Has ANYONE bought a GTX 465? Am I the only one here with one?

It's kinda weird being the ONLY one here with a GTX 465....

Or an HD 5830 for that matter...

Has anyone else here bought one? If so how's it working for you?

Although my review was done in my x3 rig, I now have my 465 in my (x3 at) x4 system, now with a proper monitor (Samsung 24" 1080p).

I'll be re-running some benchies soon with this setup, as I think that the 465 is a bit sensitive to cpu limitation, and I think it's a lot happier with this extra core.

... And how do you like it?

Is it an 8 or 10 RAM chip version?

Wow, two of these in SLI should be pretty fantastic, probably a good notch above the performance of a single 480, right?

That's new thread-worthy.

Seeing as how it seems to perform like a GTX275, which could be bought for less a year ago, I see no reason to bother.

Even in your link it's faster than the 285 in many of those games and right there with it in others.

One frame faster than a 275 in Crysis, two frames slower than a 285, and I would say Crysis/Warhead is still the best looking game on PC. :P

Don't forget, with the 465 you can overclock it to perform alongside a 470. And you can also fiddle about and perhaps unlock the extra shader cores if you are feeling up to it.

Probably.... I'm sticking with my 285. I've looked at the performance and for the price it'd just make more sense to get an older last gen card if you're looking at performance.... unless DX11 is a big deal to you.

Which is why in my case I would just go for a 2nd 285 first.... which by the way since the 285s and 465s are so similar in performance I'd imagine 2 465's would outperform a single 480 in a non vram bound game
