Gary escribió:El SLI es interno en la tarjeta. Nada tiene que ver con la tarjeta madre, a menos que los 12 voltios no sean suficientes en el slot PCI-E. Eso si seria coherente.

si gary asi deberia ser en principio, y funcionaria como una 9800gx2, 295, 590 etc, pero al parecer necesitas una mobo con 2 pcie para poder montar 1 de estas vga cuando ya aca roza en lo incoherente porque si tengo 2 pcie compro 2 460 y cuesta menos Xd

So I bought this card and had it overnighted and received it on Tuesday. Popped it in installed the drivers off he CD and after looking in the device manager it showed up as two GTX 460 cards. One showed up fine with the drivers installed and the second showed up but it had a yellow alert icon on it. Did the normal troubleshooting and figured it was the usuall SLI problem of my realtek nics causing the problem but it wasn't. After a full day of troubleshooting I found out I had failed to realize that my mobo did not support SLI and did support Crossfire only.

So before you buy this card even though it's a all in one card it's configured to show up just as any SLI configuration will.

1. You mobo must be able to support SLI or this card wont work.
2. Card shipped with Nvidia 266.85 drivers I believe.
3. Though card is big I had no problems fitting this into my case.

I did for the record pop this into my brothers machine which does support SLI and the card worked like a champ.

Anyways yes I know what I just said might be newb and obvious just letting people know what problem I ran into.

My new sandy bridge mobo,cpu and ram arrive today once I have everything up with this new GTX 460 2win I'll post benchmark results.

First time poster, cheers.

If that really does end up being the case (did you contact EVGA support?) that is a HUGE blow to this card. None of the current documentation mentions this at all (that I have found). If you have to have a SLI board in the first place what is the point really?



I did infact contact EVGA support and after having told them the troubleshooting steps I did they at first thought the hardware might be at fault but after doing a clean install of the card TWICE they said maybe my bios wasn't up to snuff but I did direct the support tech to my mobo's page and everything he said the card required was infact there. PCI 2.0 ect ect we even went into the bios to make sure my volts to support the power this card needed was correct and everything was fine. The only thing that had not been done was trying it in another system but he was convinced it was my bios. Like I said though we both obviously missed the fact that my mobo was Crossfire only and not SLI supported.

Hay la posibilidad que la 2win no exista en los drivers como una sola tarjeta, sino como un sli de 460 y por lo tanto la mobo tiene que aceptar sli.

Con la GTX 590 no pasaría esto puesto que los drivers la reconocen como una sola tarjeta a pesar de ser dual gpu.

Pero a estas alturas del partido con nuevas series le quita ya la emocion. Esta VGA en noviembre/diciembre del 2010 hubiese sido un gran win en ventas.

DeepPurple23 escribió:I received this card today and what follows here is a quick down and dirty review. I have not tried to OC the card yet so everything here is stock and I'm sure that everything will improve as I move forward. In any event here we go. I also have a GTX 580 SC so I will compare everything against that card at "stock" settings. The most recent driver that works for the GTX 460 2Win is the 266.58, so the two newer versions do not see the card, additionally, 3DMark calls it "Generic".

The first thing I'll say is that black plastic cover, IS NOT PLASTIC, it is metal and EXTREMELY nice. It gives the card a great feel and it really makes me wonder where that twin fan card is, and what that card is...I'm adding new cards to my setup and that might be one I'd like to put into the setup somewhere. BTW, the lit EVGA logo on top of the card is a nice touch as well. Congratz to EVGA on a well made card I've noticed as the day has gone on and I've stress the card more, the temps are coming down. I was folding in the 80s earlier today and now I'm 69 on one and 73 on the other. The fans are really quiet up until about 60% then you start to hear them, and they can get fairly loud at 100%, of course with the card at 84C the fans are at 46%ish and you don't hear them. I did not notice a rise in my CPU temps with this card and I don't have a great airflow case in the Corsair 800D, of course I've worked pretty hard to get the airflow to be better than normal.

Benchmarks:
3DMark11:
GTX460 2Win: P6069 and X2042
GTX 580SC: P6222 and X2041

Vantage:
GTX460 2Win: 30,875
GTX 580SC: 31,386

3DMark 06:
GTX460 2Win: 27,516
GTX580SC: 27,570

So you see that this card hangs with a 580SC on the bench marks, both at stock. I've only played two games so far I run a 24" monitor with my res at 1920X1080P. Most the settings are cranked up near the top, but not everything there.
Homefront - I average around 62 FPS with the 580SC. It appears that the drivers do not support the SLI for this game as Precision is telling me I am between 35 and 40 FPS. But it doesn't feel like that, it feels the same as the 580SC, so I don't know if there is a misreport some where or if was just enough that I really didn't notice the difference;
Metro 2033 - This game is brutal on cards, with the 580SC I bounce between 48 and 60 FPS. With the GTX460 2Win, the FPS are similar at 50 to 62.
Lastly, Folding, which is really hard on cards. On a 580SC I average 17-18K Points Per Day. With the GTX460 2Win, I'm pulling PPD of 22-26K, so a large increase, but that was expected due to all the extra cores.

I know that you can't SLI this card, etc. But if you're looking for a single card with great performance (matches a 580SC) for $80 less, this is the card.

Let me know if you have any questions. Once I play a little with the OC, I'll report back.

EDIT: updated OC results below.
