You're exactly right, the 460 is not a card you should 5 box with while using multisampling. In fact, I
wouldn't even use multisampling at all while multiboxing on my GTX 580 3GB.

Just to clarify, although the 6950/70's are better then the 460; if the choice is 460 2G vs. 6970 1G I would still go with the 460, for multiboxing purposes.
If its 2G vs. 2G then the 6950 or 6970 are superior.
Nope, never used it, but I was impressed at its price/performance/heat output compared to other iterations of the then quite new Fermi architecture.
Oh, and I ran 5 clients at 3240x1920 on a SINGLE 5850 1GB with acceptable performance. Also, with two cards, instead of running the clients in 1/4 split config you should have run them in a 2/3, allowing more consistent high performance overall. It's almost a "why bother" situation in my opinion if you run a 1/4 split.
While multiboxing, I see little to no reason to have multisampling, simply because it's a drain on system resources and jaggies don't really bother me.
Hah, I win!
