Summary

Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 460

Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications.
Supports PhysX
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Fermi), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications

Reasons to consider Radeon R5 240 OEM

110 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 460 .
This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support.
Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute
Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty)
Supports Mantle
Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications

GeForce GTX 460
