In 2010 when Fermi based cards launched, the GTX 480 wan't considered to be very successful. Later when GF104 (GTX 460) appeared, there were speculations if using fully active GF104 wouldn't have been better for gaming purposes. So I took the opportunity to see how this turns out.
I used the best case scenario for the smaller Fermi - GTX 560 Ti (GF110) overclocked to 1 GHz and put it against stock GTX 480.
