My friends are considering me to get one of these as well. I am running on a crappy 9600 GT and i really want to upgrade to a 465 gtx. I am running on a 450W power supply. Would you reckon I would have to upgrade that too I am a techy noob lol
I haven't done much research on the 465 yet, but if it's built on the same architecture as the 460 and not the 470/480 a 450w PSU may be enough.
Or wait til November to see what AMD's new GPUs test at. From what I've heard they're going to launch the mid level class first.
The GTX465 is not as good as the GTX460. Confusing, I know. The 460 uses the newer and better GF104 core, the 465, 470, and 480 use the GF100 core. However, the GTX460 uses a crippled GF104 core, thus making it not as good in performance as the GTX470 or GTX480. Here is a list of the changes on the 460/465 Code: Graphics card GeForce GTX 460 768MB GeForce GTX 460 1024MB GeForce GTX 465 1024MB Graphics Processing Clusters 2 2 3 Streaming Multiprocessors 7 7 11 Shader processor 336 336 352 Texture Units 56 56 44 ROPs 24 32 32 Core Clock 675 MHz 675 MHz 607 MHz Shader Clock 1350 MHz 1350 MHz 1215 MHz Memory Data rate 3600 MHz 3600 MHz 3200 MHz Graphics Memory 768MB GDDR5 1024MB GDDR5 1024MB GDDR5 Memory interface 192-bit 256-bit 256-bit Memory bandwidth 86.4 GB/s 115.2 GB/s 102.6 GB/S Texture Fillrate Bilinear 37.8 GigaTexels/sec 37.8 GigaTexels/sec 26.7 GigaTexels/sec Fab node 40nm 40nm 40nm TDP 150 Watts 160 Watts 200 Watts Not listed in the above list is that the GTX460 768MB version has less l2 cache in it which affects compute performance.
100% get the 460 ... i was goin to nab a 465 when they first came out but I had a hunch thru some of my buddies at work that a 460 was coming out and they would have a card for the price much better then 465 ... im glad i waited now im just debating on MSI cyclone OC ... EVGA superclocked ... or Palit Sonic Plat edition ... funny thing is i tell people what to get all day at work and i cant decide what i want
step up is only 90 days ... ill be keeping it for 2 years ... i get a "replacement plan" for like 10 bucks so i can just exchange and get 200+ back for my card Nothing in the system yet i checked this morning ... We get stuff after newegg when it comes to video cards CPU's we are the shit
Wow, I typically would only go for the 1GB model, but I saw this today. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...4130562&cm_re=evga_460-_-14-130-562-_-Product The 768mb model has done a price drop for 199.99 to 169.99 w/o a rebate and free shipping. If you're looking for a solid upgrade on a budget, this is a very nice choice.
I would wait until the 19th when AMD are gonna reveal the first cards from the 6000 series (http://vr-zone.com/articles/amd-radeon-hd-6000-series-in-trouble-/9999.html), hopefully they'll start a price war and i can have myself a nice upgrade in time for christmas
