The results in this chart may be too close to accurately see any difference, there are some interesting things going on here. The GTX 460 cards are able to stay out in front of the HD 5830 with and without tessellation turned on but the impact of the higher detail setting is identical to the ATI card. That means the GTX 465 is gradually able to claw back some territory as the tests progressed.
Performance at 2560 x 1600 does take a nose dive especially with the 768MB card so let’s hope you have no plan on running either of these GTX 460 cards on a $1000 monitor.
