About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

GeForce GTX 460 vs GRID M60-1B: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 460

2010

Why buy it

  • ✅Costs $2,301 less on MSRP ($199 MSRP vs $2,500 MSRP).
  • ✅Delivers 1166.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 11.4 vs 0.9 G3D/$ ($199 MSRP vs $2,500 MSRP).
  • ✅Draws 160W instead of 225W, a 65W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • ❌Less VRAM, with 768 MB vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • ❌2010 hardware with 768 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

GRID M60-1B

2015

Why buy it
