Some leaked marketing slides reveal details regarding Gigabyte's upcoming GeForce GTX 460 768MB (GV-N460D5-768I-B) graphics card. This model has a MSRP of $199 and should deliver performance close to ATI's Radeon HD 5830, it has a 675MHz core, 1350MHz shaders and 768MB GDDR5 memory clocked at 3800MHz. The official launch dat is July 12.

The GTX 460, according to the company, is said to perform "close" to generic ATI Radeon HD 5830. The keyword here is "close", as HD 5830 is still the faster card.

Gigabyte also demonstrated the card in a variety of games and benchmarks, where it was pitted against GeForce GTX 465, Radeon HD 5830, and some older GeForce 200 series cards. Tests included 3DMark06, 3DMark Vantage (performance preset) and 3DMark Vantage (extreme preset). While in 3DMark06 and 3DMark Vantage (P) it outpaces the HD 5830, the HD 5830 edges past it in 3DMark Vantage (X). The two also trade blows in DirectX 11 benchmarks. While the GTX 460 maintains some lead over the HD 5830 in older game tests, the HD 5830 does manage to outperform in some tests.
