Hi guys,
Just relax, and use the upcoming 2.3 intermediate, it has support for these new cards and will make them render 1.5x faster.

3 new 2gb 460 cards out there Palit, Gainward and Sparkle !!
around 230€ a piece for the 2GB versions
runs 17°c cooler than a 470chip consumes 160W max and overclocks from stock 675 core to 925MHZ !! (+20% ) making it the same speed as 470 and more memory to boot !!
check them out ...

Octane Render heats the card as much as Furmark, so overclocking leads just to instability and program crashes. It depends on how good ventilation the computer case has and how hot the air is, but usually overclocking a GPU-rendering card is not a good idea!
Anyways, if you have the money, why not buy two 2 GB GTX 460 cards? The new 400-series cards scale really well from one GPU to multiple GPU's.

It would be nice to think they can be made to do more work in the future but I wouldnt bank on it.
It seems they might need cuda 3.2 and some code optimisation in Octane.
Make your decision on the basis of heat, noise, power supply, memory size, price, and current performance
