GeForce GTX 460 Gainward Golden Sample 2GB Edition Game Requirement Analysis
GeForce GTX 460 Gainward Golden Sample 2GB Edition is a special edition of the high-end GeForce GTX 460.
In this edition, the core-clock was increased to 700MHz and the frame buffer was doubled to 2GB though this will not boost its performance and can be addressed as a gimmick - marketing to lure consumers into paying more for the same product.
A new more effective and efficient cooling system is also featured.
The overclocking is not significant and benchmarks indicate a 3% boost when compared to the standard edition.
