GTX 460 vs 560

[gamerxavier]

The 460 is a lot cheaper. What makes the 560 generally worth the extra hundred or so?

would it be a worthy upgrade from an HD 4850?

It's probably not quite worth $100 more. It's pretty much a 460 with better power and heat management and therefore comes with higher clock rates making it a bit more powerful.

are you comparing 560 Ti or 560?
the Ti edition makes a difference

The 560 ti can be overclocked and perform similarly to that of a stock gtx 570 but that is as far as it goes. The gtx 460 is more for economy and is a mid range card. If budget and need isn't that great then go for the gtx 460 but it is not built as well as the 560ti.
