The GTX 460 might be the entry-level flagship of the latest Fermi set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most budget PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTS 450 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 129. NVIDIA ’s xx50 cards have always been defined by budget prices with performance that knocks on the door of entry-level graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Fermi graphics card inside the GTS 450, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
