GTX 460 1GB SC EE Specs



The clock speeds of the 1GB SC version are identical to those of the pre-overclocked 768MB card but the added memory should allow the slightly more expensive version to pull out ahead. It will also be interesting to see just how much an impact these increased clock speeds have on performance since they are quite significant for a GTX 400-series product.


Packaging & Accessories




EVGA’s packaging is straightforward but we were actually quite surprised there wasn’t any mention of the “External Exhaust” anywhere on the front of the box. There is a picture of the card in the back but that’s the only visual clue you would have that the card within isn’t your normal GTX 460. We do however happen to like EVGA’s new environmentally friendly interior packaging scheme as it provides great protection while being entirely biodegradable.

The accessories are the usual basic fare with adaptors for power, DVI to VGA and mini HDMI to HDMI all included. There is also a case badge, large case sticker and a CD including EVGA’s excellent Precision overclocking utility.
