I think I'm going to cut off my hands instead of facepalming. I don't know how any part of my post was not true when your article clearly states it's true.

 

The article that Spiral posted shows that the 460 has a lower idle power consumption than the 5850. The 5850 has a little less load power consumption but it's not a huge difference. I personally don't think it's worth the $70-$100 extra for the 5850 over the gtx 460.
