How about GTX460 graphics card? ——Review and performance analysis of classic graphics cards
Among the hot topics in the past 10 days, technology enthusiasts have continued to discuss old hardware, especially the performance and cost-effectiveness of the classic graphics card GTX460. This article will analyze the specifications, performance and current market applicability of GTX460 to help users understand the actual situation of this graphics card.
1. Basic specifications of GTX460 graphics card
| parameters | numerical value |
|---|---|
| Architecture | Fermi |
| Core code name | GF104 |
| Number of CUDA cores | 336 |
| Video memory capacity | 1GB/768MB GDDR5 |
| Video memory bit width | 256-bit/192-bit |
| core frequency | 675MHz |
| Memory frequency | 3600MHz |
| TDP power consumption | 160W |
2. Performance of GTX460
GTX460 was released in 2010 and was once a popular choice in the mid-to-high-end graphics card market. Its performance was enough to cope with mainstream games at the time, such as "Call of Duty: Black Ops" and "Battlefield: Bad Company 2". The following is its game frame rate performance at 1080P resolution (based on historical test data):
| Game name | Image quality settings | Average frame rate (FPS) |
|---|---|---|
| "Call of Duty: Black Ops" | High quality | 45-50 |
| "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" | medium quality | 40-45 |
| "Crysis" | Low quality | 25-30 |
It should be noted that the above data are based on the test environment of that year. Now in higher resolutions and modern games, the performance of GTX460 will drop significantly.
3. Current applicability of GTX460
1.Gaming performance: GTX460 can no longer run modern 3A masterpieces smoothly, but it can still barely cope with lightweight games such as "League of Legends" and "CS:GO" (low image quality).
2.Power consumption and heat dissipation: The 160W TDP and single-fan design are inefficient under today’s standards, so you need to pay attention to heat dissipation issues during long-term use.
3.second hand market: The current second-hand price is about 100-200 yuan, suitable for users with extremely low budgets or collectors.
4. GTX460 vs modern entry-level graphics cards
| Comparative item | GTX460 | GTX1650 |
|---|---|---|
| Release time | 2010 | 2019 |
| performance gap | benchmark | about 3 times |
| Power consumption | 160W | 75W |
| second hand price | 100-200 yuan | 600-800 yuan |
5. Summary
As a generation of classic graphics cards, GTX460 once won the market with its high cost performance, but now it can no longer meet mainstream needs. Its only advantages are extremely low price and nostalgic value, making it suitable for the following groups of people:
1. Second-hand buyers with extremely limited budget;
2. Old game lovers;
3. Hardware collectors.
If you have basic requirements for performance, it is recommended to choose at least a GTX1050Ti or newer graphics card. The technology industry is changing with each passing day, and the iteration speed of graphics card performance is far faster than expected. Only by making rational choices can you get the best experience.
