GeForce GTX 460 is said to arrive in June and during Computex 2010 it is slated to appear. The rumors and leaks have now been revitalized as the first GeForce GTX 460 graphics card has been listed. MSI N460GTX-M2D1G 1280MB has appeared at numerous European retailers.
The name makes things a bit uncertain, earlier rumors suggested 1024MB memory, but this one is called MSI N460GTX-M2D1G 1280MB..
GeForce GTX 460 will according to rumors sport 384 CUDA processors, 48 texture units and 32 ROPs. This should translate into 256-bit memory bus for the GDDR5 memory, and for that to make sense it should 1024MB. We’re suspecting a typo somewhere, or the previous rumors were wrong.
