GeForce GTX 460 768MB

Model frame rate limits of 10, 7 and 4 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, assuming the processor never gets in the way.

The GeForce GTX 460 768MB is one of the slowest graphics card in our database and best kept to 1080p at medium settings, or to lighter esports titles.

Its 0.75GB of memory forces texture settings down in most games released in the last few years.

Its closest AMD rival is the Radeon RX 570 4GB, which is 300% faster at 1440p.

Estimated FPS in Popular Games

Game (settings) 1080p1440p4K
Cyberpunk 2077 (High, no ray tracing) ~10~5~5
Fortnite (High, DirectX 12) ~15~10~5
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (High) ~10~10~5
Counter-Strike 2 (High) ~25~15~10

Modelled estimates with a processor fast enough not to hold the card back, rounded to the nearest 5 FPS. Counter-Strike 2 is usually limited by the processor well before these figures. See the methodology for how they are produced.

Notice how the requirement drops as resolution rises. At 4K this card is working so much harder per frame that a far slower processor keeps up without trouble. The search starts at four cores and eight threads: below that a game stutters whatever the average frame rate says.

Common Questions

What CPU do I need for the GeForce GTX 460 768MB?

In our model the Ryzen 5 1600 is the slowest processor that keeps the GeForce GTX 460 768MB fully fed at both 1080p and 1440p. Anything faster leaves the card as the limit, which is what you want in a gaming PC.

Is the GeForce GTX 460 768MB good for 1440p?

Only with reduced settings. It averages around 7 FPS at 1440p on high settings in our model, so it is better suited to 1080p, where it reaches about 10 FPS.

Is 0.75GB of VRAM enough on the GeForce GTX 460 768MB?

Not for recent games at high settings. 0.75GB means turning textures down in most titles from the last few years, even at 1080p.

Is the GeForce GTX 460 768MB faster than the Radeon RX 570 4GB?

No. The Radeon RX 570 4GB is about 300% faster at 1440p in our model (28 vs 7 FPS).
