The new NVidia GeForce GTX465’s are now coming out, and Guru3D takes a pair of them from “Point Of View” and puts them through the paces in both single and SLI modes.
Armed with a smaller thermal print, noise levels and performance, NVIDIA is positioning this product in the 279 EUR price range bringing the Fermi architecture below the sub-300 USD price point. The GeForce GTX 465 will position itself in the most affordable graphics card segmented in lower spectrum of the high-end range. As such it will be targeted against the Radeon HD 5830 and should sit in-between that product and the Radeon HD 5850.
It’s a massive 21-page review that covers not just performance, but sound levels, power consumption, and more. The results: Impressive.
With that said, the card is definitely good enough and we certainly do like the GTX 465 for what it is. Your game performance will be good as you will be able to play games in high resolutions with very nice image quality settings. Overall, the performance is nice. Added benefits are of course purchasing a CUDA ready product, and PhysX support. …
Multi-GPU performance then. NVIDIA seriously does have Willy Wonka’s golden ticket in their hands when it comes to 2-way SLI performance. The scaling is just brilliant with each and every time we test it on a GTX 400 series card.
if u got a stock plate from nvidia (black one , shiny on the back, wit nvidia logo under the pci-express connector, than u probably have got 10 pieces of ram on board and u can easyli flash gtx470 firmware to your 465, it unlocks all, u got 470 than !!!!!!!
and the most idiotic thing is that the cards from chepest vendors are capp[able of that only !, because they got stock cardboard from nvidia hehhehe, the only lockdown and the deference between GTX 470 and GTX 465 are based on lockdown the fetures in bios 😀
i got TT gtx 465 flashed with 470bios, works as a charm, google it friends
I’ve just bought a GTX465 and have been impressed with it’s performance over my gts 250 sli setup. Cuda-cores have a significant advantage over ati. I am sorry that I didn’t go with an 470 with the extra v-ram for frame buffering. I believe that will matter more as dx11 games excel.
>.> I just never run out of things to add apparently. For anyone reading this post…please take the time to first check out the nVidia main site for driver updates if you plan on running ANY of the GF100 based video cards in 3-way SLi (may be any SLi configuration, not sure, I’ll do more tests later) the WHQL 258.96 firmware is buggy on windows 7 64 bit (yes it’s all fully updated including the bios). You will experience that ever so lovely “The display adapter has stopped responding and recovered” error message about every 30-45 minutes….depending on the intensity of the graphics in the application you’re running (DirectX based applications only so far). I will be installing a dual-boot Windows Vista / Windows 7 O/S option on this computer to see if I can pin point whether the problems is strictly windows 7 or if it is entirely on nVidia’s shoulders, unfortunately I am a full time IT student with a wife and a job to see to first lol. Check back for updates on this situation.
BTW on a side note, the GTX 460 uses a GF104 chipset by comparison to the GTX 465. Since I know this is the next conversation to get brought up I’ll nip it in the bud right here and now. The GF100 chipset used in the 465/470/480 runs slightly hotter and uses slightly more power compared to the 460 and yields slightly lower clock speeds. But the GF100 based chips are capable of 3 way SLi AND they have more polymorph engines due to the fact that the GF100 was a chip designed around workstations and not just people who like to see big numbers on their core clock. Do your homework on the two chips before you jump to any conclusions and decide one is better than the others.
Bu11d0z3r, nVidia cards have always been more expensive than ATI, if you’re just looking for a card to get you from point A to point B, ATI is fine and dandy. However, if you’re looking for a card with lots of options and versatility, like just to name a few, CUDA, PhysX, Stereoscopic 3d, Surround vision, tesselation, and the list goes on….then pay the extra 50 bucks and stop comparing apples to oranges. Sure your toyota camry cost less than my lexus….still doesn’t make it nicer.
Hmmm according to the price point its targeted to compete with Ati HD 5850 not 5830 even though its still expensive than 5850.
So if i am correct this is not impressive. I hope i am wrong though.
