The GTX 460s are actually extremely efficient and don't use very much power. Nvidia have re-worked the Fermi architecture to draw less power, produce less heat and generally run cooler than the GF100 variations of the 470, 480 and indeed the 465.
2 GTX 460s can handle Metro 2033. You can get into the 50 fps with a little overclock.
AMD have the bang for buck gamer covered, but when it comes down to performance Intel it seems are the way to go. I'll be building an i7 950 rig in the coming weeks. How can say no to the 950 price drop. :)
Ouch!!
But my wallet is a little bit on the shy side right now. :P
Cool man, I was thinking of going with ATI and getting a 5870, but I would like to see a price-drop. For almost the same price I can get 2 x 460s which drastically outperform 1 x 5870, in some cases they can even outperform a 5970. :)
What ATI card are you using now?
