Gigabyte’s GTX 460 768MB Gigabyte’s GTX 460 768MB  Shortly before this review went live, Gigabyte sent us their version of the GTX 460 768MB and it should give you a good idea of what to expect in the way of board partners’ cards. Its box is actually quite trimmed down from the massive affairs we are used to seeing with other GTX 400-series cards which should work quite well towards cutting back on shipping costs. One interesting thing to take note of is the inclusion of a sticker advertising the GTX 460’s ability to bitstream HD audio over HDMI. When it comes to accessories, there isn’t anything out of the ordinary as is befitting of a sub-$250 graphics card but all of the necessary items are included. What you get is adaptors for DVI to VGA and Mini HDMI to HDMI along with Molex to 6-pin PCI-E cables.  Gigabyte sticks to NVIDIA’s reference design for this particular card and it’s actually quite odd not to see the usual blue PCB usually associated with their cards. We’re sure that sometime down the road they will release an Ultra Durable version of the GTX 460 which will sport their signature colours but until that day, the black looks particularly stunning.   In the past, Gigabyte tended to use some odd designs for their heatsink stickers but they are gradually moving towards slightly more mature graphics. The ones on their GTX 460 continue the tradition of other 400-series cards with an industrial motif around the single 72mm fan. | ||||
