Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS vs GTX465

Hi,
So basically right now I have an EVGA Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS 640MB. It is a damn good card plays most of my games at 1080p resolution with most of the things maxed out with good frame rates. I just can't really use AA and some other things. However I am really thinking of upgrading to a DX11 card and really can't find benchmarks comparing these two cards. If I buy an Nvidia Geforce GTX465, will I notice a significant performance improvement?...basically the question is: Is the GTX 465 MUCH more powerful than the 8800GTS 640mb or just a little? Thank you for any help.

It is a big jump, though personally, I would save the money to get a 470. Or, if you do not insist on staying with Nvidia then an ATI 5850.
The 465 was the card created to outshine the ATI 5830...but the 5830 was already a fairly unpopular card anyway, so having a card to compete and beat it was a somewhat redundant exercise. Given the price of the 465 you are better off with an ATI 5850. So, if you want to stick with Nvidia then save for the 470
This should be an easy one. :) The 8800GTS 640MB was beat out by the 8800 GTS 512MB, which was beat out by the GTX 260, which is beat out by the GTX 465.

Performance wise, I think the 8800GTS 640MB was somewhere between the 8800GT and the ATI 4850.

Either save and go for the 470 or make the smart choice and get a 5850 ;)

Well I really don't need the 470. I just need something with DX11 that is nvidia and that beats the 8800GTS so i am getting something thats considerably more powerful. Although I will consider the 5850 :). I just wanted to know if the GTX465 was a significantly more powerful card.

Nah, few games support physx, I don't need that, I will just toss my 8800gts in the garbage or sell it for a few bucks on ebay. I just need a solid GPU that has DX11, is powerful, and is able to run on my 850watt PSU. And a 5850 or a GTX465 seem to be perfect candidates for the job so i'll have to decide.
