The Galaxy GTX 460 GC 768MB card proved to be an exceptional performer in all the testing we put it through. We like the unique design Galaxy has used and the fact that the fan can be fully removed. The cooling system was very effective but far from quiet. The noise level of the fan was clearly audible over the rest of the fans used in our test system but not loud enough to make us want to remove the card for a quieter solution. If we were looking at a HTPC setup we would probably look elsewhere or at least purchase an aftermarket cooler to reduce noise levels.
Other than fan noise we really have nothing else negative to say about this card. In many situations it performed beyond our expectations and would definitely be a good scoop for anyone looking for performance without shelling out a fortune. We have absolutely no problem recommending this card and feel it easily qualifies for our “worth buying” award. It can be purchased in Canada from NewEgg.ca

Well this came out of the blue! I have heard a few good things about these boards and deservedly so by the looks of it. seems like a radical design well done. Nice review Steve, enjoyed reading this one.

I concur with other people though this is a great looking little card at a fantastic price. what are the noise levels like ?

Wish more manufacturers would let you remove the fan like this, I know powercolor did it on one of their cards recently but it was a crappy ATI 5770 I think. this is much more like it. Do they make a 1GB version of this?

this is rather good for being one of the makes we normally laugh at. pricing is also excellent, but I wouldnt touch a 768mb card. maybe 1gb. good on a budget however.

I have just bought this card and i think it is just amazing for the price range that it is in. it has great overclocking potential e.g. standard clock 675mhz vs good overclock 850mhz. So galaxy has lived up to its name to let only the products that meet the “GALAXY” overclocking mark through to its production.
