EVGA GeForce GTX 460 2Win, a dual-GPU love affair

EVGA GeForce GTX 460 2Win, a dual-GPU love affair

Coming out in the nick of time, EVGA announced its first dual-Fermi GPU video card, the GeForce GTX 460 2Win. As usual, the company goes with very funky and enthusiast oriented naming, just like their top end cards having the tag “FTW”. This is essentially a dual-GPU card with two GeForce GTX 460 chips, though I wonder why they didn’t go for GTX 560 instead.

In terms of specs, you’ve got the 700 MHz GPU, 672 CUDA Cores, 400 MHz RAMDAC. It packs 2048 MB of 512 bit GDDR5 running at 3600 MHz (effective) with 230.4 GB/s memory bandwidth. Of course, by having two Fermi chips, this card will turn into a power hungry monster despite the GTX 460 originally being a very balanced card. To power up this bad boy, you’ll need a minimum of 700 watt power supply, and two 8-pin PCI-E power dongles. The EVGA recommends a minimum power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 46 Amps.

Well, it’s either you go for this dual-Fermi GTX 460 2Win, or you could sell of your kidney and get the just-launched dual-Fermi GTX 590 beast.
