Inno3D GTX 460 1GB OC Review

Testing:

Unigine Heaven Benchmark 2.0 is a DirectX 11 GPU benchmark based on the Unigine engine. What sets the Heaven Benchmark apart is the addition of hardware tessellation, available in three modes; Moderate, Normal and Extreme. Although tessellation requires a video card with DirectX 11 support and Windows Vista/7, the Heaven Benchmark also supports DirectX 9, DirectX 10 and OpenGL. Visually, it features beautiful floating islands that contain a tiny village and extremely detailed architecture.

Settings

• 4xAA
• 16xAF
• Shaders = High
• Tesselation = Normal
• Measurement = FPS

Higher = Better

Unigine shows the lessened tessellation capabilities - when overclocked, the GTX 465 left the GTX 460 in the dust. However, the Inno3D GTX 460 did score in the region of the single core ATI 5800s.
