Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 Razor 1GB – Single Slot Gaming

Testing Configurations

The new Galaxy GTX 460 1GB Razor card is going to be priced at $249 – higher than other GXT 460 options to be sure.  That being said, the cost difference that Galaxy is asking for is not to indicate better performance (we already know the clock speeds are standard reference settings) but instead for the unique form factor it provides.  In our benchmarking I wanted to point out where it sat in the performance lineup rather than the pricing lineup. 

So, for our performance evaluation, you’ll see it setup like this:

• Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 1GB Razor – $249
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 1GB – $189
  
• AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB – $200
  
• AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB – $170
