GTX 460 seen!! (engadget link)

NVIDIA shows 16 new Optimus laptops at Computex, teases GTX 460M GPU -- Engadget

 

Thanks, but hould have posted in different area

 

Like the MSI forums since it's in their just announced new notebook.

1. Buy MSI GT760
2. Take out GTXm 460 and put into m17x
3. Use the remainder of MSI laptop as a paper weight
4. ???
5. Profit!

 

You just might find an SLi connector on those cards too....since one site's reporting MSI might release a dual GPU version.

 

i would assume the GTX 460 be the succesor for the M15x graphics card as well. It would be interesting to see if GTX 460 is stronger or ATI 5850...Though I'm guessing GTX460 would take the cake...

 

might have to wait a little bit longer for the m15x then, maybe it'll be at e3?

 

Eh, at 17 inches I'm more inclined to believe that it's just the 480m

 

STICKERS DONT LIE!

 

Haha quite right, I was only looking at the card. Judging from the stories I hear about the GX640's heat problems with an ATI MR HD 5850 I'm not sure we want themm cramming a GTX 480m into one of their laptops anways.

 

The new chassis designs for the GT660 and GT760 are larger and thicker than the old MSI gaming chassis...which, not for nothing, were pretty solid handling heat up until the Mob. HD5800 cards.

agreed.. man i saw this article on engagdet but i didn't see the GTX460M part.. wth..

 

The Japanese(?) site PC Watch got a screen shot of a GF108ES GPU in the msi FX700 which other reports have mentioned will use the GT 430M.

Scroll down past the tablets.



96 Cores
560/1120/800Mhz Clocks
1Gb DDR3 on a 128bit bus
DX11

 

I wonder why that has ddr3? Even with a 128 bus, ddr5 would really speed things up... perhaps the chips get too hot/unstable/draw too much power with it?

 

Because Alienware is so awsome, right?

1. Take alienware
2. Stick where sun don't shine
3. ???
4. Profit

 

Because that's their mainstream product, not the enthusiast version. It will still be better than the HD 5730 and around or slightly worse than the HD 5830, which it is supposed to compete with.

 

You are quite right.

 

With those clocks, it'll be right at the performance of the GDDR3 GTS 260M, probably better when DX11 is in use.

 

And the GF106-ES in an ASUS G53.

 

Ah, so it looks like the panic about the G53 having only a 350m was unfounded. Hurray.

 

Could still be a 450M.

 

You're an evil man for putting such doubts in my head, Phin.

 

If GF106 is the GTX460M then GF104 (desktop GTX460) would likely be the GTX 470M.

The GF106 should be somewhere between the 240 cores/768Mb GDDR5/192bit bus of the GF104 and the 96 cores/1Gb DDR3/128bit bus of the GF108.

 

It seems to me more like just more rebranding on the lower spec cards.

 

That doesn't make sense. GF10x = a Fermi core.

 

Not to burst your bubble on the mobile vs. desktop, but for nvidia, this is going to be one of the few times they will use a basic card design from the same generation. Until the 300s, they were using modified 8000 and people were off the wall about them not being closer to the desktop version. Ati, used a 5770 underclocked for their 5870 mobile base, and that is actually about the best you can expect. The gtx 480m is an underclocked gtx 465 which, if you find benchmarks for, is pretty conveniently close in performance. Nvidia has been great for games, in fact some game manufacturers make games specifically for their cards, but their one laptop downfall has been power consumption (gtx 480m is almost unconscionably power hungry without its special, and quite successful, power optimizer mode) and that only Ati consistently uses cards from the same generation, still not the same as desktop cards. Notebookcheck us one place that does their homework comparatively well to other sites on the base cards, but then the underclocking makes the desktop comparisons null. Even the 5870 as a mobile card had to have reduced power to fit what they needed after release (in a software update to fix the g73 grey screen they capped power at 50W, which is now their standard). Ironically WEI is the only benchmark that noticed (3D mark did not and people say the experience index is crap), while all the games dropped in framerate for what should have been nearly the same computer reviewed at a later date. The long and short is that all we can do is wait for the actual cards to come out, and at best, compare the card's power efficiency, as the more efficient base card tends to come out on top after underclocking, although factors such as the gtx 480m getting a 100W cap compared to the 5870 50W cap can also sway the contest.
