Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460 SOC review @ Guru3D

SOC cards are more than a retooled PCB.  They feature things like a hefty factory overclock, voltage adjustments, dual mode bios, and custom WindForce 2X cooler.  Basically everything you will need so you won't have to mod the card later.

Gigabyte has released a handful of GeForce GTX 460 cards, based on the reference design with a slight overclock, yet also an SOC series graphics card which is a factory overclocked model with the new WindForce 2X based cooler sitting on top of that GPU.

Now we've already seen a couple of models based on this cooling solution, but the Gigabyte card really is something special as it is the fastest factory clocked 1024MB SKU out on the market.

We recently looked at the GTX 470 edition of this card and found it to be quite nice, could even be better with a touch of LN2.
