    What would you pay for a GTX 465?

    I have been expecting the price of a GTX 465 to drop pretty low what with the release of the HD 6850 and the fact that the cheaper GTX 460 1gb seems to be better. However as yet I haven't seen one that cheap, just wondered what people's opinions were ... at what price would you get a 465 over a 6850 or 1gb 460!?

    I'd personally pay £15 for one. Not a penny more, mind.

    Re: What would you pay for a GTX 465?

    On a serious note considering the GTX 465 is seen worse than the 460's you would be looking at sub £100 i think.

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: What would you pay for a GTX 465?

    I wouldn't, frankly. It's simply not a good enough graphics card to make it worth spending money on, when there are reasonably priced alternatives. I'd rather spend £150 on a GTX460 or HD6850 than £100 on a GTX465.

    Don't forget that the GTX465 is actually more expensive to make than any of the cards it's competing with, so there's a point past which the cards will be selling at a loss, and it probably isn't too far off. Eventually companies will need to shift the stock so they at least get some return on the stock, but they'll put that day off for as long as humanly possible...

    Re: What would you pay for a GTX 465?

    So in terms of graphics cards is it one of the biggest flops ever?

    Some GTX465 cards can be flashed to a GTX470:

    Did you actually read the whole thread there CAT? The general message is that the vast majority of GTX465s will brick if you try to flash them to a GTX470, and the ones that could flash were probably GTX470s that had been flashed down to a GTX465 to get review samples out in time. I think this would be a very poor reason to buy one...

    Re: What would you pay for a GTX 465?

    ~£100, would rather have a GTX460 as it's cooler/faster and overclocks well, so the 465 would have to go down to around £100 to be tempting at all.

    Just get a 6850/460 ?

    Both the 5830/465 are under-performing cards requiring more power than cards that perform better, they are the cancer of their respective generation.

    Re: What would you pay for a GTX 465?

    Yeah, same again. Wouldn't touch the 5830 even if it dropped as low as £100 because there are better performing cards with lower power draw and better features. I know that if I bought either a GTX465 or a 5830 I'd spend the whole of the rest of the time I owned the card (which for me is likely to be 3 - 5 years: I'm not a frequent upgrader) wishing I'd bought a GTX460 or a HD6850...
