Benchmark Results: 3DMark Vantage
Early on, 3DMark Vantage paints a somewhat dreary picture of performance from the GeForce GTX 465. With an estimated price of $279, the card costs somewhere around $60 more than the less-expensive Radeon HD 5830 ($80 more, if you count rebates), and yet the 5830 turns in better results in this synthetic metric.
Of course, we know well enough that synthetics aren’t actually games that people play, so their value in determining performance is somewhat debatable. Let’s see whether real-world tests corroborate what 3DMark is telling us.

Dang, it looks like Nvidia has almost no real answers for the AMD/ATI lineup of cards. However, if this card can drop in price a little it may be competitive because of some of it's Nvidia-only features. I mean, it runs cooler and uses a fair amount less power than the 470 and 480, maybe this will become the Phsyx card to get ? Espescially if they could manage a single slot version and drop the price. Anyways, no competition is bad for everyone and I hope Nvidia can get their act together asap.
i'll stick to my crossfire'd 5770s. same money and same power consumption.

Or a 5870 same thing less problems but thats just me. oh and that thing got pwnd by a 5830 and thats not saying much.
wow, the pricing of this thing is all wrong. given how well the the 480 and 470 sit in the market, this just seems like a pointless card.
How many times do I have to say that this is nothing but a marketing gimmick for defective GTX480's and possibly 470's as well. Like the 5830 which was a cut/gimped/ or limited 5850
sorry 5870 on the above comment
make it 60 cheaper and you might have a good card but i would buy a 5850 over this thing everyday of the weel
retail is messed up they charge you for a brand not the product by comparison. Whats worse is that people will buy it.
The GTX4xx line is definitely not the way it is to be played and this latest crappy piece of hardware further proved it. Hot and expensive but poor on performance. The more cards they launch, the clearer ATI's victory becomes.
Fail, fail, fail...suitable words for Nvidia at this moment.
Yeah well who cares who is the 'victor' of this round, remember the 2900XT ? It goes back and forth forever, pulling for one team over the other is silly considering that as consumers we have historically gotten the best prices when BOTH camps were churning out cards as good as the other one, and they were forced to do multiple price cuts.
Well, I meant ATI's victory for this generation of cards.

That's every card and CPU today that isn't the top of the line. If they have defective ones, they shut down what doesn't work, price it (hopefully) accordingly to performance, and everyone wins.
The Conclusion is spot on...
Chris, I'm looking at the temps and the HD5870 is 10c cooler then next nearest card in terms of cooling performance which is a bit odd. Have you thought about using the Delta T method rather then using absolute values to evaluate cooling performance?
Excluding the disabled GPC, it seems a bit odd to disable just one SM.
overpriced WTH?? cant nvidia come up with a decent pricing scheme???
too expensive, just looks good. Not a good one.
One word.... OverPriced!!
