bit.
    Unless the 560m is 192 bit too, but it's not.

    Gtx560m will oc better since stock clocks are already higher than vanilla gtx460m.
    A good oc should keep the difference between the two buses to the minimum, but keep in mind that the 192bit gtx460m OCs very well, the standard is 800/1600/1550.

    The bandwidth is equivalent to the fill rate, not the total processing power. So it depends on what you're doing with it - depending on the game, they'll perform differently. A game that loads the vram once will run faster on the 560m, but if it is loading/reloading textures constantly, the higher bandwidth will feed the 460m better.

    And considering they're roughly equivalent anyways ... I don't think it matters.
