14 DAY TRIAL // With NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 460 out in the open, and most of its partners already flooding the market with custom versions, it makes sense that Galaxy would also come out in full force. In fact, the hardware maker based in Hong Kong was actually able to outdo even ECS when it came to overclocking the GF104 graphics processing unit that powers the device. Not only that, but it even claims to offer the 'industry's first' detachable fan cooling technology.
Currently, Galaxy has four video boards on sale. Two of them have 1 GB of GDDR5 VRAM and a memory bandwidth of 256 bits, whereas the other two obviously have 'only' 768 MB of memory and an interface of 192 bits. All of them are factory overclocked, but the Super OC Editions are the real beasts of the series.
The GeForce GTX 460 GC editions have the GPU running at 700 MHz instead of just 675 MHz, as well as shader and memory clocks of 1,400 MHz (stock is 1350 MHz) and 3696 MHz, respectively. The GTX 460 Super OC models, on the other hand, push the GPU all the way up to 810 MHz, the shaders to 1,620 MHz and the GDDR5 to 4,000 MHz. Furthermore, the devices boast solid capacitors, for better stability, and are tested in a static-free environment in order to ensure that they meet the “Galaxy Clocked” standard.
“Our new Galaxy GTX 460 graphics cards offer out of this world realism and performance at a price that is simply amazing.” said Shane Vance, US Sales for Galaxy. “And the new detachable fan makes it even easier to keep your card in peak condition.”
Galaxy offers all four cards with 2-year limited warranties and 24 hour toll-free technical support. Unfortunately, the official press release doesn't give out any information on prices.
