Nvidia GeForce GTX 465 1 GB Review: Zotac Puts Fermi On A Diet

Features
By published

We've already crowned Nvidia's GeForce GTX 480 the fastest (and most power-hungry) single-GPU card we've ever seen. Now the company is launching its GeForce GTX 465, based on the same massive GF100 GPU. Can such a complex part compete with AMD's value?

Benchmark Results: Battlefield 2: Bad Company

At 1680x1050, Nvidia’s new GeForce GTX 465 takes its rightful place between the Radeon HD 5850 and 5830. But running Bad Company at 1920x1200 or 2560x1600 shows the new board getting edged out by AMD’s less-expensive Radeon HD 5830.

    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.

    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

    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.
