Gigabyte GV-N460OC-768I – Ultra Durable with Windforce 2X

On the back plate, you can find a mini-HDMI port alongside two DVI connectors. The ventilation holes on top of those connectors serve as an exhaust, though we can’t be so sure of that since the design of the cooler suggests that it would also dump heat inside your casing. Nevertheless, it’s nice to have some alternative means to vent some of the excess heat generated by a modern graphics card. Two-slot design is a must these days is it not?

Just like the other GeForce GTX 460 cards, Gigabyte Gigabyte GV-N460OC-768I requires at least a 450 Watt Power Supply Unit in order to work properly. In addition, potential buyers should first make sure that they have sufficient amount of unused, 6-pin PCI-Express power connectors, since the graphics card draws power from two of those.

The Windforce 2X utilizes two heatpipes to maximize transfer heat from the GPU core to its aluminum fins.
