Nvidia went a little different on these GPU's and both models have 336 Shaders but they have subtle differences in design. The 1GB model has a wider memory bus at 256 bit and the 768MB card has 192 bit memory bus. Having two GTX-460's is a little confusing so we will be referring to them as the GTX-460 768 and GTX-460 1GB. The GTX-460 1GB has 32 ROPs and the 768MB model has 24 ROP's. SO our major differences on the two card are the 1GB card has 256MB more memory, 8 more ROP's and 64bit more memory bus. The projected prices on the cards are 199 USD for the 768MB model and 229 USD for the 1GB model. If you are stuck on a monitor with 1680x1050 resolution then the 768MB model will probably be great, if you plan on going to 1920x1200 or have a 1920x1200 monitor then it's likely you'll want the 1GB model. For the extra 30 USD bucks we'd say hold out and get the 1GB model, thirty bucks for a small measure of future proofing is a small price to pay.
