Not an Installation issue, moving to Multimedia and Games...

Re: Nvidia gtx 460

Did you install all of the other relevant packages like nvidia-libgl and nvidia-utils (and lib32-nvidia-libgl and lib32-nvidia-utils)?

Re: Nvidia gtx 460

The output of

 $ pacman -Q | grep nvidia

can be helpful.

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but I've used this on multiple computers.

(Im not sure if GTX 460 can run the latest 346 driver from nvidia - if not you'll have to install the old version - you should check the version they recommend at www.nvidia.com)

Re: Nvidia gtx 460

460 GTX can use the latest drivers - have one myself and it is still supported.

When I recently installed Arch all I needed to do was to install latest blob without blacklisting nouveau.

My current list of nvidia packages:

lib32-nvidia-libgl 
lib32-nvidia-utils
nvidia
nvidia-ck-k10
nvidia-libgl
nvidia-utils
opencl-nvidia

Re: Nvidia gtx 460

I ran into this problem too, somehow an upgrade switched me over to "mesa-libgl"

Running this resolved the issue:

pacman -S nvidia-libgl

... then restart X.
