Zotac GeForce GTX 460 1GB : Great card at £200

Now we have a monster here, the first GF104 based card, the GTX 460, and what's great about it, you ask? Well, it simply trumps the GTX 460, and with enough headroom for overclocking, beats the Radeon HD 5850, reaches the mark on GTX 470, and almost at par with Radeon 5870 except at very haigh resolutions. All this at about £200 only!

PERFORMANCE
Let the figures speak to you themselves(all figures in frames per second, the higher, the better)

Heaven Benchmark 2.0 DirectX11(2560x1600)
GTX 460 1GB - 13
GTX 460 1GB O.C - 15
GTX 460 768MB - 8
Radeon HD 5850 - 10

 DiRT 2 DirectX11 (2560x1600/1680x1050)
GTX 460 1GB - 40/73
GTX 460 1GB O.C - 45/83
GTX 460 768MB -31/67
Radeon HD 5850 - 42/65

Just Cause 2 DirectX10 (2560x1600/1680x1050)
GTX 460 1GB - 19/37
GTX 460 1GB O.C - 22/41
GTX 460 768MB - 18/35
Radeon HD 5850 - 19/36

So what we have here is the winner of a card, that fits perfectly in the mid range segment while giving some competition to the high end cards. Moreover, the new GF104 architecture is better than the GF100 architecture and dissipates much less heat while giving amazing performance.
